Its not a full blast production car. Its a modded Vette. So that wont work.


Lets talk about production cars. Fastest straight out of the factory. And not some one off or 5 car production run.

67 is a lot closer to 5 then 5,000... let alone 399
sooooo... since 5,000 is way much less close to 5 then 399 is... then the Ford GT eclipses anything as the Worlds Fastest Production Car!

What is the top speed of the Ford GT? A Murcielago will hand it its ass in a race.

As for tuned cars and their top speed, the Gemballa tuned Diablo VT Roadster hit a confirmed 410km/h or 255mp/h and it would rip the Callaway in half when it comes to straight line acceleration or going around a bend.

Teflon I don't think so the Ford GT goes .2 secs slower than an Enzo in a 1/4 mile and the Top speed is electronically set at 205 mph but 216 mph has been reached at Nardo.

[nthfinity]

212mph @ nardo with the silver/black stripes GT, the yellow/black stripes hit 209 mph when it had about 7,000 miles on it, the silver/black one was fairly well 'worn' in as well.

it is concievable that the GT would hit 216 if there was no banking, but it 'only' was 212mph at its top end.

dont forget, the gt. vs murcialago comparison, i think is fairly good... the two cars have similar weights, and simlar power ratings... so a comparison is inevitable. one is ferocious, and the other is easy to drive

[TeflonTron]

Hmm. I actually agree strongly with you, nthfinity: it is a good comparison between the two cars. However, pre-production numbers have to be taken with a huge pinch of salt: what makes it onto the road is all that is important. I would be interested to see how the two cars compare in say 0-60, 0-100, 0-150 and on a racetrack: both twisty and long straightaways.

[FordGTGuy]

yeah but have fun trying to to get your hands on the cars and testing them.

[TeflonTron]

LOL. If I get them I'll make a few vids!

[FordGTGuy]

be sure to get back to me.

Based on testing at Nardo. A Diablo with 900BHP is a mean beast indeed.
