Geiger Ford GT 1/8 mile drag with 711 HP

[@Sierra688]

Greatest American supercar ever built.

[@nirmalkumarc.m7923]

After 14 years youtube recommend this video

[@HypnoticSuggestion]

You guys are nuts! I love those wheels, just ordered a set from Italy. I just picked up a black '06 Ford GT, with the white stripes. I sold my terminator cobra, my 5.0 drag car, and won a lawsuit, otherwise i'd never have afforded one of these. These cars are amazing. Not only will mine look like the Geiger, but I'm getting the same blower ugrade he has, but different exhaust, and a custom tune. Doubt I'll get 711hp, I want a modest tune. I can't believe you guys don't like the wheels.

[@Satansbraten01]

This car was driven by Karl Geiger himself. It was during a Corvette and US-Car meeting in Munich and that was several months before official Presentation. Somehow i guess Mr. Geiger wanted to test it because at that time i could not see any information that this is the Geiger tuned version. I thougt it would be a stock version.

[@sicboi80]

I think I just wet myself... That sounds amazing with my surround sound turned up. Beautiful car.

[@Satansbraten01]

It is hard to argue or discuss about the like or hate of something and it doeesn't change his opinion about it. In my opinion these wheels are unusual but fit this car extremely well! They look gorgeous on this GT!

[@fitz207]

@theledal .... Geiger modified the GT in Germany. But the Gt and it's engine is built by Ford in the USA.

[@ekgenc1257]

Das ist mit einem Wort ein: Monster

[@TheStig000]

Ford is so awesome for making this...

[@Satansbraten01]

Yes, the look of the GT is more spectacular, but the price is too!! The best value nowadays ist the Z06! And you can use it for all da

[@Emil-yd1ge]

lol that´s exactly the same Ford GT Malmedie drove for GRIP- Das Motormagazin :D.

[@Satansbraten01]

Jepp, but Grip was a lot later (2 years?)

[@stiqman]

the wheels are beautiful on this GT who makes them?

[@niggel99]

very professional handled organisation! i truely love not only the close tress to the racetrack!!! but the best are the kidds and all the viewers in the safetybrakearea at the end of tracks!!! hmmmmm let me think again? wasnt there a reason while quartermileraces where held at very wide and spacy openareas like old airports? ;-).......the car is nice and ive been grwon up next to Geiger in Munich i can tell:Yes! this guys make good cars!

[@etb4u]

Those people at the finish line are nuts! Are they as close to it as they look? What if the brakes failed?

[@104th_Fallen]

the ford gt and the corvette ZR-1 are the two finest vehicles america has ever produced...the ZR-1 has the benefit of being a few years newer....both are forces to be rekoned with...and if the gt driver puts like 2000-3000 into his ride, it could deffinately hang with the ZR-1 very well...personaly i love them both...

[@TRAXEL47]

I'm not a big Ford fan, but I really like this car!

[@shur67]

could you tell me the name of the song at the begining of the video? please

[@jorgeobrien9409]

hello friend a question still made gt40

[@250honda]

so this will run the eighth mile in two gears? what did it hit like 80..90?

[@Satansbraten01]

I am not sure, but that part may be from a group named "Aural Planet" out of the "Acoustic Plantation Releases" Album. That CD was hard to get...

[@suprememachinez]

Is there much of a difference between the 05 and 06 ?

[@fordgtguy]

The Ford GT(stock) went 211.89 at the Nardo test track and is known for hovering around the mid to low 11s in the 1/4 mile. The heffner Ford GT with about 900 to the wheels accomplished 222 mph in less then a mile while the stock Ford GT takes about 3 miles to reach 200 and the Enzo also takes 3 miles to reach 200.

[@DaTwinkie405]

Did he even make it out of second?

[@fordgtguy]

It uses a similar size block to the Lightning but has different bore x stroke and other subtle differences. Although a huge difference is that fact that the Lightning engine is an Iron block while the Ford GT uses an Aluminum block.

[@liverpool1691]

The exhaust sounds awesome!

[@ReAlxTiMe]

The Ford Gt is the reinvention of the GT40 of old is all I was saying...making the Ford GT a part of Fords rich racing history back in the 60's.

[@MaxLitz]

Whats the music?

[@MasterHasbar25]

how much is the geiger gt vs standard?

[@violet2048]

Makes you drule and get goosebumps all at the same time.

[@PapaJoJ]

hell yeah man.this ford needs a full fucking mile. props to the driver and the tires for the awesome take offs as well

[@Satansbraten01]

It was a JVC, but I do not exactly remember wich model (D200? D250?? or something like that) - sorry Now I use a Sony SR11 (HD)...

[@Satansbraten01]

you're welcome! But they are pretty expensive too: The silver parts are Steel-Inlays and the black parts are powder coatings and not a regular paint...

[@YouTubeCommentator.]

Why would you zoom?

[@oxcide101]

What a sick looking beast!

