Wasn't the Ford GT already tested by Jeremy? or is this a new one w/ the Ford GT in England? He reallly likes the car because it was a childhood dreamcar of his and he pretty much praises the car for being perfect! :shock:

It had better be at least that fast, I'd think it'll be closer to the SLR though, it has significantly more torque and power than the 360 in any guise, and even in 400bhp trim, it was 5 seconds a lap faster than a standard 360 at Laguna Seca.

 I have recorded it. I'm going to take a beer from the fridge, search for some chips and watch it.
It might be a simple thing, but at the moment I feel like life can't get much better 8)
