Default OMG, Ford GT will go 9.4 at 170

I just fell out of my chair...FORD announced some hard numbers on the GT.

720 HP
2550 Lbs
1/4 mile 9.4 at 170

OMG

[SIZE="5"]170[/SIZE]

Forget a Roll bar....the thing needs a parachute per NHRA...

Oh ya..the price is now 599,000.

All bow to the FORD GT!!!

Hahahaha...I recall someone saying on here that the FordGT street version will be getting its *** spanked because of V6...lol.

Edit: Post a source on this because I'm not seeing these numbers upon some search. Though I did find the FordGT will have a "race mode" like the P1...drops ride height, changes a bunch of parameters. Ford is just COMIN.... America's first real deal tech supercar.

I've only found one source of all these numbers, and they don't seem to be anything more than speculation for site hits and pinterest pins. Until there are more confirmations of these figures, I think it's pretty much bs. The car will be fast, but that's way beyond LaFerrari fast. That would be incredible but....we'll see as the facts come out.

LMFAO at thinking that is anywhere near accurate and it is likely a PS'd image. 170 mph

With that kind of MPH, I would be an angry owner if all I could get was a 9.4 second e.t. I would expect to be running low eights with a 170 MPH trap speed.

I'm 90% sure those numbers are completely made up. Unless Ford announces them, they're

I follow Ford on multiple social media and they didn't announce anything. I'm also sure the car is still $400k, weights somewhere near 2800-2900 lbs. and makes 630 (?) hp.

THIS. Or as Yogi Berra would say. "I'll believe it when I believe it".

I thought the price was a mere $400K. Either way, put $300K into a Z06 and you could probably put up similar numbers, make the car literally fly such that the FAA requires registration, and buy a house in the country with the leftover cash........

A 2700 lb. car that runs 170 mph in the quarter mile would require approximately 1,100 HP. ET at that weight and horsepower would be approximately 7.80-7.90. Let's see a video or time slip.

600K for a Ford?

I'll skip that one.

For that much scratch, it'd better be Italian.

If the car weighs 2900lbs and has 600-650hp I'd expect a close comparison to the maclaren 650s or 670. This the Ford GT will likely run mid to low 10's. Hard to tell until we know exact weight and hp figures. Getting into the 9's takes a lot of power...just look at the 918, P1 etc...
