everyone is ferrari biased, the 575M is the equal of vanq, and the vanq was a better car than the 550 maranello, plus, i'm sure that the exhaust note on vanq is easily the finest in the world (don't take my word, a number of publications have made the same proclamation).

And as far as ford goes, the vanq's V12 is directly derrived from the cosworth developed 5.9L V12 used in the ford GT90 concept car, and that engine was composed of two ford 3.0L V6 blocks (it had it's own casting of course, but the engine was identical to the 3.0L V6 made twice as long, except of course for cosworth's modifications to the heads).
