MPG


 
"My "other car" used an average of 11 gallons per quarter mile, or you could say 44 gallons per mile-


But the 0 to 270 mph in 3.0 seconds was worth it-"

So how was the mileage on the T70?

So much work on such a detail, that not one owner will give a sh-t about. What are those numbers as WOT? ... Ha.

It is funny Specracer! I don't think we care about mpg but there isn't one aspect of the NGT that doesn't interest us! LOL

Top speed is in 7th gear. Close ratio gearbox.

That statement is so full of awesomeness.

This is a barely disguised race car. Screw fuel economy, fiscal responsibility, etc.

As close to the current race cars as the street GT40s were in 1966. Only changes are for emissions/safety, just like the GT40 street cars, except they needed a lot less done to them.

Agree ..... but a car that will go 200 mhp should still - at 60 mph in 7th gear be at a rpm level where I would have thought that mileage would have been higher ....
 
It goes a fair bit more than 200.

even @1000hp it still slows you down in 6th

I wonder what it'll do in a rolling 1.5 mile?

6th gear perfect even with only 740 horsepower if you have the 3.90 gears.
 
Still not any confirmed hp rating? I read somewhere in a magazine or a blog that it was rated at 591 ... any truth to that?

Uh, no. :lol It is well over 600 and it is also a torque monster.

I think people who expect a driving experience like the '05-'06 GT are going to be in for a surprise. Some pleasantly, others maybe not so much. The last GT was a plush ride with good NVH and a lazy, under stressed power train. I think the new car will be the polar opposite, at least I hope so. The fact that it gets mediocre fuel economy gives me great hope that the motor is tuned to within an inch of its life. Just the way it should be.
 
I agree, this is going to be tough to get in and out of, less than zero storage, rough nvh, tiny cabin, the list goes on. And I can't wait to own one.

Arguably easier to get in and out of than the 05.
 
Don’t care about mileage. When it goes to E ,I refill it!
In and out is kinda my thing!
As long as my wife can get in, Im all set! Its ok if she can’t get out!
Storage for my IPhone is all I need.

You be on the right page. :facepalm::lol
 
Well you won't hit your head as easily.....I suppose the sit on the sill and rotate does ease the transition, to basically sitting on the ground . The door sills are bigger than a C4 vette.

I am with you, I also expected better mileage, especially the possibility of todays engine management. Sure I don't care in the end.

Regarding your Audi I suspect it is the same like my S6. When I did the testdrive I was quite shocked how laggish it was and there was no boost feeling. Once I changed from economy mode to normal or sports mode the car felt totally different and the MPG numbers have changed as well. And I guess the start/stop feature saves 1-2ltr/100km as well and I would not want to have one on the new Ford GT :thumbsdow
 
can't believe really discussing MPG on this car! If it is a concern get a hybrid Ferrari or Porsche. Only aspect I don't like is paying more taxes to the government (gas guzzler tax)
