  • Allow me to answer the question in the video...

    Which gear? In the case of the GT...

    ... neutral would be all it would take.

  • FOR ALL WHO WANT TO GO TO THE JAPANESE AND ITALIAN SPORT CAR! YOU SUCK

  • car porn

  • Camillo Pardo the re-designer of the ford GT back in 2005 used to be a good friend of mine.. we lost contact after my father was diagnosed with cancer, and his mother retired from Casa Maria Family Services here in Detroit.

  • My dream car. Sad to know it's discontinued.

  • Ford is capable of a lot.

    Like not going bankrupt.

  • Does anyone know if Ford still makes this car or did they dis-continue it?

  • It has been discontinued, but really it was never planned to be sold for more than only a few years. I think it was only made to re-gain recognition and to show what Ford is capable of.

  • Good job man, ford certainly did selling close to 5,000 Ford GTs'.

  • you are right it was just to celebrate the 100th bday of FOMOCO

  • Oh yeah? I didn't know that one... Learned something new today, thanks, johnny.

  • For the right price I'm pretty sure Ford will make you one.

  • Discontinued.

  • They only made it for 2 years. 2005/2006

  • Its been out of production for years.

  • Discontinued, and sadly the plant is now sitting empty :( I drive past it every day, and a little part in my heart frowns.

  • ouch my pride

  • that car makes my pants tight.

  • lol

  • Me two!!!!

  • Saweet

  • So good.

    So good.

  • ANY GUYS UP?

    anyone want to chat Zh

  • Ford GT = the best.

    American muscles and the Japanese sportscars = the only real cars.

  • the first gts rear main seal failed. and the upper a-arms cracked there was alot of re-calls.ouch can u imagine getting up to 200mph and the a-arms break? nutts-to-that!

  • The quality of the commerical makes it seems like its from the 80s or 90s.

  • 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.

  • Look at what a 330 Windsor can do!

  • ITS NOT A WINDSOR

  • 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

  • that car is awsome

  • 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.

  • kinda went a bit too far there lol

  • I definitely like the Pantera. But I also definitely like the GT. If only God-speed didn't cost so much money.

  • they never left forth gear went 140 and out ran the helicopter also discontinued for 07 only added back in 08 but not on fords site

  • my friend have that car

  • Pure beauty.

  • this is my favorite car

  • Gotta love internet racers like sycomantz.

  • 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.

  • i know i am!! i wish i could afford one!! SHIT!! i would go but it in a fucking heartbeat!!

  • mon char préféré et de rêve

  • engineering at its best

  • haha yeah right all the GT40 has is a supercharged mustand v8. if you call that engineering at its best you need to come back to reality.

    nothing America offers is engineering at it best unless its fighter jets but its more def not automobiles

  • the fact that they can get so much power from a mustang v8... does that not define engineering?

  • 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.

  • Because its marketed at people buying cars in the 25K-30K price range. HP cost money no matter who the car is made by

  • the FORD GT engine is actually from the f-150 lightning, except the gt uses an aluminum block instead of the f-150's iron block

    i'm not positive but I don't think the 5.4 was used in any mustangs prior to the current GT500

  • 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.

  • ha you think so. The Mine's R34 skyline would kill the Ford GT and the Nissa GT-R would demolish it.

    Ford GT ran 742 on the nurb and the Nissan GT-R ran 738 do the math.

    fuck the Ford GT

  • "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

  • i think your a bit jelous you can't afford one

  • It was designed in England with Lotus, BMW and Aston Martin Parts.

    Yet we call it American.

  • the design still looks american, has an american motor.

    but you do raise a good point. Ford cant take full credit for this vehicle

  • this NEW Ford GT is ALL American...

  • This NEW Ford GT got DISCONTINUED in 2007.

  • What do you mean with "discontinued"?

  • They stopped making it.

  • 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

  • its just as fast as a z06 on the nurb and cost like 30-40k more.

    or as i said jst get a Nissan GT-R for about 80k and smoke both

    or as i said

  • the GTR only comes with right steering wheel so not anyone can drive it..however it depend on the contry reigon you live..

  • the GTR only comes with right steering wheel so not anyone can drive it..however it depend on the contry reigon you live..

  • 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

    so what are you talking about

  • first of all "you are stupid" wasn't necessary

    second..just as you said i was talking about the GTR being only RHD..look dude my infomation is based on the previous GTR (R34)

    so i'm not sure about the new one.. and I didn't know it was released globaly (acually I'm happy to know that)...

  • no, L0000000000000000L is right tard shit

  • 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

  • what does a G35 have to do with his convo. we are talking about the GT-R and Ford GT

  • the Ford GT is faster than the Nissan GT-R, sorry.

  • says who? you? because Edmunds or Top Line or whatever said so?

  • 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.

  • ford gt is a legend. and all i'm saying is this: fuck you

  • next time you try to insult a legend maybe you should consider how many people will hate you!

  • 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+)

  • based on the engine from the ford lightning

    i wouldnt call 7k alot you average crate motor is aabout 5k

  • 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

  • either way id just get a Nissan GT-R and smash the Ford GT like the 911 turbo. z06, f430 etc

  • ? 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.

  • why dont you go look at laptimes. they are all there. the GT-R shits on the Ford GT 738.

    738 comes before 742 which means the GT-R is 4 seconds faster clown

  • lol if i had 1 of them i would park really far away from every1 else

  • Sex

  • it is sex in wheels

  • blew me pants!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 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.

  • I have a Ford GT, I hardly ever drive it though but this video has inspired me leave the house in an hour and go night driving in it.

  • what he meant to say is, the engine type is the same, i guess the materials used isnt?

  • Best car their is. Did you know the engine in it is teh same one that in the ford lightning pick up.

  • inccorrect

    ford gt has aluminum block

  • ur wrong rabidz is right, the block is from the ford lighting

  • its almost the same but the one in the Ford GT has 550 Horse Power the one in the lightning has like 390 or something like that.

    But the Ford GTX1 has 700 Horse power and its convertible wow its SEXY!!

  • 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"...

  • WOW this car is an absolute savage

  • Thats at Infineon raceway in the U.S isn't it???

  • No, Thunderhill. About an hour north.

  • its laguna seca. note the corkscrew.

  • oh god thats thats mso so beautiful oh god dude oh man im goonna cry dude thats my favorite car right there

  • the ferrari killer is back.these things are gorgeous in person

  • they should advertise the focus like this

  • ford gt's rule and the patriots are way cooler than the colts

  • and i'll bet you'd go for the patriots in the superbowl instead of the colts too

  • Beautiful car.

  • Anyone know what track that is?

  • too bad theres no supercharger sound like there should be...

  • Sick car. Awesome ad!

  • Perhaps the best automobile ad ever made. Exceptional filming, audio, voice-over and editing!

  • for less than half the price ill take the Z-06

  • For less than half the price of the Z06, I'll take my custom Supra :)

  • why the fuck? the Ford is better looking, faster, better handling and much cooler.

  • 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.

  • handles like crap?

    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.

    your move...

  • 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.

    ...and you say that they're "unbiased".

  • I said "anything but unbiased".

  • Oh. My bad, but I'm glad you're on my side

  • It's cool, bro, and to answer your question, no I haven't seen that episode, but I'm a go look for it right now.

  • 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,are a little better

  • 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
