OMG, I just watched the video again and nearly passed out. I was panting when he said "Let's give it some stick"

I put it in Download Accelerator and and was getting 200KB/sec

Then again, I waited til I finished downloading before I posted the link so that my speeds wouldn't be affected by the leeches here on AT 😀

NFS4 thinking as always about himself 😱 😀

I've heard a few Modenas accelerate. I've had a Ferrari 550 pass me, and that sounded awesome. I've heard an Enzo accelerate in front of the Ferrari factory in Maranello. Nothing beats the rhaspy, spine-tingling sound of a Ferrari.

Kudos to Ford for putting together a half-way decent car for a change.
 
I wanna see some comparos with the GT... NOW!!! 😀
It prolly would annhilate street Modenas on a track...

Personally I like the soprano screech of the Carrera GT... reminds me of a F1 car... yum! But I also love symphony of properly boosted 4G63T... sounds like a friggin jet fighter with the combo of a big turbo's insane induction noise and roar of an O2 dump and exhaust.

Yup. Definitely hall of fame material right there. Tiff is an automotive GOD!
 
Sure it's nice, but it only gets 12MPG. How am I supposed to pay for gas when I use this as my commuter car

Pfff, big whoop, I could buy a Hennessey Viper that'd out accelerate that thing for like 1/10 the price

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight, and it would NEVER outhandle the McLaren F1. The Hennessey Viper is good for straight line launches on drag tires, but take it to the track and watch the McLaren rip it a new a$$hole. They don't call the MF1 the greatest car built EVER for nothin'
 
that....video....is.......DOPE. I'm lost for words.... I WANT ONE..... NOW! YOU HEARD ATOT, SPONSER ME A F1!

Pure power, elegancy, etc.
 
Can't argue with the performance. My only quibbles are with the "retro" design touches.

  1. 1) The white racing stripes down the hood and side skirts have to go. Pic
  1. 2) The side air intakes just before the rear fenders appear tacked on. They don't flow with the bodywork at all. Pic
  1. 3) I hate the rear bumper. Damn federal regulations made them to ruin the sharp design of the rear.:frown: Pic1 Pic2
  1. 4) Not enough sheet metal under the taillights. The rear should be stretched down more toward the exhaust pipes. Pic
  1. 5) The smoke color headlights do not work with some of the body colors. I think it would look better in aluminum or chrome. Pic
  1. 6) Looks awesome, but I imagine the metal shift knob would start getting slippery if your hands are sweaty. Pic
 
The sad part is by the time I've made my millions, I will have soooo forgotten about this car in favor of something else...

The stripes are part of the retro look and feel. Can't ditch them! Think Shelby GT350!
