I think this car is going to be wild ****ing car. Will it have the racing victories as past Vettes have had? I think so. They put a lot of headroom in the chassis from what I remember and the Z06 typically has a lot of the Cx-R in it for the street. Definitely sounds Flat Plane Crank.

If the C8Z outperforms the Ford GT, will it force Ford to finally offer a Coyote variant?

I wish I knew a Chevy salesman who could get me one of these the first year.

It will outperform lap times we have seen the F-gt do (not one professional instrument test) but it will have nothing to do with the motor, nor does Ford care unfortunately.

Sad. But, you never know. Jim Farley hasnt done anything to overtly suggest he's dicked up FoMoCo and he is supposedly a fan of Ford Performance. Maybe has has the balls to greenlight a V8 FGT

The thing is the V8 would only be an upgrade in the sound department. The Ford GT is just not a people's car, its a development tool.

Sure would be cool if Ford built a 2 seat sports car to actually compete with the Corvette but let's not kid ourselves. Its a very EV future :(

I don't think the Z06 will affect what Ford does or doesn't with the GT. It's a one off type car.

Corvette isn't in the same sentence as a Ford GT.
