It's also nice to see that a retro statement of a car is not only factory fast but can be tuned to insane degrees.]]>Nov 21st 2007 8:39PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/21/video-twin-turbo-ford-gt-tops-222-mph-in-the-standing-mile/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/21/video-twin-turbo-ford-gt-tops-222-mph-in-the-standing-mile/
However, and I didn't want to mention this, but I hope those foolish commenters who inevitably come in here and say things like "omg buggati u r pwned lolz!!11one" won't do so this time.

The third run is evidence of why such a thing cannot be said.]]>Nov 21st 2007 8:54PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/21/video-twin-turbo-ford-gt-tops-222-mph-in-the-standing-mile/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/21/video-twin-turbo-ford-gt-tops-222-mph-in-the-standing-mile/Nov 21st 2007 9:15PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/21/video-twin-turbo-ford-gt-tops-222-mph-in-the-standing-mile/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/21/video-twin-turbo-ford-gt-tops-222-mph-in-the-standing-mile/Nov 21st 2007 9:15PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/21/video-twin-turbo-ford-gt-tops-222-mph-in-the-standing-mile/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/21/video-twin-turbo-ford-gt-tops-222-mph-in-the-standing-mile/Nov 21st 2007 9:24PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/21/video-twin-turbo-ford-gt-tops-222-mph-in-the-standing-mile/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/21/video-twin-turbo-ford-gt-tops-222-mph-in-the-standing-mile/

and what did it take, 1000 hp or more to push that wedge up to 220?

Put that engine in something that's even moderately aerodynamic with all-wheel-drive under 2600 pounds, and you'll get 240 mph or 250 miles per out of it in the mile.

I can't wait till somebody hops up a Nissan GT-R production car, and they go faster with 650 hp, without endangering the life of the driver and almost wrecking the vehicle.

It's amazing, what a tremendous drag (literally and figuratively) the Ford Motor Company logo has become to the achievement of genuine performance these days.

Honestly, are you that out there that you cannot tell the difference between a Ford GT and a GT Mustang?

I shudder to think what other great confusions you make in life.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but this was not a Mustang. It was the Ford GT. But I get your point.

Your condesending remarks and your extreme bias displays your ignorance after the "hopped up Mustang" comment. A Ford GT is twice the car of a Nissan GT-R and would carve it to shreds with a capable driver behind the wheel. It is a true icon and a work of art with a blood line any Nissan would dream of.

How was the drivers well being at risk and how would the GT-R solve that?

Just ANOTHER hater.]]>Nov 21st 2007 10:45PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/21/video-twin-turbo-ford-gt-tops-222-mph-in-the-standing-mile/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/21/video-twin-turbo-ford-gt-tops-222-mph-in-the-standing-mile/Nov 21st 2007 10:49PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/21/video-twin-turbo-ford-gt-tops-222-mph-in-the-standing-mile/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/21/video-twin-turbo-ford-gt-tops-222-mph-in-the-standing-mile/While you're at it, lookup Detomaso Pantera, another Ford Powered "supercar" from the muscle-car era.]]>Nov 21st 2007 11:42PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/21/video-twin-turbo-ford-gt-tops-222-mph-in-the-standing-mile/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/21/video-twin-turbo-ford-gt-tops-222-mph-in-the-standing-mile/
Where exactly did your ploy come in here and exactly how did it work?

I am fairly sure, just giving the two cars a back of the napkin engineering look over, that the Ford GT is probably lighter and has a lower cd value. I am not going to come out and say the factory chassis can sustain a higher lateral force load but the specifics of the designs do indicate that the GT should be capable of it.

As for standing miles times and speeds, the name of the game is purpose built engineering and I highly doubt you could place this GT-1000 next to a GTR and expect a close finish at the other end.

So if you don't mind, others here were interested in how best to blow money. And besides, your boss called; said something about the bridge and some goats so get back to it.]]>Nov 21st 2007 11:52PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/21/video-twin-turbo-ford-gt-tops-222-mph-in-the-standing-mile/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/21/video-twin-turbo-ford-gt-tops-222-mph-in-the-standing-mile/
Please enlighten us to that one please. When you do, please tell us how an AWD car reacts to over 1,000 HP. If you think that it won't wheel spin and require driving talent, you're sadly mistaken.

For the love of God already, please stop bashing soley based on country of origin and give us some rational thought as to why you have to hate on things you don't really understand. Also, please take an AWD car to a track someday and try talking your smack to some of us racing Mustangs, Corvettes, Porsches, etc and when you get smacked down, tell us again how AWD made you such a hero.]]>Nov 22nd 2007 1:39AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/21/video-twin-turbo-ford-gt-tops-222-mph-in-the-standing-mile/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/21/video-twin-turbo-ford-gt-tops-222-mph-in-the-standing-mile/Nov 22nd 2007 8:29PM
