[QUOTE="Big 8, post: 2646492, member: 11224"] Well I dont know how a lot of that fits in here? Comparing Gingerman to the ring? Ya I agree, buts its all we have and a car that supposedly went 7:49 The GT3 at the ring was walked on by the Ford. While I havent been to Gingerman I have been on the ring? I cant say other then they are both road courses and one is much longer. MT test against the CGT and ENZO was a fleet press car. Ringer? As they stated at the end of the articale, the car was driven to Texas by a car jocky while the enzo and CGT were boxed up for the truck ride home. Not sure why you would build a ringer for a 10,000 mile press fleet car? The F430 is close to 500 hp and is a far sharper instrument then the 360M or 360CS ever dreamed of being. Even though its within hairs, the Ford has beaten it as well. Even when you use the secret lauch modes? :shrug: The F430 was bested on the course at Willow. 1.7 miles. As you stated the F430 is way down on power its at 490HP? Thats 15 away from the Z06???? and 60 away from the Ford. Thro in a nice 3/4 mile straight and let the Ford use that extra power ( the ring) versus not allowing it too (willow) and its still came out on top. I am not atttempting to argue that one car is faster then the other. Way too many variables. The only thing I am trying to say is that the FORD gt can more then hold its own.
