The 2022 Ford GT (US $660,845 when purchased) is so much more than a pretty face designed in a wind tunnel. It has a twin turbo V6 with 660 horsepower, lots of weight saving carbon fibre, and a rapidly-deploying suspension drop system along with an active rear wing that is as functional as it is dramatic. But how does it stack up against a 2023 Corvette C8 Z06 ($164,505 as specced in the US, $189,027 in Canada) which is but a fraction of the cost and has a high-revving naturally aspirated V8? Thomas and James put these two marvels of American engineering to the test. We hope you enjoy the episode! Thanks for watching. SUBSCRIBE!

    I was passed a couple of months ago on the 407 in Toronto by a Ford GT and then spent 10 mins explaining to my passengers the significance of it. It is truly beautiful.
  • I mean...at a 1/4 of the price. The true feat of this video is how chevy engineers made that and kept it so "cheap" and it can hang with 500k cars
  • How the GT looks (and sounds) in real life is hard to describe. I've never heard or seen anything as head turning as that car, not even close. The thing is incredible.
  • The new Ford gt kept as close to the original styling as they could, also there is only 1 gt colored in mystic chrome. The fact that Ford basically took a ecoboost truck engine or Mustang engine and made it run with other hyper-cars that have a v8, 10, 12, and even 16 cylinder engines is phenomenal.
  • I think the Dodge Viper ACR also deserves an honorable mention. Especially for the time that it was sold.
  • @TimeBucks
    Conclusion was quite literally perfect
  • It was an honor to be part of the build of the Ford GT40. I worked on each and every one of them, and they are truly a masterpiece
  • Beautiful camera work. That bumper cam on the GT, showing the sun reflecting off of the wheel during golden hour, simply stunning!
  • @TheSlowoldman
    I absolutely adore the Ford GT, and I'm in no way a modern Chevy guy, but that C-8 Z06 is a piece of work...... the sound when Thomas is revving it at the start of the drag race...... insane.... and to think it's available at a fraction of the price of the GT, that's just mind blowing.
  • I first saw the GT at an auto show a few years back. Pictures do not do it justice, you have to see it up close. Unbelievably beautiful car. I have seen a few C8's on the road, and the same goes as it does for the GT, it looks so much better in person. I only wish Dodge still had the Viper ACR so each American brand is represented. Great job guys.

    At 10 minutes in, I'm just loving the energy, the admiration, the cinematography. I'm late to the party but I'm loving this film!
  • @scottb80
    The Corvette is an insane car for the price and I think people are starting to take notice. Lately (this spring), I've been seeing a lot more C8 and C8 ZO6s in my area.
  • So this is our Christmas present? Lol thank you guys so much for everything, You guys do, honestly if you guys were in Florida I’ll let you review all of our cars because any video from you guys are just exceptionally well, thank you guys and happy holidays!!! 🎁
  • @BoomTharis
    “It’s pouring information syrup into my brain…”

    i’m actually amazed how you came up with that James 😂
  • @WayApp
    Two of the most iconic American supercars going head-to-head, it doesn't get any better than this!🔥🔥
  • @IPGAuto
    15:55 iconic photo. Ford GT, Corvette Z06, and the Ferrari that GM based the C8 Corvette off of.
  • This video is next level. The intro with the record scratch flashback… the rapid cuts of both of the flat plane crank whine-songs. Holy cow guys. Wow. Throttle House masterpiece
  • @N54B30BMW
    I just realised this after watching this video repeatedly.
    7:34 how the sun is reflected in the wheel and how the reflection is changed by the changing angle is a beautiful shot. Whoever did this should get an award. It's really good!
  • The way the Ford gt is described was beautiful. I could feel what you felt through verbiage. Very well put.... great video guys.
