Wild Bill JENKINS put it in front lets get manifold on here the Iatolofchevola it only toook Chev 20+ years  to get it RITE

i say who cares....the people makin the most noise here dont have running boats. 

If I was a neutral minded car buyer, I would take the stang every time on the basis of it having almost the same amount of power as the limited edition zo6 at half the price. 

The GT is not a straight line drag car!  The GT has a lot smaller engine than the other 2.  The GT has better numbers on a track when put up against other exotic supercars.  The GT was built to be a Ferrari killer and it does.

I would say the GT is holding is own pretty fuking good here on a test done by road and track.

That's not what you were saying a few months ago when you were building one!

you did a good job showing a car with more horse power, larger displacement AND a supercharger only keeping up with its true rival. I would think with 1.1L more displacement and a Blower that it should be turning more then only 67HP more then the Ferrari.

Comparing those 2 you made me want a ferrari only that much more.  The fit and finish of the GT is garbage comparred to a ferrari, I have been for a ride in a GT, I know someone who owned one along with ferraris, austin martin DB9, and vintage racing cars. I wonder why he got rid of the GT.

A little trivia for ya: Ford couldn't call the car the GT-40 because the dumb asses never copywrited the name. I think it was sometime in the late '70's or early 80's that some guy's copy writed the name. They demanded that Ford pay them several million dollars outwrite or some stuped amount like $25 K per car to use the name GT-40.

Just another example as to how stupid the court system is, it was Ford, not two dipstick's that made that name have value. The name rightly belonged to Ford, but they never registered the copywrite.

I don't ever remember seeing it written G/T 40  maybe it is but I don't think so.

The video you posted, I went to the SEMA show in '06 and there were 3  1,000+ hp TT GT's

Oh, I'll put my little single carb Ford up against any Chevy posting. ( Carry on)
