Cool little rundown of the new Ford GT and a very convincing comparison on the Mercedes McLaren.

neat article... that Ford GT looks sweet

I second that. Ford GT rocks.

I like how they called Benz out on lying about their engine size, ha!

Mercedes-Benz sucks hardcore (see threads in Infiniti General). The McLaren also looks like a boutique toy.

I really dislike MB right now. I don't like their current styling either. Too...bland. And too...girly. The original 300SL---especially the SLR--is still one of my favorite cars though.

The GT is teh sex! This from a Ford hater.

I've seen some screenshots of GTA: San Andreas, and it'll have something that looks remarkably like a Ford GT (so close, it makes me wonder how they can get away with it without lisencing it). I want the game even more now.

Maybe if they kick out a sequel to Gone in 60 Seconds they'll pit Nick Cage in his classic Shelby against some Euro trash in the new GT.

Note: If producers or writers use this article to create film footage I will sue for millions....and millions of dollars.

I'm writing up a script right now.

And watch out for MR. TOILET!!!!

[MinisterofDOOM]

Like I said...too girly.

But...wait. That's not a McLaren. It's just a regular Mercedes.

[hatebobbarker]

thats the clk gtr isnt it?

[IvoryJ30t]

^^--- no no, the clk-gtr is much better looking than that POS.

[Jesda]

LOL, found the same site I did?

[IvoryJ30t]

hahaha, i think so.

i was gonna post the first picture you did, but i opted for the one i posted.

[HashiriyaS14]

Panda's pic is the CLK DTM AMG.

It is not just a regular CLK with a bodykit, it has more power and is completely stripped inside, CF racing seat and everything. Like $200k or something like that.

CLK-GTR is $2 million...ouch.

[MinisterofDOOM]

Right. But we were talking about MCLAREN MBs. Oh which that's not one. That's all I meant.

But I'm glad he put it there...it helps prove that a widebody kit and rear brake vents still can't save modern MB styling.

[HashiriyaS14]

Oh, I was responding to hatebobbarker.

I sorta like the DTM AMG, but I'm not so sure I'd want to drive one around. At least it comes in manual, unlike 99% of other benz products.

I'm still a fan of the current and previous generation SLs though, can't argue with a Renntech SL74, regardless of whether you like how it looks or not:-D

[MinisterofDOOM]

Yeah, I know that. Im just sort of anti-bling. Actually very anti-bling.

And yeah, I do like that MB is a lux car company who realizes that manual transmission is not an evil thing.

[Mr1der]

yeah, kinda like BMW, Lexus and Infiniti as well as Bentley did

I'd take the GT personally... It's just pure hotness. Well, that and obvious other reasons...

I'm so confused in the world, I don't know when I became a Ford lover...hell, I hated them when I bought the damn T Bird...so so confused...

ah well, I want a new Mustang Cobra when it finally hits...
