# You’re Full of Shit: A Drunken Argument About the New Ford GT

So *The Drive*’s chief auto critic Lawrence Ulrich and editor-at-large A.J. Baime walk into a bar…

Our guys had been out all day, tearing through Southern California, chasing a Volkswagen GTI in the new [Chevy Volt](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/396/chasing-a-volkswagen-gti-in-the-new-chevrolet-volt>). Then, they had a little disagreement. A.J. has seen the forthcoming 2016 Ford GT and thinks it’s a game-changer, both as a road and race machine. Lawrence, who has also seen the car, is duly unimpressed. Things got heated.

**The Drive**

Some background: A.J. *literally*

[wrote the book](<https://www.amazon.com/Go-Like-Hell-Ferrari-Battle/dp/0547336055/ref=as_li_ss_tl?tag=drive09e6-20&ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&linkId=2ddb00562b131c34ca9082c55eab3bb8&language=en_US>) on the old Ford GT, which famously won Le Mans in 1966. Lawrence, documented [man of the people](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/369/sorry-friends-but-the-tesla-model-x-isnt-progress>), was on the debate team in high school and can hold his liquor with aplomb.

Sixteen beers. Two goliaths. One supercar.

The automotive barstool debate is back.
