Any hints on the horsepower rating?
With that low of gearing, knowing it probably has 6 gears would make it interesting to see what the gearing and speed is like for the rest of the gears.

The actual article is from Autoweek.com and goes on to say that the use of exotic materials in the car gives it a power to weight ratio of 6.2 lbs. per horsepower.

I know I'd jump at the chance to see a Ford GT run against a S/C Z06!

The GT would be sweet if it had the smallest pulley possible, the aftermarket borla exhaust, intake and drag tires. That thing would be awesome to see  Everything would bow before it

I think you'd see one hell of a lot of smoke regardless of the tires.
