What? All because the Ford GT is faster on two tracks, the gap is only 118 points? It's illogical. Yet, I would very much have the Ford, as it is a great machine, paying homage to the old GT40. The GT-R is bloody amazing as well, but in this case, I prefer the Ford.

Ford wins 13 out of 15 acceleration
measures. Calculation program is flawed.

Program must be skewed against Brit and Yankee cars. 0-100 and 150 mph times alone shows how Nissan is annihilated... but still r35 keeps up way better than r34.
