  • Опубликовано: 23 дек 2022
  • The 2022 Ford GT (US $660,845 when purchased) is so much more than a pretty face designed in a wind tunnel. It has a twin turbo V6 with 660 horsepower, lots of weight saving carbon fibre, and a rapidly-deploying suspension drop system along with an active rear wing that is as functional as it is dramatic. But how does it stack up against a 2023 Corvette C8 Z06 ($164,505 as specced in the US, $189,027 in Canada) which is but a fraction of the cost and has a high-revving naturally aspirated V8? Thomas and James put these two marvels of American engineering to the test. We hope you enjoy the episode! Thanks for watching. SUBSCRIBE!

    The new Ford gt kept as close to the original styling as they could, also there is only 1 gt colored in mystic chrome. The fact that Ford basically took a ecoboost truck engine or Mustang engine and made it run with other hyper-cars that have a v8, 10, 12, and even 16 cylinder engines is phenomenal.

      The GT500 hangs and in many instances beats the Z06 it’ll be very close on a road course but I doubt the Z06 will beat the GT500 because it tied with a Porsche Gt3rs. And it’s down on horsepower. The GT500 is $89k and the Z06 $250,000.

      True, they all look far better in person. (Ive seen all 4 at the Chicago Auto Show).. But the Stingray might as well not even be related. The Z06/Z07 is on a whole different planet. Wider, WAYYY more aggressive, sexier & and far more gorgeous. The Z06 is what the c8 was always supposed to be. And imo its the better looking car vs the GT. The GT is awesome & more exotic.. But its more sleek & elegant, but I prefer the sharper angles, aggressive body lines/splitter/aero, and the chiseled look of the Z06. And for the price difference, (and the fact the Vette is the do-it-all daily, supercar, track beast), I think its the best car under $250k

I don’t like Ferrari’s, and I’m not particularly fond of Fords. I don’t much care for GM cars, except for the Corvette (and maybe the Buick Regal Grand National). I’ve loved Corvettes since I was a little kid. That’s what’s nice about the freedom to choose. You can choose what you like and so can I, and neither of us have to agree, and yet we’ve lost nothing. I’ve never understood someone challenging another’s opinion. As if that will change anyone’s mind, and as if it matters. It doesn’t.

I found a new 2000 Vette convertible in the showroom. It took me time to get in and my head bulged the softop! The salesman informed me I'd be driving with the roof down! I left and went a few blocks down to Pontiac, took a WS-6 for a drive, now at the time these cars had the exact same drive train. But more importantly I fit into this car! So I ordered one, and 23 years later am I glad I did, as my order included Pewter paint & a Taupe leather interior. The salesman told me only a grey interior would look good with that paint. There were just 32 with Pewter paint and 9 with Taupe leather made, with the combination, just 4 were built, 23 years ago. I have 1 of maybe 2 left in the world and mine has 50K on the clock, never in accident and always garaged...Can you guess the value???

      The coming TT RWD ZR1 should be amazing, the Zora with the additional electric driven front wheels should be bonkers in a straight line, but all of this will come with even more weight over the already slightly portly C8Z. While the C8Z is epic for what it is, I still feel the C6Z was the pinnacle in some ways, and certainly on the scale...

    It truly makes me happy to see you guys get the opportunity to drive cars like this. I’ve followed your channel for years, and it has been amazing to watch your channel grow to become what it is, but even more impressive is your level of humility and sincere gratitude. Watching you guys feels like watching 2 old friends live out their dream. Keep it up guys and thank you for allowing all of us to come along for the ride.

    This was a nice holiday treat. As a Ford GT owner I agree with James said. It really does feel special and the lack of sound deadening in the carbon tub truly makes it feel like a pure racecar for the street. It NEVER gets old. Mine is definitely a keeper. Unlike most owners, I drive it often so I constantly get the thrill they describe in this video. As for the Z06, it's great to see GM out-Ferrari Ferrari's current offerings. It gives me hope that the minority of enthusiasts at GM still have a voice.

      @@BEBNC1 really? 812 line up does.... and if they are all hybrid and tt is for a reason and it is obvious. Tell me of one na car that can keep up with a baby 296gts. I am waiting..... dont say the z06 because its not even close. The truth is what Ferrari ia doing now Gm will do too in some years. U just cannot every year make faster cars with lower emissions without resorting to tt or hybrid, and Ferrari draws inspiration from f1 where these changes have been implemented. One should ask...if the 458 has been benchmarked for the experience amd the gt2 rs for performance why not a single review is comparing the z06 side to side with a turbo s (since the gt2 rs is out of production)? Maybe because it puts down 10s flat for the 1/4mile every single time, let alone winning roll races with ease.

      @@j7b890 my man, not everything is about "keeping up". Speed is great, but some cars are bought because of the way they make you feel, not how fast they get you from A to B. NA cars, like the 458, have a FEEL and SOUND to them that forced induction cars to do not. Its why there was such a hissy fit when Porsche originally thought it might stop making the GT3, and why the current GT3's are selling for 2x MSRP. (even higher for the ones that come with a stick shift, which in no way keep up with the performance of the PDKs).
