[QUOTE="xr7boost, post: 3177188, member: 30718"] The GT's frame is friction-stir welded, a first in the industry. Weight is something that every engineer tries to avoid but look at the exterior dimensions of the car, it's a large vehicle! They couldn't change too much or else it wouldn't look like a GT anymore. My main criticism of the GT comes from the engine choice. That bore-undersquare 5.4 wasn't the only engine tested. Before Ford cancelled the Hemi-fighter Hurricane engine, it made 605 horsepower and weighed over 100lbs less than the blown 5.4. I applaud Ford for making the GT at all, but part of me wishes the V-10 would have made it instead. [/QUOTE]
