Pretty cool video.

On a side note the Ford GT looks tiny compared to the Challenger setting up behind it. Makes me think of the first time I was able to walk up to one and see how high that sucker came up on me.

Amazing.

With such a lazy leave, it's even more amazing that it hit 174 in the 1/4.....

The launch is not very important to MPH since this isn't a timed event. I can't imagine leaving the line with 2000+hp to the normal-sized rear tires with 1st gear that tops 100mph.

Exactly.

Obviously the launch doesn't mean a thing there, but to see it pull away like grandma's Corolla and still blast a 174 MPH quarter is damn impressive. Has to be quite the ride.

I think 300 Mph is a dreamer time.

I like cars that can race successfully on a race track. The handling and brakes are just important as a top speed.

I'd say the 2019 Ford GT is good as it's older cousins that won Le Mans in 1966 and 2016. Anything else is fake news.
