I think Ford should leave the GT where it is, and move forward with a throw-back to the '65 Daytona Coupes.
No I was talking about the possible Z-28 and how it would be stupid for them to compete against the base model Vette in price and power. Although I would love to see a new Ford GT, and it might be more exspensive but the interior make's up for that IMO.
And if GM does'nt make the same mistake Ford did with the GT500(not wide enough tire's) then it would easily out run a base Vette at least in the straight's.

Ok. If you're done then.
Look back and tell me that GM has never offered a motor in the Camaro that has more HP than the base vette. Come on. These are 2 different playing fields. Go over to any vette forum and see if you can find anyone willing to trade their vette in on a new z28. Few and Far-fetched to say the least. These are 2 different markets. Vette owners are diehard vette owners. My dad is in that group and it seems no pony car will ever measure up to the supercars. And I'd say that would be a good race, though I'll put my money on the base vette winning over the z28. Still a good race.
What color is your SS?
We had an 01 Ram Air TA back in 2003 in the Sunset Orange Metallic.
Who asked you to think? j/kReally I would love to have a new GT and I would take it over a Vette any day. The Daytona is cool but it's not for me, at least that one was'nt.
The GT was a hot car, but it was too big. It needed to be smaller like the size of a Corvette C6. Despite the technological advantages that the GT had, it still couldn't hand a Z06 its ass. Tghat additional 300 lbs made a big difference.
IMO, the GT is the hottest looking domestic car of the decade, and while it was an good performer, I still think it could have been just a little bit better.
I wish Ford would have treated like the best car of the decade..... The 5.4 SC motor was plenty.....though Ford should have had a specialty motor built to compliment the Ford GT...maybe a 6.2 SC motor or something, something that only the Ford GT gets, something along the lines of the LS7..which ONLY the Zo6 gets.
I couldn't agree more...
Your right......only the F-150 SVT Lightning.....so the Ford GT has a truck motor in sense.
I also could agree, but consider when it came out, no other car was getting a supercharged 5.4
If I'm correct, it's a different blower, different internals, different heads, different tune....block may be the same but that would be about it. someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Its probably only a matter of time before the ls7 finds its way into some other gm vehicle.
now thats a fair comparison.
