Really?



What you got?

Ya'll had something (maybe) fast enough 40+ years ago, but nothing with enough sack since.

Not since the GT40.

Don't bring me something some shop or aftermarket guys put together... I want "from the factory" as in available from the dealership, or raced under the factory colors.

Oh, I just looked at your yew-t00b vids of that heinously ugly excuse for a car that they crammed 2000 horsepower into. YAWN.

First, it only goes in a straight line. big whoop. Anything can go fast in a straight line. I remember years back seeing a early '80's Chevy Chevette with a blown 502 and a tubbed rear end that ran in the low 7 second range. A lot of money and scary fast. You know what it was, though? Still a POS Chevette.

Huge difference.

Ford is not involved with any racing in the corvette's class while the corvette entrants are factory teams.

When ford does back a team, they finish 1, 2, 3 at the 24 hours of Le Mans.

In the world rally championship from 2000 to 2010, ford has won it two years in a row (2006-2007) and come in second 7 of those 11 years.

1985 IMSA GTO champion
1986 IMSA GTO champion
1988 IMSA GTO champion
1990 IMSa GTO champion

Like toyota, ford will switch focus from one series to another.

[CAP1]

and don't forget that ford's kicking chevys butt in the trans am racing.....the only chevy wins this year have come under yellow, and when the competitave fords were tossed out due to wrecks........

 oh yea....and the fords runningf that series are production cars.

 then we can go to the cobra jet mustangs.....the quickest production car built right now.

 point is, if you pull up a fast chevy, i'll find a faster ford. it's always been that way.


 we can thank hot rod and car craft magazines for todays kids thinking that chevys are the ONLTY way to go fast.

heinously ugly excuse for a car...............

Feel welcome to challenge him on the road course at Palm Beach International Raceway.

It does the road course just fine in addition to holding the current guinness world record for standing mile and the fastest officially timed standing mile ever.

It has A/C and all interior equipment in working order and is street driven.

[CAP1]

i should add.....i don't dislike chevys. it's fun to pick on you guys though. some of you get too upset way too easily. 

 ain't it something, how these threads always turn out this way? it only seems to take one ultra melon(in this case me).

The 2000 hp Mustang in CAP's vid? On a road course? 

I wasn't talking o you Icepac, I was talking to CAP. I like the Ford GT, just wish Ford hadn't bungled it up so badly....

[Reaper90]

When ford does back a team, they finish 1, 2, 3 at the 24 hours of Le Mans.

And for the 40 years since they haven't done squat in international sports car racing.


And CAP, you're saying you'd take a "straight from the dealership floor" cobrajet Mustang in a heads-up race against a ZR1?

edit- nevermind, I see it's a drag car.. 

I refer back to my comment about going fast in a straight line.  I know, ZR1 vs Cobra Jet Mustang on the 1/4 mile.... race down, turn around, and come back! 

[Tigger29]

here's where cobra drivers take their cars for sunday drives.

just remember......only little boys wear bow ties. 

Wow those iRacing graphics sure have gotten good!

Seriously though, who else got a kick out of him flying past that fart-can Civic?  BUHAHAHA

Also gear-grinding at 4:44 sounded painful...
