in a straight line sure, but I'm not going to pay $80,000 for a $40,000 GT500 with a Kenne Bell blower, the blower ins't $40,000 
go on Top Gear's power lap list, there's 23 cars higher than the flagship Ford GT on the list, only one is a domestic, the ZR1, and 18 cars are higher than it on the list. lol, the GT500 was slower than the Focus RS I'm sure the 725hp supersnake would have been a little faster than the GT500 but not much, stock that power won't go to the ground and the power won't help in the turns.

You actually think the McLaren F1 is better looking? So plain and 80's supercar looking to me(plus you sit dead center with your passengers on either side of you). Oh well

i'm pretty sure he meant this Shelby SuperCars and not Carroll Shelby.
that's an assload of power though, pretty cool, hadn't seen that before. again I'm really talking about build quality more than anything. you can put 1,000hp into a civic but that doesn't make it better than a Ferrari.

I can't stand watching Top Queer(I mean Gear-lol) with the three little pigs mocking anything not made in Europe(News flash! Name a quality built, reliable English car?).
They're just BMW ****** anyway

they rag on british cars as much as american cars. I've never seen a show where they pretended that the Brit's make a good car they make fun of TVR's all the time for being built like crap. more on race gas or E85.

I may show some age but in the day that Boss9 had it share of fine woman, speed was never a problem but keeping the front wheels on the ground was, but that could be cause my right foot was trying to put a hole in the fire wall through the accelerator pedal!!!!!Didn,t seem to have a problem with Ferarri or porsch back then, but those darn hemi ''cuda'' could spoil a good day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
