Re: New Ford GT
the ford GT has always been my most favorite American car, it was a true RACE CAR. Nowadays our regulations and restrictions are getting very high and more and more things are being regulated. Now fuel consumption has always been one of these things since i started watching racing, and a big supercharged V8 is anything but close to a fuel efficient engine. However a V6 turbo is, and if you think Ford did that on accident then id say your wrong. This engine out of the box weighs less, produces more power and is way more efficient. Now think of how that can play a role when they decide to put this into races? They will be able to make up more ground due to less time in the pits, have faster times due to the car weighing less then its counter part and lets face it, it sounds so much better. Even when it was a V8 I wasnt impressed with the sound it made until Hefner decided to twin turbo it.
Yes its a shame its not Merica and V8 powered, but look at it from all the other benifits it has. This was originally a RACE CAR I feel ford is just trying to keep it within regulations and Still try to excite people. Plus now for can officially say they have the best sounding V6 ever produced haha.
