> Ford wants to use a new supercar to take another crack at Le Mans, after considering some other possible alternatives. Substantiating these musings are reports that a Blue Oval rep was reportedly on hand for a recent meeting about 2016 GTE-Class rules, according to Road and Track. That would put the new GT in the same racing class as the Corvette, Ferrari 458 Italia, Porsche 911 and others. > **[Ford GT to be revived, Le Mans battle upcoming - Autoblog](https://www.autoblog.com/2014/10/05/ford-gt-revived-le-mans-battle-upcoming/)** > > Ford dominated the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 1966 to 1969, scoring four consecutive wins.

The way I see it lol is sports car, up to 200mph , super car 200-250 hyper car 250+ but that’s just my .02 and I don’t mean their theoretical top speed either or “it will eventually hit 200” Sent from my iPhone 6 ---

Semantics eesh, how about Icon car? I don’t give a shit really I just like driving cars that are bad ass. I’d rather drive my boosted Cavalier then 95% of the cars out anyways. Both my Corvette and Viper will do over 200mph… I just want to choose from one of these as I wake up Saturday morning to get a coffee and beat on Sat night. 😉 ![](http://image.automobilemag.com/f/6690191+w1280+h853+q100+re0+cr1+ar0/0511_900_z06_gt_viper%2bchevrolet_corvette_z06_and_ford_gt_and_dodge_viper_srt10_coupe%2bvarious_front_views.jpg) ---

Especially because I’m young so every person who saw me would just assume I’m a rich kid and yell “faggot” at me or assume I’m some type of gay faggot. At least in a stock civic I could drive to work and the grocery store without everyone assuming I bang dudes and shit.
