GT seats are nowhere near as bad as just getting in and out of the darn car. The shifter feels like it is stuck in a bucket of barely wet mud. :( The GT feels great while diving at speed though. Very flat, stable and confidence inspiring.
I would rather own a ZR-1 any day (without even driving it first ). -Mark. |

At stock power levels the GT is barely breaking a sweat, with the reality being that Ford seriously under-tired and under-powered this car. (John Coletti apparently had an obsession with this) Initially you couldn't read a review on the GT without hearing somebody say 'this car could easily take x more hp than it already has', and it wasn't uncommon for them to be talking about the car getting close to or even above the 1000hp mark. People rave about the Vette and Viper, and rightly so, but they I have never seen them say that about either. The Viper and ZR1 are great cars, but there is a reason why, relatively speaking, 1500hp GT's are relatively common given the production numbers of the car and are amazing docile while performing ridiculous feats of speed. I've seen 1500hp Vette's and Vipers, and I've seen docile Vette's and Vipers, but I've never seen a 1500hp Vette or Viper that anybody would describe as docile. If you want the ultimate supercar hot rod I think the GT is close to impossible to beat for sheer potential. Quote:
