    Ford GT Video!

    http://homepage.mac.com/fluffy/.Public/TopGear_GT40.wmv

    Enjoy the video, guys...

    *DISCLAIMER*: I HATE the way Detroit is portrayed by this ignorant old British fart. He comes over from half a world away, and passes judgement on it based on stereotypes Then... he also says "experts agree... the Americans have never made a car that can go around corners properly."

    With that said... the car is sweet, so is the video. Enjoy.
    Former Ride: 2002 Pontiac Trans Am WS6 - 345 rwhp, 360 rwtq... stock internally.

    Current Ride: 2006 Subaru Legacy GT Limited - spec.B #312 of 500

    I think my car handles just fine...thank you very much. Great video...awesome car. Wonder if GM will ever answer back...then again, do GM even have a car in its heritage to bring back, or will it have to be a one-up design? Oh well...yet again, Ford got GM numbered...what's new?

      Actually, the British dude is pretty funny. He could be in a four wheel drift at 100 and he still talks as if he's sitting on his sofa. The guy is ex-F1.

        You're most likely right.

          He can say whatever he wants,he CAN back up anything he says.

          He did the Konigsegg test and is an incredible driver.

              I agree. European cars are made for the hills and mountains.

              Most streets are very narrow and you need good handling to stay on the roads and you cannot afford to end up in the other lane. Better handling is also required on the Autobahns where you can floor it and believe me they were not just built straight throught the country side.

              Over here the cars are much more geared towards long distance driving with lots of comfort on straight Interstates or Highways.

              That is a general statement and there are some exceptions to the rule.

                british cars

                they should handle well since they are only going about 40 miles an hour top speed. I think my model cars have bigger motors in them then some of these british cars. ALso, I am not a contortionist (?) when it says seat four it is understood to mean seats four very uncomfortably.

                with that said, we do not really build our cars for cornering, even in nascar we usually only deal with four turns and the banked dirt track ramp. you guys in your small compacts have fun going around in circles, I'll get there by driving straight through in triple digits speeds mph not kph thank you.

                (I have not watched the video yet so I cannot comment on that.)

                lol
