Ford GT 2005 Car Review
Overview
Approaching an exotic car like the Ford GT, which boasts a top speed of 204 MPH and a roofline as low as my belt, I expected a compromise in comfort. I anticipated a rough ride but hoped the thrilling acceleration would overshadow any discomfort. In reality, the acceleration exceeded my expectations.
The Ford GT is a revival of the legendary 1966 Le Mans-winning GT40. While the original was impressive, this new GT showcases a truly spectacular design. Normally, I’d find something to nitpick?"perhaps a design flaw or an awkward line. However, as I examined this car, my admiration only grew. The designers and engineers had the arduous task of ensuring stable aerodynamics at 200 MPH, a feat that would have overturned the original model.
Performance and Design
Housing a 5.4-liter supercharged V-8 engine, the GT delivers a staggering 550 horsepower. For enthusiasts, this translates to a 0-to-60 time of just 3.3 seconds and a quarter-mile in 11.6 seconds. Although the engine's sound isn’t particularly memorable?"thanks to a glass partition that mutes it?"what you lose in auditory thrill, you gain in sheer performance power.
Under the front hood, you’ll find limited storage space, enough for six tennis balls or a pair of flip-flops, but not both. Inside, storage is non-existent?"no glove box, side pockets, or cup holders. However, in a true sports car, this is ideal. It’s all about the drive, without distractions flying around as you take on high g-forces.
Interior and Comfort
To my surprise, the interior was more comfortable than anticipated. The black and silver knobs and dashboard add a modern, edgy flair. It features the now-popular big red Start button and shuttle-like toggle switches for controls such as the rear defroster. The tachometer takes center stage, while the nearly irrelevant speedometer sits to the right, near the passenger. Be sure to set the temperature before driving; the controls are awkwardly placed under your right elbow.
Driving Experience
Driving the GT was a revelation. Despite its performance pedigree, it handled potholes and uneven surfaces with unexpected ease, smoother than some sport BMW sedans I’ve tested. The GT launches and shifts effortlessly, with a smooth power delivery from the superchargers. Although I didn’t have the chance to fully test its cornering capabilities, its low profile and wide stance suggest it handles lateral speeds adeptly.
Public Reaction
Driving the GT draws attention everywhere. At every stoplight, people wanted to know about the car?"a level of public interest unmatched by any other unique production car I’ve driven. With its extreme features, the Ford GT successfully asserts itself in the competitive +$150,000 market.
In conclusion, the Ford GT is a masterful blend of eye-catching design and heart-pounding performance, proving Ford’s capability to compete with the best in the world of exotic cars.
