ford gt or porsche carrera gt engine? I need your help to choose one.

[battlebotrock]

I know a friend who has a friend and his older brother destroyed both the ford gt and the Porsche, except the engine and the transmissions on both cars, and here is the hard part. I can choose an engine and I can have it for free!!!!!!!!! That includes the transmission too!!!!!!!! So I need your help to choose one. Ok?

Umm...What are the ages of both of the cars and displacements?

[kibble]

What are you planning on using the engine for?

gt is big and powerful while porshe is smaller and weaker

methinks porshe cause it could have a bigger community behind it. so more help and stuff

the Porshe is is 19 years old and had 5,000 miles on it. Engine- V10, Displacement-57333cc, Max power 612bhp@8,000rpm, Transmission-six speed manual with two plate ceramic dry clutch,0-60- 3.8secs, 0-100- 6.9secs, Max speed- 205mgh.
the ford gt is six years old and has 5,500 miles on it. Engine-all aluminum V8 supercharged, Displacement-5409cc, Max power 500bhp@6,000rpm, Max torque-500lb ft@4,500, Transmission-six speed manual, 0-60 -3.7secs, 0-100 -8.3, Max speed 200mpr. I hope that is enough info for you!
PS. the max torque for the Porshe is 435lb ft@5,750rpm
if I get the porshe or the ford gt engine I am going to make a go kart strong enough to handle the speed.

I would suggest more of a buggy than a go cart! lol Sandrail anyone?

I would go with the ford just cause Im more of a ford guy myself.
and Who else has a ford GT buggy?

porshe might be easier to get it to work (less electronics and stuff) but the ford is smaller and has more torque which is what you want
