fordmantpw Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I was going to put my name on the list, but my wife wouldn't let me sell the house and the kids so we could live in the car. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BORG Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) This seems absolutely bonkers to me, this is more expensive than any Lamborghini, Ferrari, BMW, Mercedes, et.al. I have the impression that Ford is just selling this as a museum piece and not as an actual functioning world class supercar. It'll be interesting to see how this performs, assuming Ford lets reviewers play with any of them. Edited April 13, 2016 by BORG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well given how far off the mark your impressions have been....I think you might need to remove the foot out of your mouth now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Where do you put in your x plan pin number? True story - back in 2005 as I was picking up my Fusion my local dealer had a yellow GT on the showroom floor with 3 good old boy salesmen standing close by. I told them I'd be right back with my X plan pin and one of them pulled out an ink pen and said "this is the only pen you'll be needing for that car"....... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new GT should cost less than what a 2005 Ford GT would cost today and be a much better car. Will there be a "Red Carpet Lease" option on the new GT?

If anything, a new GT should drive the prices down....a little. I remember at the end of the production run, some dealers where having a hard time moving them...but then again the country was sliding into the worse recession since 193's too.

BORG Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I'm just concerned that the incredible price tag doesn't come with equivalent capability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanh Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Borg...Ive been following it in the Rolex, then Sebring...car raced is actually DE-tuned from the street version to a mere 600 hp...the car is FAST barring a few mechanical glitches, but its basically being tested for its ultimate goal Le Mans. The class its racing in has Ferraris and Porsches along with SERIOUS Corvettes....its as quick as any, even with its handicap....so, its got the capabilities for sure....
