I'll look around a little. It's going to go for about $150,000 and will exceed 200mph. It hits about 100mph in 3rd gear and has a 6 speed manual. The only test I've seen so far is in the smaller test engine, not the final production big boy. In the early tests, 0 to 60 in less than 3.5 seconds.

Which one you like more? WAIT! It's only one car?!?!

Thats some pretty nice specs for a Ford. And that pic is really creative. LOL

OMG, it looks sooo much better up close

woot! gonna love this thread!

This is only the start.

I hate to burst your bubble on the fastest production car... but I think I mentioned this once before a while back on another thread. So far it is the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 --- Yup, thats right... 16 cyclinder with quad-turbo madness.



It's a German car... with these specifics:
Drivetrain
Engine 72º W16
Engine location Mid, longitudinally mounted
Displacement 7.993 liter / 487.8 cu in
Valvetrain 4 valves/cylinder, DOHC
Fuel feed Fuel injection
Aspiration Quad Turbos
Gearbox 7 Speed Sequential w/ 8 overdrive
Drive All wheel drive

Performance figures
Power 1001 hp / 746.7 kW @ 6000 rpm
BHP/Liter 125.2
Torque 1250 Nm / 922.0 ft lbs @ 2200-5500 rpm
Power to weight ratio 0.53 bhp/kg
Top Speed <exact still unknown> 252.3 mph - 259.4 mph

Although, the fastest American (non-production & non-street legal) car is the Dodge Viper GTS-R for 2005. I don't remember the specifics... but I'm guessing they are really doing a major upgrade for next year's races against that dang Ford GT thats posted above. That should be an interesting race.

Then, there's my car... (which looks like sissy-crap compared to all these masterpieces lol). This is my 97' Formula Firebird. It was my highschool dream car... for the time being. Unfortunatey, I live in California now and my car is sitting in my mom's garage in New Hampshire. And I really need to sell it because it's not doing any good just sitting there. The most I get to drive it is something like once in every 3 months (if I'm lucky). So, if any of you have a good method in how I could best sell my car (over x-country)... then that would be very appreciated.


Yup, thats me... from a while back.
