One drunk driver, and he's out decades of work and hundreds of thousands of dollars. It wouldn't be too surprising, though, if he detunes it off the track. That wouldn't be too hard: change the EFI mapping, run it on pump gas instead of race gas, take the nitrous bottle and logging electronics out, put mufflers and bumpers on, open the wastegates early, and so forth. It might still be a handful, though.

Camillo was my friend at the time he was doing the GT (I"ve kinda lost track of him lately). He and Sid Chiang were working on Petunia with Chelsea Lau as studio Chief (or maybe she was just a manager at the time). Both Sid and Camillo did some very aggressive and modern design proposals. J Mays didn't want to go new with it. J wanted to go retro. It's a shame that the world will never see what Sid and Camilo actually wanted to do. One earlier iteration of the retro version of the GT design had a much shorter front overhang and smaller more compact proportions overall. It still housed all the mechanicals that eventually ended up in the production car but the smaller car would have been faster and lighter. J didn't like it because it looked less impressive so they added the extra length. J sent a lot of good design work back into the clay oven.

The real secret to a high performance engine (as GM has discovered finally) is to abandon the push rod actuation of the valve train, either a Desmodromic, or chain driven DOHC layout with 4 valves per cylinder (to enable an ideal breathing cycle) gives the best results. This layout also removes the need to keep increasing the engine's capacity (and weight) by giving the ability for much higher revs. The DOHC chain driven system, precludes valve float, allowing for a smaller capacity engine to rev much higher. As demonstrated in GM's Corvette. This is hardly a secret really, it is simply that the USA has long taken a different direction, owing to the extraordinary low prices for fuel. The forced induction path is also an excellent approach, but again, with a smaller capacity engine, a higher revving unit can still deliver high torque and HP outputs.

@highbank65532 жыл бұрын
I made 1200whp through a BONE STOCK 2019 mustang GT engine/trans/diff/axles by adding twin turbos, on e85. Ford really does over engineer some of its modular V8s. I only dream of owning a Ford GT..

shit man i wish that was the case on the old 4.6L 2v, such a headache trying to make power, the internals are only good for maybe 8 lbs of boost and thats pushing your luck. all of that for maybe 500 hp

I have both a second generation (2005) and a third generation (2019) Ford GT's They are so much fun to drive, take occasionally to the track and share with the public such as car shows. You did an excellent job with this video and have honored the Ford GT and Fords performance/racing Heritage. Thank you.

Ford's biggest mistake was installing an overrated, disappointing "Ecoboost" V6 in the 2017-2020 models. They do not compare to the great Ford GT of 2004-06. That robust, intensely engineered supercharged V8 was the best thing that happened to Ford. And that is why the Ford GT from 2004-06 remains the greatest production car ever made by Ford.

@@CoyoteFTW I think it is one of the greatest small displacement engines there is. It is great to hear a v8 roar, but the Ford GT is a perfectly engineered in my opinion. Just like the 05 models, I believe the new GT has a lot of potential. A 700hp version of the new GT, which is only 40 hp more than stock, can actually beat a McLaren Sienna on the track.

Back when EA made bare bones racing games with the Need for Speed series they came out with Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit. It had an updated list of cars and tracks but also with unlockable cars via cheat codes. One such car was the Ford GT-90 mentioned in the game and was the ultimate racecar.