[@jakeditz50]

do you have either?

[@fitz207]

pmrboy369...Thank you for pointing out the facts. These GM trolls are amazing. Ford has always ran close to GM in real world performance. Even with a smaller motor it's very close. Plus the GT can handle a lot more power with it's 5.4. The zr1 would require more engine mods to do that.

[@TheStig000]

I don't disrespect the Brits. I was just saying that Ford is awesome for bringing back the GT40. It's an awesome looking car.

[@Da0Real0G]

Was ist die zeit...???

[@rcpt44]

wat was the top speed?

[@usandutz]

It does look absolutely amazing. I mean the stock Ford GT is no doubt a looker, but this...

[@Satansbraten01]

Here in Germany the people, who drive a sportscar, attach big importance on the chassis and the behavior in curves. I met a couple of drivers, who tried out the Z06 and the Fort GT (both stock) and all of them assumed the Z06 to be better in curves too! Corvettes have since the C4 ZR1 good chassis and crashed the fame, that the US-cars are only good for straight driving.

[@haloaum]

nice !!! that car is a masterpiece!

[@MrNikito]

is v12 or v8??

[@Vodskibandit]

wow, lovin those wheels! looks sick. Was lucky enough to see one of the Roush GTs at the London Motorshow a few weeks ago with 720bhp, supposedly only two in the world atm, though it didn't do a drag unfortunatly

[@67stang721]

that thing looks awesome

[@Turbohayabusa100]

Coole Sache...wo war das denn?????

[@userisonline]

it's a great car rly nice one. i even watched about it on explorer channel but they didn't mention the price.. so anyone have an idea how much this dream costs?

[@kextrz]

Close to a million bucks I guess.

[@throughmyeyes9940]

new clutch please

[@HypnoticSuggestion]

Same engine from the 2003/2004 Ford Mustang Cobra, Shelby GT500, and Ford Lightning truck. Difference is, it's a little larger, 331ci 5.4, versus 281ci 4.6 in the others. It uses the throttle body from the lightning, two of them actually. They simply used a smaller pulley, modified ECU to change spark maps, exhaust, and dual air intake system. The car is very detuned. Go to any dyno shop and tune the car to over 700HP, base HP is 550. Add racing exhaust & custom intercooler and easy 850+HP.

[@fitz207]

@theledal ..... That's not correct. The GT40 was built in Britain in the 1960's, but the 40's engine and many of it's drive train components were designed by Americans. Look it up. The car in this video is the Ford GT. It is hand built in the USA all the down to the engine. Just remember the GT40 and the Ford GT are 2 different cars.

[@fordman32508]

That looks real safe, with all the people and trees lining the track and the run-out at the end. Car looks and sounds damn good, wheels are a bit much though.

[@Satansbraten01]

Yes, i like them too. Geiger is a Tuner here in Munich, but i do not know, where he gets them... sorry

[@Satansbraten01]

Yes, this GT is a real beauty! The wheels are EtaBeta Jofiel X-Black

[@Borstei93]

lamborghini , ferrari , porsche , usw alles schöne autos aber der ford gt sieht geil aus und der sound ist der hammer !!

[@K1ll3rM4st3r]

i love this car but i like the older one as well

[@violet2048]

If we're talking money and go power. The '65 Shelby Cobra 427 ate Corvettes for snacks. They handled better they were race ready off the lot and you didn't have to season them for 500 miles like you did the Corvettes of the same era. And that was one awesome body style, no luxury, just hang on.

[@stiqman]

wow this discussion wont die. its been over a month! yeah the late 60's vettes were beautiful but the shelby's were specialty cars. going up against stock vettes. mustangs were never in the same class as vettes. even now you gotta be in a gt500 to keep up with a stock c6. were those early stingrays IRS? cause i find it hard to belive a stang out handled anyone with that solid rear axle.

[@nitroex4767]

Henry Ford would have loved to have seen this happen in Germany 🇩🇪👍

[@nikolaben]

awesome machine...it sounds awesome

[@Texarmageddon]

The gt40 was made in the 60's it shut down the old ferraris, but i dont know about the history of the ford gt. I have no complete clue what it has done and its really hard to find out.

[@stiqman]

I love the stang... i own an 05, but in the GT circuit and in international competition that compuware vette is the greatest car. the c5 was a multi champion and their c6 is winning too. i dont think ive ever seen that ford racing cobra win anything...

[@beetrooot1137]

looks all about cars but the FORD GT is impressive sound !

[@Pastevin242]

Ford GT is in my top 5 of sexiest cars ever.

[@LuziferX2007]

i dont know rly but i read somewhere the ford gt´s price is about 500k or more

[@HypnoticSuggestion]

Man those wheels are very rare, small company, hell I don't even know if they're custom made, or if they actually sell them, anyone know? I have the name of the company written down but I can't find it, I looked it up a while back, the first time I saw this video. Anyways, those wheels on that car is about teh best match I've ever seen, perfect really, as perfect as the flat spoke 5 star wheels audi uses, sooo sweet, and those tires, man oh man. I Love these GT's, and the GTX1, FORD 4EVER.

[@hops152688]

saw one at our hotel in dallas. it looks even better in first person.

[@09erf8330]

i think this was the car that the koenigsegg ccx was going to race!!?? i'm not sure

[@Satansbraten01]

These Rims are not from Porsche! They are from manufacturer EtaBeta model "Jofiel XBlack"

[@SammyJ21]

Those rims are RANK!!! But only two gears to go that far! I want it

[@radio187]

That is an awesome car.

[@Satansbraten01]

@N0izEmak3r Das sind aber eta beta jofiel x black ... mir gefällt die Sichelform besser als bei den tettsut

[@ZR1Terror]

Damn, my 3 dream cars are ZR1, Porshe GT2, and Ford GT!!! This GT is evil!!!

[@jamn83]

i dont care what anybody says that is a really fast car and not most cars can beat a ford GT..

[@muscle1983]

@ djkaseone: that's exactly the difference between Europe and the USA: while in America you see everywhere caution and warning signs like "caution: fire is hot" or "warning water is wet", in Europe nobody warns you from danger even if they aren't recognizable easily. But there are not more accidents in Europe than in the USA.

[@thumpetto007]

Well hopefully, isn't it much more expensive?

[@RaVeN1K]

i love this car >.>

[@Satansbraten01]

Why? It ist powerful, fast, a lot cheaper and daily use is possible!

[@FranciscoNivaldoMarques]

spectacular car

[@MLZaccaroCT]

that makes it even better

[@smartc1989]

I don't understand why anyone would want a lamborghini when you could have one of these

[@steveinbelgium]

Why Not? I run my computer thru my home stereo and it sounds great. 15" woofers can do those V-8's alot of justice!

[@Ptowner14]

i had an internship by GeigerCars for one week and it was fantastic and I was allowed to sit in this car(s). But watch my other videos, because they are very cool and you can see there the Ford Gt, or Corvettes, Hummers... Greetings...

[@zenithomega19]

i rode in a lambo murcielago once... ...after the ride I asked for a "towel"... it ROCKED

[@zueq]

now this was...BADASS

[@nl001]

lol there are trees everywhere! thats insane!

[@rickmarcus]

that has to be the sexyiest car iv ever seen and heard

[@mailosagogn]

super geiles auto,mega sound

[@Satansbraten01]

Well, as far as I know about tire physics, is the best acceleration you can achive with 10-15% slip!

[@Satansbraten01]

Hm... I guess you are not informed right. A stock GT does not hit 211 mph and 11.2 seems too fast to me. Don't mix it up with the different versions. The Geiger GT did the 1/4 in 10.87 on a not good prepared track and yes, the 211 mph or 340km/h are electronically limited because of the tires!

[@Satansbraten01]

Some people are jealous and then like to talk things down... *laugh*

[@Satansbraten01]

No, the GT did 205 mph! Google for it and you will get plenty of links. Where is the official 11.3 time? I cant find one! Nearly all the pages with official racing-times claim a time between 11.8 and 12.2 for the GT.

[@havok4]

im not sure what your trying to say. but its still a sports car.

[@Satansbraten01]

You started to compare, and you wrote, that this car is no Porsche-killer! It always is not fair to compare cars, because they are built for different purposes or intents/ambitions. Well, if Corvettes are crap, what are Porsches, which have a worse driving Performance than the Z06 or the ZR1?

[@ReAlxTiMe]

I think the people that bought this car are rich racers/ car enthuasist. People that buy the Ford GT do so because of what it is...the re-creation of the legendary Ford GT40 that shut Enzo Ferrari and other competetors on the F1 circuit for 4 years! I think people want a piece of Fords racing heritage. That being said, who would not race or mod a car that was designed to go blazing fast in twisties or the straights. Not to mention the incredible potential that 5.4 has with the Ford GT!

[@fitz207]

@theledal .. No problem. : )

[@cookiehead2]

I'd be suprised if the Z06 could totally outdo a modern Ford GT. Perhaps in a straight line, but in curves I would expect the GT to pull ahead. In my opinion, the GT is the pinnicle of American production supercars, except for maybe the Saleen S7.

[@djkaseone]

you'd be amazed how far a car can go when it wrecks at 100+mph

[@HypnoticSuggestion]

Taste, I don't get it, maybe it went over my head... What ya mean? I admit the wheels are strange, but they're very high quality, very light weight, and the perfect shape and size for a Ford GT, and so I ordered them. And honestly I don't really care what anyone thinks about the wheels, my GT will almost never see the light of day, except bi-annually when I race it at Nazareth Raceway.

[@yaroukh]

One badass car, the sound of evil. 8) I would take Ford GT over any other car in the world.

[@simaojrcosta]

that's a dangerous track, trees everywhere
