Yeah, no wonder that car is so expensive, but still imagine raping ferraris all day in that thing. I mean i'd rather be seen in an enzo, but for the price of an enzo these days, i'd get the GT a new e55 for a daily driver, a suburban 4x4 for the snow, and a house.

damn, thats insane. Wonder why Ford underrated it so much? Not like people who can afford this car would have insurance issues.

Sorry Jim nice effort by Ford but not an Enzo killer. This car won't touch an Enzo around a track.

And you're basing your findings on?? I'm a fan of the Enzo as much as the next guy, but your statement is just coming off as highly short-sighted...

I was working out at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the F1 race this past year. Sir Jackie Stewart was given a few laps in a Ford GT and it sounded wonderful. We had our cameras down on the start finish line and I was shooting the GT from the driverside window as he accelerated from the start finish line down the front stretch; it sounded wonderful.

It looks very nice in person, not overdone, but as though all of the components flow together. I remember walking through the back security area where it was parked and people were literally climbing the fence to get a look at the GT.

lol, why not? because its not built by ferrari? because why? it doesnt cost 650,000 dollars?? lol.


the ford gt will easily compete, if not beat the ENZO in alot of different categories and characteristics, and for a fraction of the cost of an Enzo.

FORD can MAKE power N/A. The 00 cobra R was a good example. 5.4L rated at 385hp.But almost all were dynoing like 360-370RWHp. Which is more like 400+ hp. The z06 dynos the same but remember I have a 5.7L. The viper has a 8.3L V10. So buddy the ford has the HIGHEST hp/liter out of those. Feel stupid now?


They use superchargers for efficeincy and what I think is to hook up the aftermarket tuner. Now a days a cobra or a lightning are so easy to make HUGE HP. Just add a pulley, and BIG POWER.

New tech motors + boost = death to all else

Darrin thats alot of shit talking for someone who is no faster than a well driven BONE STOCK 99+ 5 speed, who's only advantage over the J32 is displacement. :o

And for the record 03/04 Mach 1 Mustangs run mid/low 13's and are N/A. They do it with DOHC and low displacement relative to the large displacement & OHV LS1's.

And I know it may be unfair to bring the modified argument into the conversation, but there are 302 based Mustangs that run 10's all motor.

I just think this guy thinks im a NOOB. Im only this board because a cousin of mine has a cl-s and Im helping him modify it. Im a well respected and moderator of a few boards that invovle cars I own and owned.

I hate when people try to debate but just talk like they are 11 yrs old. I mean IM ALL FOR different point of views but atleast back your self up.

Thinking the GT MOTOR is not IMPRESSIVE? Thats just shows what the hell is going through his brain.

don't mind him, he's our forum thug. your welcome on this board anytime. and don't worry, the import vs domestic supercar thing, exists, only in his mind. go on darrin, tell the man how honda's pussy V6-wannabe supercar, can hang with his Z, which he paid 1/2 as much for.

at least when, the domestics bring power, they also bring high quality, durable, automatics. go ahead, and tell the man how good the transmission is in your "high hp n/a car"

high horsepower n/a, vs whimpy engineers who have to use old tech+blowers? sounds like imp vs domestic arguement to me. and if you read carefully, you'll see I'm on your side, but if your going to be a jerk, I can easily switch back sides, and knock the "Ford quality" that will undoubtable be present in that GT!

Never said honda COULDNT.
We all know how much torque that car has, even though I really like that car.

2.2L =260hp

5.4L =650hp

Ford definitly sucks ass IMO but they do have a couple of rides that I'd kill for. A 1970 Boss 429 Mustang is one of them...this is another. However I was reading an article on the new Saleen supercar...the one from Bruce Allmighty..anyways I was reading the section where they say Good,Bad yada yada yada...and in the bad section was noisey power steering pump. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !Every vehicle ford has evewr made has that damn power steering whine. ALL OF THEM and they can't even correct the problem on their most expensive supercar ever. I'm sorry but sometimes I wonder what the hell where they thinking. As far as the new GT...hot as hell and everything but it doesn't even hold a stick to the Enzo!!

Bigman said he'd rather have the new GT, E55, suburban and a house over the Enzo...fuck that man give me the Ferrari!!!!
