It's hard to believe the GT500 can out run the GT given the power to weight ratios and GT was a "track" car. Either all the C/D tested data are bad or the 2 non C/D tested are questionable. I will be interested in seeing the next set of tests from C/D. It's not I believe C/D more than others, it's just that they will tend to test these vehicles at around the same time; removing at least one more variable. Interesting numbers nevertheless. I think Ford should take these new GT500's and GT's to the "ring"....

I may question the tune on the car, driver, etc.... but the time is pretty self evident by the little ticking numbers on the top right of the video......
