They are both very fast. The Carrera GT has 605 HP and all Carbon Fiber. As far as the Ford GT smoking it, I doubt it. It would be close off the line but in the end the Carrera will win overall. Now I haven’t driven a FORD GT. But I have driven the Carrera and I must admit it is scary to drive. Tires will break loose in 3rd. Heat them up first. Check out TOPGEAR. you can do a search on all there videos.
I’m sure the Porsche is faster in most ways including track times – but it should be at triple the price. Either car is absurdly fast for American roads, but I’d love to have one of each!
All of you could not afford 1 of these cars let alone the magazine to get the specs on these cars. Finish grade school first and sell your skateboards.
A Ford GT is not cheap.
Go to the libary and look for the article where there was a road test on these two cars (and some other outofsight cars).
The over all winner was the Ford GT.
As for a Porsche, give me a break. They are just an over priced VW on steriods.
Both great cars and capable of some impressive speed. On a technical level, the Porsche is light years ahead of the Ford (for the person that thinks it’s a VW? They may want to check out the number of manufacturing patents that Porsche has connected to the C-GT’s development and the number of unique materials used in it’s construction). And to a large extent, this advantage in technology and approach will make the Porsche faster.
Not that the Ford is slow! It’s a wonderful update to the GT40… but, it is sadly lacking in attention to detail, which would go to explain much of the cost difference. The only time I’ve seen a Ford GT at an open track event, it was quick, looked and sounded wonderful, and after only one run session, it left the event on a flat bed because the rear bumper was melting from the exhaust heat! Seems this hasn’t been a limited problem… but the fact that Ford couldn’t design body work that wouldn’t melt when the car was run at or near WOT for 10+ minutes?
In contrast, the few Carrera GTs I’ve seen at the track have turned great laptimes, sounded unbeleivable when run wide open, and ended the day with nothing more than the expected tire wear.
Both are fast and exotic, but the Carrera GT seems to actually be made for driving fast.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
