I don't know how old this thing is, but I don't remember seeing it.



Ford needs to build another car on the GT's expensive architecture to offset costs. The Shelby GR-1 would be a perfect successor once the GT goes out of production in 2007. The GR-1 Concept is built from a modified version of the GT's platform. However, instead of a midengine supercharged V8, there's a normally aspirated 6.4-liter V10 with 605 hp riding up front. That should be more than enough for a production GR-1 to run an 11-second quarter-mile and blow right past the magic 200-mph mark.

This was done recently, within the last year....... this was featured on Rides not too long ago.

 

another? wtf correct me if I'm wrong but the viper has taken teh gt in teh 1/4 mile. it is tested proof.

 

12.9 for the Viper and 11.6 for the Ford GT. Sorry to say this, but the Viper loses.

Not all the time though..

Umm actually the Viper lost.....and the only test head 2 head I could find that a Viper won in....was an 04 Viper SRT-10 vs. the 05 GT.....and how the GT lost is beyond me....

It was faster at every step from 0-10 all the way to 0-100.....and lost by a .01 second......I seriously cant believe that....

If you are faster 0-10, 0-20, up to 0-100.....by an average of like .03 seconds per 10 mph...you should win hands down..

 

lol id have to say the viper does it in about 11.8 or 11.7

 

Nope the viper lost to the GT. Now given the viper is almost half the price of the GT.

 

They were showing this "Viper Killer" on Car and Driver on Spike TV a few months ago. They went of the Dalorian "no paint" look. Sharp looking car for a Ford. Dodge will meet it in the end with something faster, no doubt, like they did with the Ram SRT-10 to the Lightning.

 

Looks like Ford and Chrysler are playing from the same playbook.

 

That's a great comparison, but I doubt Ford will go all out on it like Chrysler did to make it civilzed and luxurious.
