Ok, the GT compares very well with the Enzo and Carrera GT...

[QUOTE="Vic, post: 1682083, member: 17936"] One more reason why I favor the Ford GT is that it is all-American. IT makes me proud to live here and wave the flag. I don't care if an Italian car is faster, I still won't buy one, nor a German car. Not bashing those cars, they are really great designs, great engineering, and all that, but I like to be proud of my country, and the Ford GT gives me that opportunity. Just for the record, I also like Corvettes and Mustangs. Gonna get the new Mustang Cobra (if and when it comes out) for a daily driver. Love the way it looks! rphinney, relax! Do you race many Vipers out in Bakersfield? Do you race on the street, or on track? Last time I went out, I was at WillowSprings, chasing a 2002 ZO6 on Hoosiers. I was on hard old street tires. We were both doing 1:36 laps, which seems to be my plateau there for now, until I dump some more money into tires and brakes. Stock Vipers attain 1:30 with the right driver.
