Re: Lamborghini Gallardo vs. Ford GT
I think ford got it's butt in gear and was sick of everybody passing them by. When you have the resources a huge company like that has, you can manufacter a car like the GT from drawing board to reality in a short amount of time.

Re: Lamborghini Gallardo vs. Ford GT
I heard that Mr Payne. True, the Europeans have pretty much owned the exotic car segment for quite awhile, the pure performance that the GT is putting out is great in my eyes. Slapped together the GT isn't...

It comes down to the diehard fans of european supercars would hate to have to admit for one minute that Ford, GM, Chevy can build a supercar just as well and cheaper, and quicker when it's not even thier forte. It's not that hard when you can throw money into it that Ferrari and Lambo could only dream of.
As for it saying Ford... I would like nothign better than to have a GT and go smoke a guy in a 360(which it can) and then be able to look at him and say "And it's a Ford too!" Hell I'd love to if it said Chevy or Dodge!!

Re: Lamborghini Gallardo vs. Ford GT
I know it's hard to admit that a American car can beat the "super cars" at their own game but... Hey, don't hate cause you ain't.

The Ford GT on the other hand is certainly more competent than the ZO6, OK a LOT more competent. But do you honestly see the GT being cheaper than a 360 by the time the dealer sells it to you??? I certainly don't. Besides we've gotta remember that the 360 is ageing at the moment, it's in a holding pattern as the replacement is due around a similar time the GT is released (2005-2006). I'm more interested to see if Chryslers Detroit '04 Supercar concept will go into production, personally.

Re: Lamborghini Gallardo vs. Ford GT
I know this is off topic but Chevrolet should make a supercar or make an option besides the Z06 on the Corvette where the corvette much better performance and is still made by Chevrolet.

One thing I do have to ask you is: How do you know that the 360s succesor will out race the GT? Please elaborate. Tell me how is the Ferrari's 4.2 engine is better than the GTs? Leave the supercharger alone, its weak. |

Re: Lamborghini Gallardo vs. Ford GT
Hey, I'm not saying that that GT is shoddy, it really is a great car. What I said was that "relatively" it was thrown together. However, you can't deny that the Ford engineers cut some corners (the used a freackin pickup truck engine, albeit it a good one).
Again, the GT is a good car, I just prefer the Gallardo.

Re: Lamborghini Gallardo vs. Ford GT
im just saying that the 4.2L will probably outrace the gt. lets thing about statistics. most ferrari's get about 110 hp per liter. with a 4.2L engine, the ferrari will make about 460 hp. with that much hp and a n/a, the 360 (420 it might be called) would probably outrace the gt. but dont take my word for it.

Re: Lamborghini Gallardo vs. Ford GT
yeah, it is. But its derivation has to hurt not only the sound quality but also how it performs in relation to a serious road car's needs. The lightening doesn't have the same needs from an engine as the GT does, and granted the Ford made some changes to the engine, you still have to admit that it does say something about the time put into the car. But as Crayzayjay said, maybe that's a testiment to the Ford engineers.

Re: Lamborghini Gallardo vs. Ford GT
yeah your right, it doesn't sound that good. And what about the Viper's engine, that was originally a truck engine and then refined by a Lamborghini engineer, but no one talks about that anymore.
