No. Everyone (or near as makes no difference) in Europe drives small economic people carriers. Everyone here is a lot more concerned with fuel economy than hp.

So? It is still made in the UK. Why do you think Ford chose those parts?

Most of the stuff you listed for the GT is from a FORD owned company.

Pease don't quote Milo. That's just uncalled for.

Your spelling is not all that either. And unlike me I suspect English is your first language.

Bet it's not.

Its picked out of the ford parts bin.

Just because its in an Aston Martin doesn't mean it wont fit in some other FORD car.

By your logic that Chrysler 300SRT is European. Mercedes owns Chrysler.

It's a fallacy.

Ownership and nationality are two different matters. Even if Jaguar is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford, Jaguar is still a British company with all its assets in the UK and British workers.

Ah there you see … we DO agree. The Ford GT is made from mostly European parts … owned by Ford of course.

Ahhh I see we poor Americans only use euro parts.

And you Euros would never use inferior american designed parts.

Ohh like ford steering racks in Aston Martins
An upgraded 1991 ford mod motor in a JAG.

Keep sipping.

Edit : I remember reading about that motor development in mid to late 80s in Mustang mags.


Edit 2:  fixed for viking
