Well after watching the programme on DVD I have to say the programme was extremely biased towards Ford and the USA.
No mention of the fact that the original GT was designed and built in England, not that it really matters. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
No mention of in the imput from Ricardo for the gearbox etc. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
No mention of the 1969 Le Mans win. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
I do like the new GT, seems to have grown on me a little.
However the way that the Ford engineers gloat about beating a bog standard Ferrari 360 around the various tracks!? They have grossly underestimated Ferrari. By the time the Ford GT is available in Europe we will be seeing the first of the new Ferrari 450. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif This, the new 360 replacement, will quite proably be an enourmously capable car - one which could possibly out handle a Ford GT.
We all know that Ford claim the GT will be made in limited numberrs, but why the big deal about beating a standard 360. Why not take on an F40?F50? or Enzo?
Perplexed,
J.P
