GT any day. The super snake doesn't put power to the ground anywhere near as well as the GT. With the snake you get a cloud of smoke, with the GT you have a rocket ship.

Traveling back from CO and googled Birmingham World of Wheels Super Snake pics and your forum popped up, so I joined the forum - interesting, as the very first pictures that I saw were of my Super Snake, CSM11SS**64!! Your pictures are amazing, I am very impressed with your work. In addition, I understand from another post in this string indicates a problem with 'hook-up' to the ground - I drive this car nearly every weekend and can assure you that there is absolutely no problem with hook-up. Good drivers minimize the 'smoke' and maximize the 'go'. The constantly increasing force of being pushed back into your seat is as one of my engineering managers describes it - it is the feeling most near the force felt when accelerating while riding a super bike! Glad you enjoyed seeing the car...I am blessed to be able to share it with others.

I guess I will have to arrange for my neighbor and I to 'line 'em up', if you guys are interested. My neighbor in Chattanooga owns a red GT and we have driven each other's cars - we both have the greatest respect for each other's vehicles. If and when we run them, I will definitely 'GoPro' the entire episode, should be fun!

Being around the car hobby since hot wheels and santa claus, I've grown to appreciate cars as art in motion. I got the camera to help me try to bring the car hobby out in a different way for me. I really enjoyed taking a look at the details of your super snake. I was particularly impressed with the carbon fiber fascia and side skirts, along with the air management behind the rear wheels.
Thanks for bringing this car down to Birmingham....and definitely post pictures of your car and your neighbors when you can, I am sure I speak for everyone when I say it would be a pleasure to see.
