[QUOTE="Tob, post: 16307725, member: 83412"] Production numbers of any performance vehicle aren't a metric by which I choose to appreciate well done engineering and execution. But I will say this - GM has done a far better job in terms of making this type of performance available than Ford has. [i]Way[/i] better. The Ford GT is indeed a work of art. Sadly, most here and everywhere else in the world will never get the opportunity to drive and own one. GM isn't playing that game, thankfully. And I do care what propels either of these two. For me, I get the corporate decision to use a V6 in the GT and it makes sense given Ford's goals with the car. That said, I cringe and usually look away when the car goes by on the track. Here's one at Road Atlanta last week. They sound like ass. Brace yourselves... [MEDIA=youtube]3IqbCeCX3XY[/MEDIA] I had footage of the Corvettes (in the same class) as they passed by also. ****ing ear shattering and in a good way. Every time the yellow Vettes passed by you could see somebody turn and say "Holy ****!" I had every opportunity for close inspection of about a half a dozen Ford GT's while I was there. I stared at them too and if not alone was one of only a couple of people. The C8, on the other hand, had some pretty large crowds around it wherever it was.
