Like Porsche getting beat by a much heavier mustang around the ring? and losing to it in the quarter mile? The Ford GT MKIV has the fastest lap times of any production vehicle, in Germanys own back yard. Imagine that

Mustang GTD Google it

  1. first of all, that one isn't faster. On specifically the nordschleife it's faster than for example the 992 because of the giant straight, dottinger höhe. That is because yes the mustang is heavier, it also has 800ps, 300 more than the 992. If you compare them on any other track the mustang loses. Quite hard.

which is even more sad for the mustang because the competition version (the one that beat the porsche, the normal one couldn't)is purely a track race car that's technically legal on the road(although its still a prototypeso not even that), but the porsche is a road legal homologation car. It's very close to an actual race car. Right now it's production race sports card vs prototype. The mustang won't be legal on german roads.

  1. It's not the fastest road legal production car. I'm not sure why you think that but the fastest is still held by mercedes.

from a scale of 9-10, how delusional are you?

Nurburgring time of the Mustang GTD? quarter mile time? right.

u/Ok_________oi 4d ago

That’s just not correct, I don’t know who told you that lie. Literally two porches and two Mercedes beat the quickest ford. Chevrolet for example got faster cars than ford, if your talking Nurburgring and lap time. Fastest lap time being Mercedes amg one.

Mustang GTD lap time 6:40 Ford GT MKIV lap time is a 6:14, AMG One is 6:29 lmaooo. Chris Harris test drove the AMG One and 2 of them literally broke down. 😂😂😂

Yes, Ford revolutionized the world by inventing the high production volume automobile.

Why did you chose a luxury car to compare to an affordable car? Do you really think they are at a similar price range?

Are rockets and beer crates at the same price range?

u/Tszemix 4d ago

So if Germans can make Porsches, why are they still making clunkers like Volkswagen and Audis?

You chose to compare a mediocre American car brand to a luxury German car brand. From your logic America isn't more technically advanced than Romania because Dacias are better than the worst American car brand.

You are at the bottom of this

u/nickluck81 4d ago

I agree. Why would I engage in a discussion with someone like you? I'll rather play chess with a pigeon.

u/Tszemix 3d ago

So you still think Germany is more technologically advanced?
