2005 ford gt monster or not.

the 2005 ford Gt is a monster. beleive what I say it true. the enzo,viper,benz they all have no chance when it come time for tuning.

2005 FORD GT
500 hp supercharged.

just think bullet proof block.
just think 5.4 bullet proof block

fords cobra is a supercharged 289 can hold 1200 hp.stock 390hp
the ford Gt is a supercharged 330 what can it hold???stock 500hp
FORD IS NOT THE COMPANY TO RACE RIGHT NOW!!!!!

I believe Ford is using the Mustang GT-R for racing.

I honestly doubt any Ford product could hold anything 100hp higher than stock without effecting the engine in a negative way. And I honestly doubt that the Cobra can hold +1000 HP without needing serious block modifications.

here comes the ford newbs again............. :nono:

It may handle better than the viper, but in acceleration they're the same. The Mid engine Rear-Drive setup should give it very good handling. Do you even have any idea if and what series it is racing in?

I believe! I believe!



















That this thread was a bad idea

don't dis ford but the gt is not worth $150,000

Did i hear someone saying that the Ford GT is goin to have 500hp?, Sorry folks (for Ford haters that is), but the new Ford GT is gonna have 550hp (410kw), which is the reason why is has stunning acceleration times. U dont believe me? check the official website, ford's been sayin it'll have 550hp since the beginning of the year, so it shouldnt be much of a surprise to most of you people. And the stunning thing is i think ford managed to push out somethin like 620rwhp+, just comes to show what the Ford GT really is.... AN ANIMAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO FORDS!!!!

let it be known, i feel ford has released only crap from dearborn since the death of the first gen mustang and their policies have been terrible (dont agree with me, read up on the pinto and the first gen focus engine fires) but lets face facts, the ford gt is cool, it's handles, it stops, and it's fast. So, ford, props on the gt, bring the falcon xr 6 over to the u.s., give all mustangs and independent suspension and we might just forget about the whole pinto incident

I've seen all the publishings on the Ford GT because I work at a Ford Dealership. It has 550 HP,best handling, first Ford production car to use carbon fiber from the factory, and much more.

Yes it is a monster but not compared to the saleen S7 its almost like fords contridicting itself.

I think on these projects projects, both companies stayed in house. Saleen usually tunes Fords, but in the s7's case, it's all done by Saleen. Now for my question. How does a Honda fan like me who really doenst like the s7 know this?

i always laugh when these viper fan boys think their car can hang with GT. :loser:

whats funny is they always use the worste numbers they can find for the GT and the best they can find for the Viper if you do it the other way around you see that they viper gets its ass whooped even worse.

Wow, the Viper can do 0-60 in 3.3 seconds? I've never read that anywhere...


(BTW, for you slow folks, I say this because Car and Driver has taken the Ford GT to 60mph in that time, and someone said that the Ford GT and the Viper accelerates the same...)

Anyway, why would you even think about modifying the Ford GT? The Cobra is one thing, but come on, this is a $150,000 car, a collectible, anyone messes with that, I will shoot him/her myself!

Viper does 0-60 in 4.1-4.3 not 3.3 However the hennesy venom 800 twin turbo does 0-60 in 2.6 but then again its 400,000 and it has 800 probly 1000-1200 with turbos @ MAX BOOST. The ford Gt probly does it around a good 3.6 I'd think.

Ok, let me repeat myself, since you seemed to have missed it. Car and Driver magazine reviewed the Ford GT and they measured the 0-60mph time to be 3.3 seconds.

"It wasn't even a contest. The Ford GT so completely dusted off its two highly recognized competitors that if we had wanted to make this a real challenge, we would have had to go way up the "supercar" price ladder. The $401,000 Saleen S7 is about as quick as the Ford GT, and we know of only one car that would surely outrun the Ford—the $659,000 Ferrari Enzo.

Rocketing the GT to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds and to 150 in 16.9 (that's an incredible seven seconds quicker than the Porsche and the Ferrari) was a cinch."

Acceleration isnt the point!!! The article says ford hasnt even finished the topspeed testing yet. Thats really reassuring to gt owners who have 1 in their garage now. The s7 and the ferrari enzo are 3 times as good of track cars. Im sure that the noble m12 gto 3 could run the same times around the track or faster.

Thank you. See that everybody (205 mph) is the final topspeed no faster.

ugh! "During engineering testing for high-speed stability and powertrain durability at Italy's Nardo test facility, the Ford GT supercar was certified for a top speed of 205 mph." oh and thats the official top speed ive seen it listed at about 212mph before.

I hate ford I'm sick of it. They wrecked jaguar and now there destroying volvo. Thank god they havent touched aston martin yet.

just wondering how? i really like that s60r and the new s40 has gotten quite good reviews.

Those were the last models designed by volvo not by ford.

ok so how has ford ruined volvo and jag?

ok so how has ford ruined volvo and jag?

Well for starters they killed the xj class. Cosidering that all xjrs are built on a ford contour chassis. They dont have jagar in any racing programs except f1 which they plan to pull out next year! Thats only some of the facts.

