Andrew L Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 This is my favorite car of all time. I had NFS2 growing up and I raced with this car and used to sit in the showcase learning about it. I remember finding out some interesting facts about it. The V12 I believe was based on 2 InTech V8s they welded together with 2 cylinders cut off each to get to 12. They tested the V12 on a Town Car on Ford's Proving Grounds to see how it ran and held up. There's a video of Jeremy Clarkson driving it on the old Top Gear in the 90s and he states the turbos aren't hooked up but you could still hear them spinning. Ford claimed 250+ MPH top speed but most sites have it listed for 235 not sure what the actual top speed it. I know it's out in Oklahoma I want to go out there and see it in person one day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We gots roads (some of 'em are even paved) and gas stations and a city with two airports named after guys who died in a plane crash. We're even getting the Intarwebz next week. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackinaw Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I remember seeing the GT 90 at the Detroit Auto Show back in 1995. Used Ford's "New Edge" design language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds adventurous, but I'm gonna have to hold off until you get a third airport named after someone who died in a plane crash. Third time's the charm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeluxeStang Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 When we inevitably get a new gt 10-15 years from now, I hope they pull some influence from the gt90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in OK last year for work. Up in Bartlesville. Talk about the middle of no where. I wanted to drive over to Ames were it was but didn't have enough time.

I'm pretty sure the directions to get there are "go to the end of the Earth and hang a left." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
