Rep Power: 23 Fatal Attraction has a spectacular aura about
1000HP Ford GT!

I'm not into "tuner" type cars, but what these guys get out of a new Ford GT

with twin turbos is absolutely AMAZING!

These guys are insane!!!

It's a 20 minute video, with lots of colorful language, but worth a peek for

anybody who's into sheer HORSEPOWER.

Re: 1000HP Ford GT!

A few reactions -
1)Any test that explores the enhancement and\or limit of a drive train is helpful for builders.
2)It would be interesting to see updates on this car in the future that include information on the life of the motor and the transmission. With a compression ratio of 8.4 to 1 and a longer stroke in the 5.4L motor, the pistons are spending more time near TDC in chambers with 19 pounds of boost. In theory, how many miles is that good for?
3)I'm sure the Ricardo tranny is bullet-proof but what is the max hp and torque rating?
4)It would be fun to watch a highly qualified driver put that twin turbo through a road race course and listen to their comments regarding throttle response and control. When unrestricted twin turbos come on with about 500 horses, it's a real gas and more than most people can handle. This car has 1000 horses - whew!
5)Thanks for the video. It was fun watching.
