„I am driving a Ford at the moment and rather a fine event it is every time I turn the key, every journey brims with sensation, but then my Ford is a Mustang GT V8 4.6 Premium cabriolet. Strange, and rather sadly, the car hardly has the Ford name visible anywhere on the exterior. There is no oval Blue badge and all that can be seen is some very low relief Fordish wording cast into the round boot mounted chrome thing and some 'made by Ford with pride' stickers on the rear side windows.“

2007 Ford Shelby GT announced; on sale in January (#)

„The 4.6-liter, 325-horsepower Ford Shelby GT will occupy a niche between the Mustang GT and the Ford Shelby GT500 both in terms of performance and appearance. It is a retail version of the Ford GT-H “ the Shelby and Ford Racing-prepared Mustang developed for Hertz that was the surprise hit of the 2006 New York International Auto Show. "We know the combination of Mustang and Shelby is magic, and we proved it again when we revealed the Ford Shelby GT-H for Hertz ...“

Ford Shelby GT - RSportsCars.com (#)

„The Shelby GT driving dynamics are fine tuned with the Ford Racing Handling Pack, which was developed by the same engineers that developed the Ford Racing FR500C, which won the 2005 Grand-Am Cup Championship. New coil springs drop the overall ride height by an inch-and-a-half for a more aggressive stance and reduced body roll. Stiffer dampers and front sway bar further enhance cornering feel and body control.“

Ford GT - RSportsCars.com (#)

„Although the new production car and the original race car both share the mystique of the Ford GT name, they do not share a single dimension. The new car is more than 18 inches longer and stands nearly 4 inches taller. Its new lines draw upon and refine the best features of Ford GT history and express the car’s identity through modern proportion and surface development.“

At the 2003 Monterey Historic Automobile Races - Popular Mechanics (#)

„For racing fans in the 1960s, few cars occupied our thoughts, haunted our dreams and had a permanent space in our fantasy garages like the Ford GT-40. From 1966 to 1969, the GT-40 won four consecutive 24 Hours of Le Mans and proved Ford could beat Ferrari--consistently. The GT-40 won all of the world's major endurance races and brought Ford the Manufacturer's World Championship in 1968.“

GM contemplates mid-engine Corvette (#)

„Then there's the (Gag me) Saleen S7, looks cool but costs way too much and has no strong street cred, like the Viper. The Ford GT (GT-40 MkV) is going out but was the car to beat, though not live with (The Vette won that easily while staying tight on the GT's bumper), those are the most obvious, I know I missed one or two.“

Karl on Cars (#)

„   It's amazing how a good drive to a great car show can brighten a potentially dreary weekend. I planned to attend this show last weekend, but my car was too dirty and I instead spent last Sunday morning detailing the Ford GT for several hours. I really needed a distraction this weekend, and the self-named Supercar Sunday provided it. It was only my third trip to this West Valley show, but there were hundreds of beautiful (and rare) automobiles.“

PM Automotive Excellence Awards 2007 - Popular Mechanics (#)

„Here™s a car that started life as another Mustang, and can be bought at your neighborhood Ford dealer, yet can run with many of the world™s superexotics.

2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 vs. Ford GT vs. Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe - Road Test & Review - Automobile Magazine (#)

„As we round a long left-hand bend, we spot a suitable roadside parking space and stop the Viper, brakes sizzling, engine gently ticking after its exertions. Next up is the Ford GT. We have been working our way up to this one, because it has 550 hp, lacks stability aids, and is mid-engined. Just as we fire up the supercharged 5.4-liter DOHC V-8 engine, the rain starts to fall harder.“

„But with its redesign and performance upgrade, the Corvette finally rates as a supercar in seemingly every way but price. The 'Vette undercuts the Porsche 911 by $25,000, the Dodge Viper by nearly 40 grand, the Ford GT by $100,000 and your basic Ferrari by around, oh, 150 grand (give or take).“
