The Matech Ford GT uses a the new Ford Coyote engine built by Roush and makes some pretty big numbers. The car weighs around 2200 pounds ,at least that is what I was told. The Ford GT modular 5.4 with supercharger, intercooler, storage tank, inter cooler pump and lines is one of the reasons a stock one weighs so much (3470 lbs) The Matech car has carbon fiber body work, no bumpers, power this and that no air bags etc. and is as a result about the same weight as a Cobra in a much stiffer structure with really good aero.
