[QUOTE="Paul Vincent, post: 494820, member: 854"] The 2004 Mercedes-Benz SLR with a curb weight of 3550 will have a 5.4 liter engine producing 600 hp and 575 lb. ft torque good for 205 mph. For this reason alone, the Ford GT must have at least 600 (rear wheel) hp and 600 (rear wheel) lb. ft. torque . Add to this that the '06 Z06 will have 500 hp, and the Viper already has 500 hp and will increase its hp to continue its power domination over the Vette, the Ford GT must not come to market with less than 600 rear wheel hp and torque. Yes, Ford will sell every GT that it makes even if it does not have my suggested hp and torque figures. But that is no reason to release the GT with insufficient power. This is especially important as the original target weight of 3,000 lb. seems almost impossible to meet. When Ford first announced the GT, its hp/tq rating of 500/500 sounded wonderful, but since then hp/tq figures have increased dramatically. Let's not have another case of should have, could have, would have..., this time around. [/QUOTE]
