Uh the Ford GT is catching in on Ferrari :D

bmagni 08-21-2004 09:47 PM

i choose 360... i think they're not to compete one with the other... theyre on different classes

tigerx 08-21-2004 10:22 PM

^^^ lol the Ford GT was built solely to kick ferrari's ass, similar price but much bigger difference in performance :twisted: ^^^ and i posted this before jabba :P, i'll take the gt over the 360 ANYDAY.

Ford GT isn't in the same class, it's a step above, more exclusive, faster better looking, Probably more comfortable, McIntosh stereo, built for you specifically (most of them), Classic racing heritage. Don't get me wrong the Ferrari is a great car in every way but the Ford is just better.

The 360 CS may not be as good in performance compared to the Ford GT, but I wonder how well the Ferrari F430 will do against the GT...

3D_CARD 08-21-2004 11:09 PM

F430 won't beat a GT in strightline drag race, that's for sure --- plus GT is capable of 1+g skidpad, about the same as a F50 if slightly less than Enzo. F430 will beat Gallardo without a doubt, but GT is simply out of reach in term of raw ability.

Only with force induction can they match the spec figures... that would prolly mean twin-turbos in ferrari's case. Not to forget the GT has 1.5L over the 360 but i bet the ferrari chassis is beyond what ford can imagine. :)

What i wonder, is how small will be the F430 in the Daytona's mirror :twisted:

And exactly why do you compare the best Ford has to offer to a 360?
The Ford GT is a GT and it should be compared to a GT. That being the 575M. I want to see how well it will do against that 575. I really want to. Looks like the straight line argument is straight out of here. And the twisties :twisted: Ohh the sweet twisties.


Lastly Ford didnt beat Ferraris ass. :wink: Ferrari is a manufacturer with many cars. Hint hint Enzo, 575 hint cought hint.

i think the F430 will beat the Gt around a track cause if you saw the Top Gear video where they tested the GT, it only managed to go faster than the 360 CS by about 0.4 secs and the F430 will have more power than the 360 CS.

Well there really is no point in talking about a car that doesnt even officialy exist :wink: Be it positive or negative.

But yes it will have more power, and be a new car afterall. Remember the 360 is 5 or 6 years old. And everyone is comparing eveyrthig to it. Everything from 2004 Vettes to 2004 Galardos.

No ones compared them directly on track, and seeing as though theres only 0.4 of a second difference between them on the TG track i would think they're on track performance is fairly similar. Yes its got alot more torque but that doesen't really matter as much on a race track and theres numorous accounts in magazines of the CS being an excellent road car.

In favour of the GT it has exclusivity and an engine built in britain ;) But the CS has one of the greatest if not the greatest sounding engines and probably a marginally better chassis, theres no doubt i'd take the CS ;) And as people have said, the 360 is a 5-6 year old car and we're comparing it to a brand spanking new Ford GT, lets see how the F430 compares when it comes out.

Xploded 08-22-2004 10:57 AM

Thanks for the scans, I will give it a read over abit latter on .... but thanks for the work in advanced cant wait to get some time to read this one he he :D :D :D

TransAm 08-22-2004 11:31 AM

I'd still take the Ferrari regardless of DT's opinion.

BADMIHAI 08-22-2004 12:34 PM

If only the CS came with a six speed open gate shifter, I'd take it over the Ford any day. But even with the paddle shifters I'd probably still take the Ferrari. *runs to test drive both cars and see which one he will buy* :lol:
