Rep Power: 285 alot closer stock for stock but still.......how much more is the GT??? exactly. and its a ford.

Rep Power: 250 Would take a GT over the Vette any day. Who has the chick in the car? haha
That being said, the vette is still impressive.
When they tested the Vette on Top Gear, handling was ridiculed. Even the Ford GT is subpar in comparison to the supercars they get overseas.

i never said it was the best in the world, or that it would ever beat an italian supercar. but for around 60k, what will you find that is better? and dont be impractical and say "derrr id buy a supah mad hooked up skyline yo!"
i dont pay much attention to everything they say. they are mostly opinionative and they compare cars against each other wether its on a wet or hot dry course without at least changing tires for the better. but dont get me wrong, i think topgear is awsome and i love the jokes here and there lol they are funny guys, plus they have interesting challenges sometimes.

why bother with all that, just buy the Shelby GT, put a smaller pulley on the super charger and you'll eb right there with both those cars.

Rep Power: 278 i think you guys are arguing over the same point which i also share. you cannot buy a better rounded car for the money. as far as speed and quickness it pretty much is a supercar.

look, thats what you get, a no BS car. they dont make it special cus who cares, its not made to scratch your ***** at red lights, its made to go fast and hold you in while doing it. consider it a luxury to have such an interior in it. what do you expect CF or all brushed aluminum or something? what do you think keeps cost down? spending money on aluminum frames n ****, not aluminum gauge clusters so you can say wow i feel fulfilled now.

i shouldn't even have to say this, but just because the gt is a ford makes ZERO difference. it is a car that was designed specifically to boost ford's name and to raise excitement about the brand. and the gt's are hand built in a special plant that was made just for them.

that or ive worked on every make and probably every model car and ford is one of the worst, especially mid to late nineties. however the worst is chrysler late 80's to early 2000's. and im not basing this on opinion, its on frequency of repairs and extensiveness of the repairs needed relative to mileage and age of car.

Rep Power: 286 The GT looks like it has down syndrome. I think it's horrible looking. And to even compare it to Ferrari or Lambos.. WTF?!
