2017 Ford GT

Honestly my favorite car ever. I don't understand the hate and need for a v8 when the v6 ecoboost is more than enough for the GT. It's proven it's worth on the race track, won GTLM Daytona, won last year at Le Mans. Honestly people should be advancing in technology for cars and I don't know, is it because it's out of tradition or because a v8 is a necessity? I personally don't think it's wrong because the GT shouldn't be known for its engine, but for its innovation.

v6 is the greatest engine anyway. v8 was the prototype

>I don't understand the hate and need for a v8
The fact that it gets mediocre fuel economy for being all about "eco" when one of the very reasons for going from V8 to V6 is to at least benefit from the fuel economy advantage its like being told to eat some exotic fruit (for reference lets say a Durian) that taste like sweaty skidmark'ed underpants from an 80 year old man who hasn't showered in weeks only to then be told that it offered no more health benefits than if you just ate at subway. That right there is legitimate criticism enough to form an opposing opinion against the engine choice and setup. i don't hate V6s at all, i like the LGX from GM. i like Honda's V6s.

>Honestly people should be advancing in technology for cars
That right there is what makes this a slap in the face. It is no more "advanced" than their V8s. they could've gotten better fuel economy and achieved greater horsepower by going Hybrid.
(a hybrid anything including V8 would've gotten better fuel economy than just turbo V6) This seems to be the future of Super cars going forward anyway so what better way to showcase new technology than that? it also could've been seen as a trickle-down effect for their hybrid economy cars using what they learn on the GT and applying it there. (that) would've been advancing technology.

>the GT shouldn't be known for its engine,
You're right, it should be known for winning Le-mans which it is and this one never will be.

>but for its innovation.
Agreed, any super car of this price and pretentiousness from a shitbox manufacturer should be. unfortunately this one isn't and so far it looks like it isn't really going to offer anything over cars that currently exist and that is the reason i personally feel like its a prank wrapped in irony that went too far and don't like it. i guess its something innovative for Ford and ford alone though. it also pushed GM into finally making an MR as they want an edge in GT.

dat aesthetic tho....

>inb4 "class wins suddenly count now!"
MR2 holds the class land speed record, don't take that away from me.

I'll bite.

There's nothing innovative about this car. It's just a supercar with a V6 turbo not that much different than the alfa V6 apart from the anti-lag.

Ford V6 is best v6.

nice copypasta

This is actually a good post and very well thought out response to meme shitposting, thank you user

just bought mr2.
Tell me more.
