Ford confirms that the engine installed is a V-10, as in the 605-hp Cobra concept. At that concept's introduction, Ford execs said that 700 hp for the V-10 was a distinct possibility, given more Shelby-fication
I like it :) Looks really cool :cool: :thumbup:

Nice. After Ford really did it with the Ford GT, I believe what they say from now on.
lexusondubs 08-14-04, 12:06 AM very nice :thumbup:
videcormeum 08-14-04, 01:03 AM It's got a big badonka-donk ...
But, uh ... Chevy called ... they want the Corvette's profile & design cues back ...
:thumbup: I'd drive it :D

Great looking car, I hope it sees production.
dagr8tsthustla 08-14-04, 10:00 AM Don't like it....Looks like and Aston Martin...they need to kkep it like the one in Gone in 60 Seconds!!! Now that's a Stang!!!!http://www.carmemories.com/images/dbimages/3928.jpg
Speaking of the Ford GT, the latest issue of Makes and Models reports the test drivers have achieved 205 mph. Isn't that quite a feat for 550 hp. The car must be awfully light.
I like the look of this new concept but looks like it will be competing against it's own family.
Captain Bone 08-14-04, 02:44 PM Looks really really good.
I'm a big fan of the design but doubt I could ever see myself driving that.

Yup. Provided it goes into production, and I had that kind of money to spend on a car, I would certainly not buy a domestic...

Yes, it definitely has the vibe of the Aston Martin AMV8...

But I'd say it looks more like the old Daytona Coupe (http://www.vsrnonline.com/Photos/CobraDaytonaCoupe/CSX2299/CSX2299-1.jpg) :) (56k warning: Large Pic)

Weight is a small factor at those speeds. Air resistance against the Ford GT is probably low.
I think the GT2 can do 200 w/100 less hp and a huge wing. Actually 205mph sounds somewhat conservative to me.
sweetsc400 08-16-04, 01:28 AM Yeah it kinda looks Brock Yate's Superformance rendition of the Daytona Coupe. I like it! Performance and heritage. . .
VSsc400 08-16-04, 12:27 PM i guess for them the only way to go forward is to go backwards. I still like it!:thumbup:
SoCalSC4 08-17-04, 01:52 PM The rear is definitely reminiscent of the original Cobra Coupe... the front fenders remind me of the Aston Martin Vanquish.
Who is designing wheels these days? Those belong on an Explorer, not a sports car! Yech!
:egads:

CleanSC 08-17-04, 02:08 PM Like so:
Technics 08-17-04, 09:51 PM This car needs to make production
good lookin car, i'd definately drive it.
It looks like the car from that one show back in the mid to late 90's. i forgot what its called but the underground cop guy drives a viper and when the bad guys give him lip, he presses the button and his red viper transforms into a silver viper with tricks out the anus. It fires missles, has a built in wench, it's got all kinds of neat tricks. The plot and the storyline of the show was decent, i always watched it as a kid because the car was FILTHY. any body know what im talking about?

LexusLuver 08-17-04, 11:49 PM I bet the car is based on some Aston Marton(sp).

yeah, I remember that show. I was not impressed but I watched sometimes just to see what crazy thing the car would do.
