The GT is great. The idea that it has any kind of tangible market influence downstream is definitely bullshit. Just because it makes you tingly in the pants doesn't mean it works magic. It's an excuse for Ford engineering to have something more exciting to work on than Focuses.

I'm sure there's some trickle-down from the TTV6, given that variants of that motor power other Ford products.

But those products came out before the GT. If anything, it was capillary action :lol:
