Concept? That's a production car, already on the streets. The 2005 Ford GT. |

ford GT
assembled - Wixom Assembly plant - SVT special vehicles building
production run - 1500 units
it makes me cream my pants every time i see one
ill post some pics when i get my scanner working but i spent a day at wixom assembly at the beginnign of hte summer when they were just starting the production runs, and i have a pic of me standing in front of a row of the first 20 built.
i have a 1964 ford pickup at my unlces farm that is still runing. and never breaks down. so yes american cars are dependable reliable and fast. |

I dunno much about cars but i thought the bugatti veyron was the fastest car in the world now or hasnt it been released yet... cant imagine a car topping these stats
# A W-16 engine that can produce 1,001 horsepower
# A top speed of 250+ mph (400+ kph)
# A zero-to-60 time of three seconds
# A zero-to-180 time of 14 seconds
# A price tag somewhere in the $1 million range.

they still havent delivered any to the consumers. they had a problem with the aerodynamics, because its pretty unstable at those speeds. So they are testing models with a wing, but then that drops it below the speed record...so they arent actually finished yet.
colonelcrisp: i dont understand why the Enzo is now not a production car. Yes you have to have previously owned 2 ferrari's to get your hands on one, but that doesnt mean its not open to the general public. You can go get yourself two ferrari's and then buy one(used now).
i think we really do differ when it comes to what we think a production car. And as for the Mclaren, what do you say about its racing past...it used to compete against the Porsche 911 GT1, Mercedes CLK GTR, and the like... |

haha...it only takes 600bhp to get up to 200+mph, but it takes 105,000hp to get up to 700+mph! stupid exponentially increasing drag! lol |

VAG can't get the Veyron to work properly. I saw this on a British car website a few months back, it outlines the Veyron's problems perfectly.

too bad the ford gt has had so many recalls already.
i know very well how diff engines work however its ghey to get into a pissing match as to what was used to get xx time or xx mph. |
