Ford video "Bold Moves: GT500 Meet the Press"
Link:
http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/07/...eet-the-press/ By the way, did anyone see how the GT500 dives when breaking hard ? Is it only me or there is something not quite right there ? Never seen a car do that, at least not THAT much...

58% of the weight over the nose (not counting driver), and morbidly obese and that's what you get.

Re: Ford video "Bold Moves: GT500 Meet the Press"
Look at the Car & Driver test (against the 'vette). The GT500 was hopping and jumping in the curves. A result of the solid axle.
What a lousy car. Surely this can't be the best they could have done.
