Seems about right for the great underachieving GT500.

Although I can appreciate your opinion & I'm not a Ford guy; the Ford GT certainly is a worthy collector's car. Agreed that it's not a supercar, as is the Saleen S7. Never the less, it is a car that warrants a monikor better than "Suck farts out of ***'s with straws." If nothing else, the commitment by Ford to re-engineer & manufacture the Ford GT is worth some respect.

It says "PART TWO", which would indicate a continuation from part 1.

That's pretty clear in the first post, along with a link to the first thread (part 1).

Ever driven a Ford GT? It's a super car alright. My 2 cents anyway.
I've driven a lot of cars and it makes the rest pail in comparison.

Nope...just adding my opinion. The Ford GT is incredible. It is a supercar.
Anyone who hasn't driven one shouldn't even comment because they
have no idea what they are talking about.

So, here I am defending the Ford GT & simply agreed w/ the original poster whom commented that it wasn't a supercar & you choose my reply to him to respond to?

Yes, I have driven one & it is not a supercar. These days, seems like, everyone's car is supposed to be a supercar. Further, in that same post I referenced what a supercar is & the Ford GT will "pale in comparison" to an S7, a real supercar. Ford GT is an important car, as I noted. However, there are very few "as bought" supercars.

Unit, You close to Troy?

The Saleen shop there is pretty cool. In their showroom is the Troy Police hot rod that was consfiscated in a drug raid, a Ford GT, a Saleen Mustang, A Saleen F-150 style truck, a Saleen Focus? or some smaller car similar to a Focus & many photo displays. It has been a year or so since I've been there. They rotate there dispaly cars so maybe now they have an S7 on display. Saleen is also working on a or several GM based products. They wouldn't confirm which cars, but, would guess Corvette, new Camaro, & maybe a GM compact model. Anyway, it's a great place to visit.

Appologies to Hurricane LS1 for the off topic post.

IMO any car that can do 200+ mph is a supercar
