I wondered the same thing, but oh well. TT has to slip up sometime right? LOL
I'd move it myself, but it would delete other peoples posts, and people sometimes get upset by that.

Anyway, might as well just lock mine since this one is in the right section.

I've seen a comparison of the Ford GT with a 360 Stradale and a Porka GT3. It was a bit quicker, but not by much. I wonder what the mileage was on the GT they used? If it really does have that much power, it should have killed them!

It is a lot faster.

I doubt both Ferrari or Porsche will be nervous. First of all the GT is a limited run and will sell way north over the MSRP of $140k, secondly their image is too strong, and their clientele in general choose for Ferrari/Porsche for the whole package their line-up brings. Porsche owners in general don't consider Fords, as bad ass as this GT might be.

nonononono no way speedkillar i am thinking the very best run even when the engine is broken in with more hp will only be 3.6 MAYBE 3.5 i cant see it nearly breaking the 3 second barrier!

I think Road and Track already tested it and got a 3.3 second 0-60 time out of it...but that's really very dependent on the atmosphere, the road surface, the temperature...etc...etc...etc...however, 3 seconds sounds a little bit optimistic.

OK - just get 666 to edit his title to reflect all 565rwhp... ;)
