Ford GT is a nice super car, but after its release, i havent seen or heard anything about it...

 

do you expect to be seeing ford GTs everywhere? Ive seen one once, but its only because a guy who comes to a show thats 1/4 mile form my house is also a super car collector, so i also got to see his S7. I dont think most people on here go around seeing ford GTs very much

 

Thats not what i ment.. They dont get any media... I see Shelby GT-500s on the street though... But I see alot more Camaros especiallySS models and Corvettes, and according to a previous post the GT-500 is supposedly a car thats to compete with Corvettes and Vipers... i see those but GTs i do not.

 

take that with a huge grain of salt. 40k vs 80k+

 

Wow this thread is really kickin off, cool! Yeah everything that i've looked into when comparing any kind of the newer mustangs and corvettes (like v6, gt, shelby, and what not) ford competes with the corvette very well with there being a big difference in $$$

On another point. Did you guys know that the Ford Motor Co. lost 12.6 billion in 2006, while G.M. only lost about 4.6 billion? Even though both companies are amongst a "turnaround" in their companies... thats a big difference beteen the 2!

 

I've seen 3 ford GTs, on red w/ white stripes, one silver with blue stripes and one black with white stripes (I think thos are the combos) and those things are ****ing loud as hell.

don't they cost like 150 grand? someone told me that, but I can't see ford selling too many 100grand+ cars.

 

Ford cant compete withChevysCorvette. Maybe as far as price goes, but in the performance department they dontstand a chance..The Z06 Makes 505hp out of a STOCK7L LS7 Aluminum block, while the Ford MustangGT500 makes 500hp out a 5.4L Iron block, RootsEaton supercharger and air to water intercooler and Aluminum heads. BUT even with all those fancy modifications its still cheaper than a 2008 Z06... Why? Because of how they are built I would imagine it costs a pretty penny to create the body/engine for a corvette than it does a Mustang.

Ford cannot build a car thats faster than a Chevy car of similar stature (ie. Camaro Z28 vs MustangGT, LS2Corvette vs Mustang GT and especially Shelby GT-500 Vs Z06.) without supercharging it. And im not talking early models either, im talking late models, cars that are up and coming and are new to the streets that have better more modern technologies than the old boats of the 60s 70s and early80s.

 

Well I wasn't saying that Ford was actually better then Chevey Corvettes in the power aspect or head to head... I was only saying that consedering the price difference they do ok

 

lol they werent plannin on makin too many
it was a limited edition car made to celebrate fords 100th bday

and for god sakes the mustang was never supposed to compete with the corvette, people always get it twisted that way
the thunderbird was supposed to go up against the vette but it failed miserably and went from a 2 seater to a 4 seater coupe
the vette has 2 seats while the stang has 4 (even though we all know the back seats are useless for people)

and i agree with you ford cannot build a car to compete with chevy, because ford doesnt charge that damn much lol

and this may **** some people off but i hate the gt500, how many horses is it putting to the wheels? how many horses was the terminator cobra putting to the wheels? i was expecting a hell of alot more from a 5.4

and for my final rebuttle of the night
ford turned a profit this year
something gm and its many dying brands have yet to do
the only brands/people gm seems to care about is chevy, cadillac and rappers
i mean you can only push that tired old trailblazer platform for so long until it becomes outdated and old

 

made a profit, where you gettin that info?
