How did Ford build the GT in 18 months? Why did they create a new truck segment with the Raptor, and how has that thinking bled over to Land Rover? Jamal Hameedi is the answer.
He is the Director of Special Vehicle Operations at Jaguar Land Rover and the reason Land Rover is debuting the fastest and most exciting Defender to date: the Octa. Before he joined JLR, he was the Chief Performance Engineer and head of SVT at Ford. It was under his eye that Ford made both generations of the Ford GT, decided to build the first Raptor, and launched numerous Shelby Mustangs.

23:10 - For those that don't remember : The Ford GT was an interesting animal as far as how it sold toward the end of it's run. I remember two of them showing up at Kenny Ross Ford on Route 88 in Pittsburgh after around 2006. The dealer put them out proudly in the front by the road for everybody to see (and absolutely to get people to impulse buy them!). But then they sat... and sat... and sat some more. Kenny Ross ended up putting money on the hood to get them to move (I wanna say they got them down like 100k before they then vanished from the front of the dealership... I also stopped when I could and checked the prices lol). Whoever picked those Kenny Ross GT's up back in the mid-2000's... boy did you make your money back!

So, in reference to the SVT Contour at 1:14:45, the car needed more power, suspension tunability, and a better differential. I have a 2000 SVT, with a 3L Taurus Duratec V6, Mfactory LSD, custom rear control arms to add more rear camber, and cut out the tops of the strut towers to weld in a plate to accept 240SX camber/caster plates. Those were the 3 things that made the biggest difference in the car.

I can't wait for the day that real gauges are a premium, luxury car benefit, and then those cars depreciate to the point that I can actually afford one. Real gauges FTW. Screens just, suck.

I don't know what the hell he's talking about regarding farmers buying raptors. Let's please not call these anything but what they are, a performance-oriented novelty. How many M5 owners are going on the track? These are usually driven by well to do contractors

@alex199273 20 күн бұрын

Farmers have deep pockets and they don't have time to be upgrading a regular truck for what they need. This truck came straight from factory to tackle some of the needs they encounter for everyday use. Central California is huge on farming and sometimes you are 5 - 10 miles deep into off-road terrains. Regular trucks can't do well on high speeds and I've seen plenty get stuck on mud during rain seasons. Shoot, I've even seen Raptors pull out tractors, just because it was labeled a performance truck doesn't mean it can't be used for daily work when they clearly can get the job done. It might be a novelty to you and others, but for farmers, it became an off the shelf tool. And no, I’m not saying all farmers should use one, but the ones who bought one, truly took advantage of its capabilities.

I would love to ask this fella why people with 6 l diesel Ford pickup trucks got screwed not once but twice when their motors blow up that left a very bad taste a very very very very very bad taste in my mouth not a cheap fix and after the second time the head gasket blew I had to sell the truck when the motor gets wet twice its junk
