	First Drive: 2005 Ford GT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Ford is officially referring to 2005 as the "year of the car" because that's the year it plans to reengage the American consumer with great product — great product that doesn't necessarily feature body-on-frame construction.
		The new GT is considerably larger than the original version (18 inches longer, 4 inches higher), but that original car had issues that were inherent to its shape as well as its size.
		The GT's cabin accurately captures the essence of its progenitor with ventilated seats, dash-mounted toggle switches and a large tachometer front and center (the speedometer is off to the right).

		The 2005 Ford GT captures the essence of the famed GT40 of the 1960s—in a thoroughly modern mid-engine supercar.
		The Ford GT is inspired by the Ford race car of the 1960s, commonly referred to as the GT40, that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans four years in a row, from 1966 to 1969.
		The 2005 Ford GT has a silhouette that is nearly identical to the GT40, yet every aspect of the Ford GT is different and thoroughly modern.

	Ford GT
		The heart of the Ford GT is a highly modified unit from Ford's modular range of engines, which includes V-6, V-8 and V-12 units.
		Ford could have opted for the V-12 6 liter unit from the Aston Martins, but decided a V-8 was closest in concept to the original, so they chose the 5.4 liter V-8 engine and added a supercharger to push power up to 550 bhp.
		Yes, the Ford GT is not just very fast - it has been timed at the Nardo track in Italy at 205 mph - but can compete with the Porsche Carrera GT, seen as the benchmark for exotic supercars, in performance.

	Ford GT Preview
		Sporting a supercharged, 5.4L V8 placed midship and wrapped in an unstressed composite body, the all-new Ford GT bears a striking resemblence to its older brother, the infamous Ferrari beating GT from days gone by.
		Ford's designers did well to keep the new GT's resemblence very similar to the infamous GT - and we thank them for that.
		The prototype Ford GT has received great reviews and press from the thousands who've seen it in person at various high-profile auto shows, and as a result, Ford has indicated that the GT will see production as a 2003 model.

	Car Review: 2005 Ford GT
		Ford embarked upon development of a car to compete in European-style endurance racing, with the goal of winning the prestigious 24 Hours race held at LeMans, France, which was essentially a Ferrari benefit in the early 1960s.
		This Ford GT is most definitely not a GT40 replica, and that's a good thing for those well-heeled people who have bought one.
		First, the GT is best thought-of as a look-alike four-thirds scale tribute to the GT40 as it is considerably larger and built in a very different manner.

		And we are not new to Ford superchargers.

		The stock GT boost gauge only reads to 15 psi and there is nowhere to connect a manual boost 0-25 psi gauge on a Ford GT.

		The GT, as has been well storied, was conceived as a 2002 concept vehicle to shake the gloom off Ford's reputation as the company turned the 100-year mark.
		And the name isn't GT40, either - Ford refused to pay an private owner for the rights to use the GT40 name (which would be inappropriate anyway: the GT40 was named in part for its 40-inch height, and the new GT checks in at 44.3 inches high).
		Ford says their final-stage prototypes are leaving a 3.8-second gap between 0 and 60 mph; top speed is estimated at more than 190 mph.
