TT u rock 8) just spent a couple of hours reading it, it was great :D i didn't expect either of the 2 cars to win...

Thank you very much, awesome article :D :D

bloody hell TT, you are crazy! :shock:

I cant thank you enough for all the scans mate, they are a great read, I will download one by one and read them later, but a book like this has to be bought to be appreicated. Thanks alot for the scans, awesome quality :mrgreen:

Wow TT, how many time did you spend scanning all this stuff in? Thanks a bunch! Your effort is much appreciated!

Well, since I got #88, I had to scan the whole 87 in a day ;)

Thx TT :D

I'm personally not surprised by the winner; i simply feel the Ford GT is one of the most awesome supercars ever built. It' beautiful to look it; has a great V8 with a Nascar bark and it's faster than most.

Surprised as well to find the GT up there in 1st place... even in front of the F430

hehe ,

The brits are heavely involved in building the GT :

Supercharger Eaton : UK made
Gearbox Ricardo : UK made
Steering taken from an Aston : UK made
The engine developed by Roush : UK company

Brakes Brembo : italian made :mrgreen:

So i`am not very surprised

Thx for the effort TT , we appreciate :D

Are you quite sure about that? Last I read, Eaton superchargers are made in the US. Roush is a US-based company (headquartered in Livonia, Michigan), and the GT engine was developed in the States.

Awesome scans, thanks!

^^^^guess what , being based in britain the stuff it`s uk made :mrgreen:

Nowhere on that page does it say that Roush is UK based. That is just Roush's UK arm, which is overseeing the care of the Euro press Ford GT's, as well as homologation of Ford GT's for the Euro market. (They also do the tuning of the Duratec engines found in Nobles.) Roush is still American-based.

The engine development (dyno tuning as well as in-car test mule work) was carried out in the States. As a bit of trivia, the Ford GT team (for project "Petunia") set up shop in a former Roush building in Detroit, in fact, to avoid direct meddling from Ford bureaucrats.

But the Brits did help in developing parts of the car, no question about that.

Nice article :wink:

Thanks TT!!!

Thank you very much! It was a great read and it must have been a hell lot of work for you to scan so many pages!

OK I finally got around to reading it all, great article and sounds like a fun trip they had! :D

The winner wouldn't have been my choice, personally I'd take the SE or F430. :D

Thanks a million for scanning it TT, I understand how much time it must've taken. :D
