    @@CoyoteFTW it simply doesn’t make sense to me. You mean to tell me that Ford was building ALUMINUM blocks in 2005 that could make 3000 horsepower without cracking and putting them into production cars? That doesn’t seem physically possible. Bugatti engineered the veyron to be the fastest car in the world and I don’t think that the W16 in that car that made close to 1500 whp in the Chiron SS could handle double it’s factory output. It’s simply not possible

    Still amazing that a Ford GT, still road legal, was made to reach 300MPH. Took another decade and a half for another car company, bugatti, to make a road legal 300mph car, among others. GT was just so far ahead of it's time, people could really make it drive any way they wanted, rather than hyper expensive factory options. Bet the GT still even drives pretty normally around the road, even with the 3000HP.

    John claims that he occasionally drives it on the street - runs errands, takes his kids to school, and so forth. With that said, he probably doesn't street-drive it a whole lot. 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.

I doubt I'm the only one who'd love to see several overly arrogant European auto manufacturers shut up and put in line for a bit..... If for any reason it would have shaken up the entire auto industry and the responses would have been interesting.

    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.
