And I do really like the GT.

Or the live rear axle...jetsetter said:I am just waiting for someone to complain about the interior.
Well you can see the cheap shiny plastic with the sun reflecting off it on this pic.jetsetter said:http://img156.imageshack.**/img156/7665/galleryexternalimage046oi.jpg

No, the car is built for drag racing, nothing else. What I want to know is what has ford got that's putting 500 bhp? I know the supercharged 5.4 in the GT has 550, but that's hand built and I don't see them hand build engines for a car under $50K. Maybe they nicked one of the V10's from their pickups.BlaRo said:Or the live rear axle...jetsetter said:I am just waiting for someone to complain about the interior.
I know, I was kidding anyway. Just a prelude to a flamewar...Raven18940 said:No, the car is built for drag racing, nothing else. What I want to know is what has ford got that's putting 500 bhp?

I'd be more interested in the GT350, if it ever gets made. If they follow the originals, that'll be built to corner.
5.4 liters is not a massive truck engine, 8 liters is massive. Small correction, I believe the SOHC heads now have 3 valves per cylinder.BlaRo said:The GT500 gets 500hp from the same supercharged DOHC 5.4 liter Triton V8 that's found in the F-150 Lightning (except that's a SOHC 2-valve), and the GT as well. Difference is, the GT produces 550hp using a different type of supercharger (Lysom twin-screw) while the GT500 uses a Roots-type.
So it's got a massive truck engine, cheap interior, and a wood cart suspension. Our European friends are going to have a field day with this.
