It's going to sellout and then people are going to try and resell them for double the price in 10 years. All part of Ford's master plan.
>i ignore the failed engineering and fall for bullshit marketing
>thinking a half million dollar ford is gonna compete with porsche and ferrari, let alone a damn z06 (not even a zr1) or an acr
Fuel economy is a measure of efficiency, which is kind of the point of engineering
...
Only if your a faggot
> what is hp/tonne
> what is hp/displacement
> what is $/hp
Etc...
its already confirmed it has worse hp/tonne than a bugatti and konisegg, it has worse mpg than a viper and a bentley lol, this supposed ecofriendly supercar is a huge hype machine from ford.
ford already said it would have the best hp/tonne of all cars, already WRONG.
>ecoboost
WRONG.
I'm a snek man but who cares about the gas mileage.
Getting that gas mileage out of a 3.6l could be a sign of poor engineering overall though, or they just said fuck the gas mileage which is more likely.
>haha hey guys, fuck efficiency and engineering, you know the whole point of low displacement turbocharged engines, haha yeah guys - ford
i dont think thats how it went
>this supposed ecofriendly supercar
Wrong, they're using the engine for racing homologation.
>GM shills in preemptive damage control meltdown, more at 11
It's a race car though, is gas mileage really important for that application?
endurance racing, less pit stops.
>worse mpg and les power than an n/a v10, supercharged v8, twin turbo v8, and an n/a inline 6
>anyone in damage control but ford shills on suicide watch
stop ignoring the engineering that goes behind it all. a super light weight midengine carbon tub with maximum aero and a twin turbo v6 getting those numbers is shockingly bad
Do you guys think the next viper with be turbo or supercharged?
I'm sure you know better about race car engineering than Ford's engineers.

american cars don't have to have top tier performance, styling, handling or reliability.
They are bought because american public thinks buying anything other than american is communist.
Which is why american cars are shit.
>buying anything other than american is communist.
/civilisation
Or, just hear me out, OR it's going to sell out and not depreciate a dollar in the first 10 years. One of us is a lot closer to the truth want to guess which one?
Car is sexy as fuck and limited production.
>next viper
no
The discontinuation is obviously just so they can choose what is going to replace that old V10 on the Alfieri platform. Snek will be back by 2020.
Americans don't even buy American cars
What the fuck are you on? EcoBoost was advertised on being a very fuel economic and high output power car.
FORD GT is gonna be a flop bois.
>being this
JUST
>Fuel economy is a measure of efficiency, which is kind of the point of engineering
then literally every single american car is dogshit
amerifats BTFO once again by old continent

It's a rolling advertisement.
This
Hence the shit that comes out of the Big Three
>I buy cars for its boutique value
Nu male tier
Not really as a 450hp vette gets close to 30 on highway
Op here. Shameful display, meant flat 6
>It's a rolling advertisement
What is the Hellcat lineup
Same.
Hellcats are just the GT350 to Viper's GT.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS MORE GT VEE SIXES HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE OR CRASHED PER PRODUCTION MODEL
THAN ANY OTHER SPORTS CAR CURRENTLY OUT
Wait, what?
But isn't the Vette both heavier and Supercharged?
And doesn't the Ford have lower drag?
What am I missing here? It doesn't compute.
the vette has cylinder deactivation and it doesn't have 700 hp

When will you fagg/o/ts learn that HP is a poor measurement of a performance car?
Two 3000lb N/A 400HP Sedans can be COMPLETELY different in character based on gearing, chassis tuning, weight bias/balance, tires, transmission design, suspension, wheels, aerodynamics, torque curve, HP curve, max RPM, etc. etc. etc.
>and it doesn't have 700 hp
neither does the GT unless ford recently announced something that i'm missing.
the ford gt does have 700 hp
Post source
Oh wait you have none
All Ford have said is "600+ HP"
>spoon feed me mommy
>companies want an unsuccessful flagship no one cares about.
To me, the selling point is the shaping of the damn thing, it's just gorgeous to look at.. The performance is only gravy, and ultimately negligible as long as long as it's equal to or faster than a Huracan.
>that dash tho
Dat lag. Chinese tablet running Torque tier.
I sincerely hope you're trolling and that nobody is this retarded for realsies.
>Dr. Ing. Hc. ShPos. Veeky Forums Esq. the th, archduke of Retardville.
FTFY.
That's a badass street stock.
People care about snek though. Very few people will ever buy an ACR but every car person knows about it.

stay btfo
P-pls don't post pics of my carfu. It hurts me emotionally that I can't afford her yet
Being this stupid to spend half a million on poor engineering
your point?
Yeah, you know that "racing" thing? And how "weight" is such a big deal?
More fuel efficient cars can go around the track just as many times, but carry less weight in fuel.
And if they carry the same weight in fuel they get fewer pit stops
