Someone needs to review the line about Production beginning on August 17th, 2001. Ford GT concept car wasn't even exhibited until January, 2002... http://media.ford.com/newsroom/feature_display.cfm?release=18238
though it is assembled in america, the engine and the Ford badge are the only american things about this car. The rest of it comes from Europe so technically it is a Euro Ford. Plus its a remake of the British made GT40 that was built when the deal made between Ford and Ferrari went sour. --Warhawk-mgsv-r 21/6/09 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.171.105.236 ( talk) 14:10, 24 July 2009 (UTC) The above comment is incorrect. About the only part of the Ford GT from Europe is the Riccardo gearbox. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.14.230.97 ( talk) 01:04, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
JGTC has changed it's name to Super GT
I thought Kazunori Yamauchi drives his car known as Opera Performance S2000.
I just want to let someone know that I was searching for "ford gt" and I think I might have accidentally created a blank page at Ford_gt (instead of the legitimate article Ford_GT, note capitalization). I'm uncertain as to how to delete the blank page. -- Electronbrain 17:47, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
This is the most poorest cars in terms of quality and fuel economy,it does 4 miles/g only. Seen all this in T.V programme "Topgear".
I have a GT, and it's my daily driver when I'm in Los Angeles. Its fuel economy is excellent if you drive it smoothly. In city driving, your gear progression should be 2-4-5-6 (6 if you can get to 40mph+). Drive smoothly, and you get 16mpg in the city, 20 average and 22-23 on the freeway. I have yet to find an easier car to drive.
If that paragraph right above this entry is true, then our minivan gets worse gas milage then you do in a Ford GT and our minivan has a V6. And also, seriously, don't post stuff like the GT gets like, .000005 mpg when it's obviously not true.
And I know that Ford's aren't worst in terms of quality.
I also own a GT, and I agree with the above poster. With smooth driving and good gear progression, it's amazing how much fuel economy you can squeeze out of it. I've easily gotten 20 average. The GT is significantly easier to drive than my (late) '99 Mustang Cobra, and is one of the smoothest cars I've ever driven. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.175.167.154 ( talk) 10:50, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
Other editors created a monthly production table for 2004-2006, but abandoned updating the figures after March 2006. I found the sales figures for June-August and YTD. Still searching for April and May 2006 - still TBD. Production officially ends at the end of September 2006 [1], but sales of remaining inventory may continue through the end of the year, and possibly into 2007. Source for sales figures: http://media.ford.com - although the archives only go back so far. -- T-dot 18:36, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
Why is it that the Ford GT has yet to be used at LeMans? It and a few other cars would be a great revival for the good old days of LeMans.
Ford GT Shelby GR-1 (Daytona) Lamborghini Miura Chevrolet Corvette Porsche 911
All we need now is a new Dino, and we have the old LeMans again.
Are you sure the 0-60 time is 3.3 seconds?
According to this: http://www.fordstreetracing.com/cars/highperformance.asp (and other sources where I've seen it) 1995 Ford GT90 Concept does 0-60 in 3.1s and 2005 Ford GT in 3.3s -- Insaneisme 16:32, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
With the power these cars put on the roads, 0-60 times vary wildly due to many factors: - driver quality - tire state (pressure, temp, quality) - weather (cold, hot, high/low pressure) - tarmac quality
You can often get a +/- .5 seconds due to these factors.
Edited article to show that the Ford GT is in enthusia professional racing.
Added the fact the Ford GT also appears on the retail box / DVD case of PC version of Test Drive Unlimited.
I'm kinda new here so I don't really know the etiquette of adding a picture, so I'll just say that you guys have my permission to add my picture of a Ford GT if you want to: http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=320210261&context=set-72157594406337776&size=l -- Mike 19:35, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

An editor removed the Clarkson section by noting "popular assent." I reverted it back to get an explanation as to why one editor felt that he had good reason to delete it. If its because several editors expressed concern about the section, then I could completely understand. But seeing the closest thing that I can see on the talk page is "Oh, we cant have lists of famous owners" im perplexed at this editors reasoning. -- 293.xx.xxx.xx 06:38, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
Reasons to include it: 1) The show is watched by hundreds of millions of people. Thus its exposure on Top Gear (which is NOT limited solely to his anecdotes and quips about the reliability and flakiness of his own personal car and customer service experience) is a more relevant source of information than almost any other source in the world, with the possible exception of its inclusion in a variety of video games. Few if any magazines, billboards, TV commercials (if there are any) or OTHER TV shows see circulation/viewership in the multi hundreds of millions, not including rebroadcasting by affiliates, DVD sales, or cut-and-pasted segments replayed on the internet or TV. the "saga" occurred over the course of YEARS and involved many many separate incidents (again, this is not limited to his sporadic lamentations about his personal car). 2) Clarkson has had personal experience with 4 separate examples of the car (DIFFERENT CARS). The original cars, reviewed and displayed on normal segments of the show (S03E01 and S04E8), the car that was driven across Europe (S07E03), and his personal car which has undergone well publicized terrible reliability issues. Thus it is almost guaranteed that he has more personal driving and ownership experience than almost any other driver unaffiliated with Ford. Other GT owners may have owned and driven the car longer, but they probably did not drive 4 separate chassis over the course of the production run. This is merely what we know about from the show itself. It does not include Clarkson's own personal research and experience talking to other owners of Ford GTs (such as the many celebrities he has befriended through his role on the show). If you think his opinions and the coverage itself is irrelevant, non-encyclopedic, or biased..... Im sorry but you are either biased yourself, you are a basement dweller, or you are simply stupid. 68.6.76.31 ( talk) 06:04, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
The price figures are very confusing as figures are sometimes given in reference to the recommended price, and the chronology is broken. I do not understand the section well enough to fix it, and there are no sources given for the figures Canterwoodboy 13:22, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
The edit that took place here: 21:51, 11 October 2007 97.66.0.154 altered the pricing and states that people paid as much as $100,000,000 premium over suggested retail. This edit also changed other numbers, and my guess is it was not malicious, but I'm not sure what the accurate numbers are. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NeilCoughlin ( talk • contribs)

I'm new here, so please forgive me if I'm making a mistake. I was reading the article and I noticed that the GTs top speed is appearently greater than that of a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport.

720hp power figure stated but citations at end of the sentence pertain to other information stated therein. As the manufacturer states "600-plus horsepower" ( https://www.ford.com/performance/gt/), this should arguably be the power figure of record unless a reliable source can prove otherwise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scalapaedia ( talk • contribs) 22:53, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
