Just walked in the door and at home waiting for me was the newest R&D. On the cover is a red Ford GT with other "Superpower" cars. Specifically a 430, Viper, Porch. 997 turbo, Z06, and Gallardo. The question asks..."Who is the Fastest"? Of course I turn imediately to the graphs........yea......the GT is fastest for top speed 204.4mph, and a 1/4 mile @11.7 & 126.1mph, blowing the others away. :banana

Of course the verbage says handling and other info....with their bottom line the 430 is best. Good reading, even though for handeling, the GT in their reviews is bottom of the group.

Racer X,

That article should have been subtitled, "The Italian Connection" or "How to dupe hapless auto journalists".

See my link here and read Bart's explanation about how the Ford GT got jobbed in this test...
