They've had three bop changes to the Ford GT reducing boost and adding weight making it significantly slower than ever before. The Corvette had a .4 restrictor reduction and weight removed making it nearly as fast as it was at Daytona. It finished seconds in front of the Corvette. Sit your dumb fucking ass down and shut the fuck up.

it would be better than christmas as an 11 year old if the ecobeast ends up ecocucking the communist FIA by making "le heritage meme" ferrari and the rest of the euro impoverished gte pro class look like they are running flinstones technology compared to "dumb and slow" 'Mericans kek

>>15421133
I don't think it's sandbagging. They can't afford to do that anymore. The CTMP win was because they lucked out in their pit strategy.

They've made massive reductions to it. It finished less than 5 seconds in front of the corvette. You are retarded and have no logical argument.

>>15422340

at least the corvette is all american, and actually on the road

the only thing american about the ford gt is the owner of the team

built and designed by multimatic, a canadian company

what the fuck is anyone supposed to say?

the tt v6 is the same engine that's been used in daytona prototypes for years. OH FUCK we're supposed to be surprised that it's reliable and capable of endurance racing

OH FUCK ford designed a carbon fiber car that is beyond the design of anything else on the field and will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars more than anything else in its class

FUCK am i surprised that this car is dominating now that they've worked out all the bugs

but ford still hasn't shipped a single car to a customer, and if you notice they will never classify the car as 'american' because they know it isn't.

shit, at least ferrari/bmw/chevrolet/etc aren't such tryhards just to get a bit of weak PR and they can actually sell the cars that they're racing

>>15422386
>designed by multimatic
Wrong. They're building the car not designing it, dumbass. The Ford GT's design is from Americans.

So can Ford, what's your point?

They're not even building the car, they're manufacturing the monocoque.

>>15422448

>design is from americans

oh man that's convenient, considering how many prototype cars MM has designed and built that are very similar to the ford gt (they've been the sole design/constructor of the ford daytona prototype since 2002)

yeah, keep drinking that ford kool-aid

Are you fucking retarded? The car was designed by Ford's performance division, multimatic had nothing to do with the design.

>Multimatic Engineering has prepared the racing version of Ford’s GT supercar using in-house, global expertise in aerodynamics, simulation, vehicle dynamics and DSSV damping technology, and fabrication in metallic and composite materials.

you might want to tell them that they were only responsible for the monocoque, they might not have been adequately compensated for their time

ftfy

>>15422581

what does develop mean?

lets look at the definition

>grow or cause to grow and become more mature, advanced, or elaborate.

so they were the reason the gt even exists

>>15422581
ah, sorry. next year = 2018. 2017 is already done and dusted, homologation wise.

what do you even mean by "designed" anymore? if it's developed and built at company X, that means that that company starts with the rules of the class and then develops a car for it. if you mean, like, the way it looks was determined by a guy sitting in front of a computer at Ford, maybe, but the technology of the racecar was developed elsewhere.

>they were the reason the gt exist
No, it was Ford's performance division dumbass. Companies don't just make cars for other companies out of the blue. Ford suggested the idea and designed it and the canadians built it. It was a joint operation.

Ford designed the car. A Canadian company built it.

It's so weird seeing them race on the same track with actual performance cars. They're gigantic and look clumsy.
>>15422521

That just means the ferd costs less to make it track worthy. Plus with all this bop shenanigans it's not the detriment you're making it out to be.

>>15422562
The Ford GT's engine isn't Canadian dumbass. It's a modified F-150 engine

>>15422617
Not that fag, do you have a link explaining what they did to modify it?

>>15422626
The GT's engine comes from Dearborn, Ohio. It's sent to Canada to be moderatly modified. It's overall the same engine though.

Thanks

>>15422316
They'll use a restrictor that will affect the peak horsepower of the engine but the turbo engine is always going to have a better powerband than an NA smallblock v8.

Just look at BMW for example when they had the v8 M3. The cheaper twin turbo straight six produce more torque than the v8 and made large power from 2k rpms up to redline. The m3 you had to get up to 5k rpms before you were really getting some good power to the wheels. Now they use the turbo 6 for the m3 now and upped the boost to have the same peak power of the v8.
