Gorgeous car, but you gotta love when a video like this gets posted how some of the so called 'car experts' put down their video game controllers to offer their two cents, and they don't have a clue what they're talking about. You can read all the magazines and internet articles you want, but unless you actually get behind the wheel and drive one, all your 'this car and this car kicks it's ass' means fuck all.
Fine, Romeo, or whatever. It's the same engine. the 5.4L engine they use is the same one in the pickups but with four valve heads, and forced induction. Maybe it was made in the Windsor plant, maybe it was made in the Romeo plant, either way, it's a 330 CI engine
this is hotter than: the e-type, all ferraris except the 250 gto, all spaceship exotics like zonda etc, all porsches ever made, countach, every merc ever built including gullwing, all lambos except miura, and maybe maybe even the de tomaso pantera.
sycomantz your are an idiot more than half the things you said on your comments are straight wrong! you need get you facts straight about the ford gt engine. read up on these things before you make your self look stupid.
if they could get so much power from a mustand v8. they wouldnt only be getting 300hp out of a 4.6 liter
when you have the likes of infinti getting out 4.5@325 liter with out really trying to squeeze power out and audi 4.2l@420hp and bmw 4.3l@414 for their high performance v8's without Fi might i add
the GT500 needs a Blower and 5.4l and doesnt even produce 500hp it produces nearly 450hp. sad
a mustang v8 is hardly impressive the ls motor has little bragging rights but not many
First of all, its A Ford GT, not a GT40, that would be a race car from the sixties. Secondly, this is not a Mustang engine. The GT500 uses a completely different block. Also, one word, TORQUE. While the 4 litre, not 4.3 litre, V8 by BMW is impressive, it only produces 298 lb/ft of TQ, while the GT500 makes 480 lb/ft of TQ.
A 5.4 liter was used in the 2000 SVT Cobra R. Only 300 were made though. Quite the collectable. Either way, hp/lb and dollar for dollar the Ford GT blows away anything the Brits, Italians, or Japs can throw at us. Perhaps not straight line, but at the track it dominates.
who gives ashit about hp per dollar when you cant put the power to the ground unless you use slicks on a drag strip but cant take it through twisties. who cars about drag racing.
either way the GT500, cobra, GT all get their ass whipped by lower hp more refined cars such as G35's, IS's, 330, 335, S4, G37's, RS4's, M3's
and the list goes on and on
and if i wanted to dominate a str8 line ill get my a Skyline or Supra. fuck tangs
I was only talking about the Ford GT, not the live axle mustangs. The GT would trounce your Skyline around a track and you can easily take it through the twisties.
"Your" R-34 (I doubt you own one, it's easy to claim it when you're just a little screen name on youtube) would get demolished around "The Ring" by a Ford GT and the GT-R is amazing but those numbers come from a pre-production version. The production version will weigh almost 500 lbs more than the GT, have only 475hp (and less torque), and come with smaller meats with less lateral grip (which will undoubtedly turn worse times at a twisty track like Nurburing). Keep dreaming though.
Cars are much more than their numbers. For example my old 1990 Procharged mustang is faster than any american made production car but that definately doesnt mean its better. I would take my slower 03' cobra over it any day of the week
that has nothing to do with how good of a car it is or not. They only planned to make it for a few years, i read this before it even came out... do your homework, they wanted to give the world a taste of what they were capable of.
The Ford GT is one of the fastest cars, in the "twisties" as you put it, produced. For far less than any ferrari or lambo. I dont get why your so hostile isnt like any of us own this thing lol
im not sure if you know what you just said b/c i dont or what you are talking about.
but if you are saying the GT-R is only a RHD you are stupid b/c its being released globaly which means US also and there are already pictures of the US version LHD GT-R
oh my god, you know nothing about cars. how about you DRIVE the cars before you say anything. because my uncle has a G35 and my dad has a GT and we took them to the local track, it wasn't even close at all
don't get him wrong, the GT-R is a great car for the value. But make no mistake, the Ford GT is beyond a doubt a real supercar and will embarass the GT-R.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Really, I kinda doubt that. Maybe in overall feel, in Top Gear they say the GT-R is almost souless for being so fast, but it did go faster around the track than the Ford. All I'm saying is this: you're retarded.
