Default AutoWeek: Superformance GT40

" Only a short drive from the Superformance company headquarters, the road opened up: five lanes wide, fields on either side, clear vision and no traffic.

"Go ahead, open it up," said Superformance CEO Lance Stander, who owned the very GT40 we were driving and was ready to assume some sort of risk, presumably.

So we opened it up.

Pandora and her famous box had nothing on this car. The massive, angry Roush 427 strapped on behind us like an iron-block backpack suddenly opened its big bowls of Holley and barked out all 550 hp, half of which seemed to go to glorious noise and the other half to slingshotting us down the roadway as if it were a crazed nuclear pellet gun. "

Has anyone ever compared the Ford GT (2005-2006) with the SPF GT40 (and the original too)?

I have been in a Ford GT and Lances old GT40, and I would take the SPF all day long. Lances car has Brutal acceleration, and is better looking IMO.

I had SPF2103 for a year or so and it had the 427 Roush, it was a screamer, no doubt, but after driving the Ford GT I would have to say it is better in every way except looks. It is faster, more predictable , much more comfortable and safer. I still have my CAV MK1 with the small block, great car but not in the class of a ford GT.
