Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 (Mk VI facelift) specs

They don't have V8 as good as the V6 in Ford GT. Ecoboost is far superior in fuel consumption. And it matters a heck of a lot in Le Mans.

I understand you... but Ferrari won with 3.9 V8 TT

Ferrari V8 TT is modern turbo engine, like the ecoboost V6 or I4.

This Ford supercharged V8 is a gas guzzler. I bet it feels and sounds amazing to drive it, but with the GT, Ford actually wanted to win races.

They could have designed ecoboost-type V8. But they chose V6. Both options would have advantages and disadvantages. V6 is more compact and better for weight and weight distribution, also a bit more fuel efficient. V8 has smaller pistons and can rev up higher (a bit more horsepower).

Again i agree with you about V6, but historically Ford GT had a V8 (not the same this Mustang). Maybe the client of street version wanted a V8.

Ford should be ashamed of themselves, Putting a V6 in a GT, Blasphemy, Not saying its a bad engine at all, But it doesnt belong in a GT, If i had one, Id certainly be putting money in a new V8 that would fit in it, Could care less about resale value, And be the first one to do it.

Finally we agree on something lol I wouldn't buy one because they put a shitty V6 engine in it which sounds like crap.

Depends on whether you wanted the Ford GT Mk II to be tribute to original GT or if you wanted the Mk II to be clean slate design with no nostalgia baggage and simply be engineered as good as possible to be fast on track.

Actually, in a way, V6TT Ford GT is closer to GT40 because the original GT40 was also built to simply win Le Mans, purely function-over-form and with no weird vanity requirements for certain number of cylinders etc.

V8 engines simply were the best option at the time. It is only logical to expect Ford to choose the best option again in 2017 - and they did when they chose V6TT.

Cant we have both? Cant we have a GT that is both a tribute to last cars while having a clean slate? Every GT was built for racing but that doesnt mean they have to ditch tradition because people have become oversensitive pussys knowadays, Ivee got no probel with that EcoBoost V6, None at all, The only problem i have is that its in a GT, If they wanted to make a standalone supercar with it, Im all for it, But 6 cylinders in Fords most awesome car doesnt feel right. Whats next a Lambo with an Inline4? A Porsche with a V16? Chevy with a V2? Ferrari with a W8?....

You would have both if Ford went for V8TT. Unfortunately, they didn't. Not the end of the world.

.....Its just the end of heritage, And tradition, And sticking to there roots, I agree that the next cars generation in every car looses a bit of its root in the newest generation, But its going much faster and thats a shame.

Yes that the point!

The Ford gt mk II remind me the XJ220 case... V6 2 turbos... A sale failure

I was a little dissapointed it didnt have the Na V12 back in the day..

Losing tradition, Herutage, Roots is the point? If that was the case it wouldnt look similiar..

No, i agree with this comment yours:

Cant we have both? Cant we have a GT that ..."

Maybe the next on in 2029 will? That or a bullshite 3 Turbo Inline4 with Awd...

The GT 40 had to meet certain criteria to race and win again at Le Mans.