"In fact, it seems they over-achieved. A couple of days earlier, this very Ford GT cracked 190mph at Nardo. And it didn't stop until it hit... 212mph. Not just once, but on three occasions, driven by three separate drivers."

Thats their pride and joy what do you expect they probly took money out of volvo and jag's budget to fund the stupid thing.

Um, I was responding to someone who said the Ford GT accelerates 0-60 in 3.7 or more seconds. What did you want me to do? Respond with something completely off-topic???

Also, before Ford acquired Jaguar, they suffered a whole great deal of mechanical problems. Also before ford acquired Volvo their cars were simply ugly as sin...

Acceleration isnt though im taking about an over great track car. Apparently there not that ugly considering volvo designed these.
Ford did not help in the production of volvo design and concept till 05+.How do I know this Because I own a Volvo 03 crosscountry which the the dealer who a volvo enthusiast and owns an s60 R told me so.

ok so im still trying to figure out what ford did to volvo if what u say is true they did nothing at all, but give them money or whatever.

"Others that aren't here simply didn't have the guts to show up. Ferrari, when invited, flatly turned us down. We asked the folks from Maranello to bring a Ferrari 360 Stradale, a Ferrari 575 Maranello or a 650-hp Enzo--or all of them. But Ferrari's press officer told us, "Ferrari will no longer participate in any comparison tests." O-kay. Wimps."

http://popularmechanics.com/automotive/new_cars_trucks/2004/5/acceleration_nation_2/print.phtml

my guess is that they are still mad about that "megastars" comparison.

Nice info thanks ferrari bunch of wimps.

Its the opposite they take more money and do nothing.

so um, where would your beloved noble m12 be without ford?
your hatred for ford is irrational and based on what could only be described as libellous comments.
you forget that above all, ford is a business.
the point of business is money.
if ford own volvo, then the money is theirs to do with however they like.

anyway.
back to the ford gt please.

Oh wow, so the guy at the dealer told you. Oh, then it's fact then, it's not like the auto salesmen would ever think about lying to you or anything...

I hate ford I'm sick of it. They wrecked jaguar and now there destroying volvo. Thank god they havent touched aston martin yet.
yeah all they do is bring back dead looks, the thunderbird, new mustang coming up, new gt... cmon they really arent creative... did you see the new f250 and f350 upgrade from 99' to 04'? all they did was change the turning signal thats all i had to do to my v10 6.8L f350 change the turning signals and its new! cmon that is pathetic... i am not a ford hater, i have 5 town cars: 00' that im using, other 00' for parts, 95' limo, 93' for random stuff, and 93' for parts, and also i got an f350... and i am not too impressed with my fords... i still like my camaros best, and im a die hard lamborghini fan and im 16 and i got all these cars... my uncles gave em to me :)

well look at whats happening to BMW, id rather get the same old same old designs then a buch of "modern" crap.

Why does everyone hate on bmw's new stuff? Lets face facts: EVERYTHING bmw makes delivers the goods and seriously, i think they look pretty good. i think it's because they've let their designers see the light of day since the 1960's unlike some of the american companies.

His original assertion is indeed correct. Most current Volvos are based off the P2 platform which debuted in 1998 as the 1999 S80. The P2 underlies most current Volvos and a few future Fords to boot.

The first Ford influenced Volvo is the P1/C1 derived 2004.5 S40 and 2005 V50. They ARE MUCH better cars than their predecessors for the effort. They share some floorpan stampings with the next generation Euro-only Focus and Mazda 3. In other words, Volvo helped develop a platform already lauded for handling characteristics and they customized their own version (believe me - the Volvo P1 is much more expensive to build and has a lot more content than it's cheaper stablemates - both fine cars in their own right.)

By and large, Ford has essentially been VERY smart with Volvo. They've left the design and development process mostly intact given Volvo's profitability. They've incorporated some of Volvo's safety components in MANY Ford products and ALL Ford vehicles now are run through Volvo's safety engineering facility in Sweden for evaluation during the development process.

Ford even had the wisdom to let Volvo pick their own path for their upcoming new line of inline engines and V8 (they could have tried to force a Jag or Lincoln V8 into the mix but didn't.) Ford and Volvo corp. cultures are so fundamentally different it's amazing how well things have gone to date. Contrast this with GM's bastardization of Saab (they're moving operations out of Sweden and into Opel in Germany; rebadging Subarus and Chevy Trailblazers and building them in North America with Saab badging; etc.) and you see how bad things could have been.

Thanks.

Yes the purest volvo is the v70 r and the S60 r all volvo enginering.

If they would have did that I would have killed them volvos are meant to be low cylinder cars 5-4 if you ask me. A v8 is way way to much weight because volvos are natraully heavy cars cause of the legendary safety.I dont think volvo is gonna put a v8 unless its in there trucks or 1 of their boats.

whoa... is that 550 hp stock? only for 150 G's? yep, thats my baby!!

Actually if you check the numbers you will find that Volvos are about the same or LIGHTER than comparable BMWs and Mercedes cars. The was officially announced earlier this week by Volvo and it looks like a really great engine. Also given it's compact dimensions and transverse mounting it's not only going to show up in the S80 as planned but it will find it's way into other products in a couple of years from what I'm hearing... ;)
