Ford GT confirmed to have at least 700 HP!
>"The RXC Turbo 500R is based on the extantRXC Turbkbut comes with new turbos, indirect and direct fuel injection to boost power to 600bhp in standard form, but with a further 100bhp available as an option."
>fastest radical car yet is powered by an EcoBoost V6
>Ford will use this same 700 hp engine in the GT

Who here is ready to see the competition get BTFO by a V6?
We're still waiting on the official weight though.
>>15378133
Prohibition somewhere around 2600-2800 lbs.
>>15378126
>muh hp
>muh weight
The corvette is almost as fast as a 918 around a track. This thing won't stand a chance.
>>15378149
>implying it won't be far faster than a corvette
>>15378149
>a corvette
>faster than a gt
>>15378149
a corvette can't even beat a pifgat GTR
>>15378149
lol delusional gm fangirl detected.
>Carry about any of these shit cars when the BASED Viper ACR exists.
>they got so mad they reported me
:D
>>15378126
looks more like 600, and Radical will add boost/build engine up to 1000. doesn't matter if it's "only" 600, the car must weigh about as much as a miata without the engine, possibly less.
>>15378200
>exists
lol no it doesn't
also
>slower than a duratec Ford
>>15378202
lol that venom gt is so shit. it's a lotus with an ls swap how is that even worth bring up? none of that power goes to the ground.
>>15378202
lol v8 "performance"
>>15378213
its slower than a Ford too

>viper doesn't sell so they end production
>news of production cut makes last model sells out instantly
Maybe Dodge will change their mind and keep producing them
>>15378227
>viper doesn't sell so they end production
They ended it because the chassis wasn't compatible with safety regulations.
>Maybe Dodge will change their mind and keep producing them
They would have to make another chassis. good thing they extracted as much performance out of this one as they could.
>>15378213
>n-none of that power g-goes to the ground!! :(
Lol!! :D
>>15378203
Ford's god tier engineering will take care of that. It probably will weigh around 2400-2600 lbs dry and 2500-2700 lbs full of fuel and other liquids. With a driver 180 lb driver it won't break 3000 lbs.
>>15378243
>muh straight line
the moment it turns it becomes a shittier obese lotus lmao.
>>15378237
>forged internals
>no supercharger
They coulda got more if they went all hellcat
>slower than a Ford in a straight line
>slower than a Ford around a circuit
how can Hennesshit and GM compete?
>>15378283
They can't, that's what's so funny.
>>15378215
and then the radical is beaten by the 918 on a different laptime, chill with the shitposting m8
>>15378376
It actually isn't. It's slower around the ring too. Stay mad.
>>15378383
I know the sr8-lm is faster, but that uses a v8. So now what?
>>15378404
Can you read? The Radical EcoBoost is faster than any of their previous cars. They said so themselves. It's obviously going to beat the SR8-LM.

>>15378420
untit it does, the v8 is faster around the ring. It's as simple as that
>>15378426
No, it's not you imbecile. Deal with it.
radical engineers>you
BTFO!!!
>15378426
holy fuck your full of shit
>>15378426
SR8-LM has more power and about 1000 pounds lighter than the RXC 500, so you're prolly right
>>15378430
>>15378435
no reason to be mad that a v6 isnt on top for glorious burgerring laptimes,
>>15378455
Yet the radical engineers say otherwise, try again, cuck.
>>15378446
>SR8 LM has more power
False, the LM has 690 the EcoBoost has 700 HP
>weighs a 1000 lbs less
False again.
Post yfw it has more hp that a 919 but cant even beat it.

Britcucks BTFO
>>15378521
The racing GT's are running less than 550 HP. They have massive performance decreases compared to the stock street cars.
>>15378529
>still has more hp
>billions of dollars spent on r&d
>germans get shitfaced, fab a few parts in a month, and still btfo murikeks
>>15378549
(you)
>>15378549
Maybe ford will compete at the top level eventually
>>15378562
As long as germany has beer and mein kampf, VAG will destroy motor racing. Look at the 917 with porsche making 2 complete cars and the rest shells, 962 raping for 6 years, the wsc/95 being a 962 with a jag body, etc. Porsche is made of smart sneaky bastards that know their shit.
>>15378562
Doubtful, that would be trying to prove Ecoboost can take on the best and i don't think they would be willing to go that far. (too much R&D+Porsche/Audi dominance)
It'd probably mean something if they actually tried to use Ecoboost to beat Ferrari in Formula One if their trying to repeat the results of the 1960s with the last Ford GT when Ferrari use to focus on Le-mans. as of now F1 is the only thing Ferrari cares about and since the Road-going Ford GT won't touch the La-Ferrari (their fastest production car) they don't really have anything to lose sleep over and probably see the whole thing by Ford as them just trying to be cute.
