A very interesting read is EVO magazines car of the year 2005 (Jan 2006 issue).
They put the GT ahead of a Gallardo SE (so the late MY05/06 spec - with all the changes and added bhp) and infact, top of the pile for 2005. It makes a very good read and back issues can be ordered.
Stats as tested are: -
Gallardo SE - 513 bhp @ 8,000 rpm with 376Lb ft @ 4,500 rpm. Weight 1520kg, 343bhp/ton, 0-60mph in 4.0 and max at 196 mph
Ford GT - 550 bhp @ 6,500 rpm with 500Lb ft @ 3,750 rpm. Weight 1583kg, 353bhp/ton, 0-60mph in 3.7 and a max of 205 mph
Don't forget the Gallardo SE was also UK spec - which means it will be slightly faster than your North American spec due to us having slightly easier emissions laws. AND the SE is the latest and greatest of the Gallardos. If your neighbour has a pre SE car, it will be slower than I've stated above. And, not wanting to start a bun-fight but I know a few people who have dyno'd their Gallardos and found them producing less bhp at wheel than the Lambo state. Where as Porsche seem to underestimate (and perhaps Ford did with the GT), the Italians seem to over estimate at times :wink
See, all my research has come in handy! :wink
If anyone wants the contact info to order a copy of this issue - it's a great review of the GT - PM me and I'll dig it out for you.