so it uses a Truck motor. not a motor build specifically for the GT. i love Mustangs always will but would never use them in a arguement or any american car even a Z06 in terms of racing.
but if i did. the Z06 and new Zr-1 would be the ones i'd use. even though the Nissan GT-R and GT-R V-spec will eat them both
The motor in the ford GT was built specifically for the Ford GT it is an 5.4L Aluminum Dry Sump Engine. They were a very limited produciton run and the engine blocks are worth alot of money (7k+)
Yes they are from the sam family of engines but its a giant step up! Far as the 7k thats just for the Block! nothing else lol the crate motor costs $25,000
? The Ford Gt will out preform these cars on a race track. However Its really is a race car in sheeps clothing (6-8 mpg yikes!) this and other things make all the cars you mentioned FAR more practicle in the every day real world IMHO. Not to mention you cant get out of the car if someone is parkeed next to you in a parking space LOL
then you are mistakes the Ford GT ran a 742 at the nurb which is the same time as the z06 making both two secs slower than the 911 turbo and 4 secs slower than the Nissan GT-R
so i know what you are talking about racer car in sheep clothing. an again it cost over 100k
i rather have the z06 i nthat cause and just take it to lingenfelter if i wanted an american car
you are a fucking tard, no the ford gt did not infact run a 742, actually it was only 0.45 seconds behind the nissan, and i just bought a new whipple supercharger for mine from heffner and it could slaughter any corvette or any ferrari (exept maybe enzo) any day.
Thunderhill has a curve kinda like the corkscrew, but it's actually a curve, not a chicane like the corkscrew. It looks alot like Thunderhill, so i'll put my money on that. Oh and that car is beautiful! Cant wait to see it race in ALMS next year!
The only similarity between the engine in the GT and the engine in the Lightning pickup is the displacement. The engine in the GT is basically a race motor whereas the 5.4 in the truck is a regular 5.4 with a blower on it. They are nothing alike.
The Ford Gt's block is ALL aluminum. The ONLY similarities between it and the Lightning's block is the displacement. Do a little research before posting uneducated comments.
One problem though... Ferrari's,Lamborghini's,Bentley's,Aston martin's,Bugatti's,Mercedes- Benz's,Jaguar's,Leopard's,Maserati's,
Porsche's,or Pagani's don't look as good, and they don't have the beautiful sound or raw in your face feels like you got curb stomped feel of the American V8. Like the old saying goes: "If I have to explain it you wouldn't understand"...
Its slower by 5 mph, (stock to stock) and the vette handles like crap compared to the gt, in fact, all american cars, handle like crap, compared to the gt.
depending on the magazine you read (Motor Trend vs. Car and Driver) the Vett is faster on the track. why would it handle like shit? very close weight, very close hp, and both have 50/50 weight dist.
Why don't you go drive one? They don't handle like a super car should. You could watch the new vette's review on the show Top Gear, they're really good about having honest unbiased opinions.
Hey, buddy, I love Top Gear, it's probably my favorite show ever, maybe, I do like Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm a lot too, but Top Gear is anything but unbiased. In fact, that's what makes it such a good show, because they review with emotions, not just facts.
Have you seen the episode where they matched up a '69 Dodge Charger with a brand new Bentley Continental GT? That had to be the most unfair match up I have ever seen, totally favoring the Bentley. Come on! 1960's technology, vs brand new technology, not to mention the Bentley had a 12 cyl engine with forced induction, while the Charger had an 8 cyl, naturally aspirated engine.

Hey, buddy, I love Top Gear, it's probably my favorite show ever, maybe, I do like Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm a lot too, but Top Gear is anything but unbiased. In fact, that's what makes it such a good show, because they review with emotions, not just facts.

Have you seen the episode where they matched up a '69 Dodge Charger with a brand new Bentley Continental GT? That had to be the most unfair match up I have ever seen, totally favoring the Bentley. Come on! 1960's technology, vs brand new technology, not to mention the Bentley had a 12 cyl engine with forced induction, while the Charger had an 8 cyl, naturally aspirated engine.
...and you say that they're "unbiased".

But the GT makes it look good. And V8 sound makes it even better. If I want high revving I just turn on my blender to make a margerita
