Not surprising, shortly after we shot this car for this feature, Blaine sold the GT to fund his next project-an '03 Cobra. His goal with that car is to be the first 10-second, top-blower-pulley-only car. Of course, Blaine has limited himself to the stock blower, trans, and rearend. Get ready for the sequel.
