akirby Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Never been a Corvette fan but that’s pretty damned impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 It is impressive and the price is incredible. Makes the price of the Mustang GTD and GT look ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well on the plus side, the price on Ford GT's seems like it's gradually coming down. For a few years, it felt like you wouldn't see a GT sell for under a million on the used car market. You're starting to see some of them sell for high 700, low 800k in recent months. If the release of insane mid-engine cars like this results in other used mid-engine high performance cars like the gt becoming more obtainable, you won't see me complaining.

DeluxeStang Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 I feel like Ford needs to respond. With a GTD R with like 1,000 hp, or some sort of next gen Ford GT, some sort of halo model that really takes the fight to GM here. The c8 seems like it's been a massive win for GM's pocketbook, and it's reputation. The GTD is awesome, but I believe Ford can go even further. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is still double what they cost new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno-all I can see is dealerships adding a 100% ADM on them (being completely unaware of how they are being sold to customers). I see no reason why GM shouldn't be selling this car for $250-300K. Ford sold every single GTD and GT they made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearheadGrrrl Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Ford kills the GT and gives us warmed over Mustangs, the accountants are happy while the fantasies of a Mustang win at LeMans are best forgotten. Meanwhile, GM bets big with world class "Vettes starting with a base model selling for not much more than a Mustang V8 up to million dollar fast for a fifth the price. The Mustang's selling points are down to a thousand pound tow rating, a tiny back seat, and the Ecoboost Mustang's economy that you can't even get a manual with... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually firmly believe Ford is gonna develop a next gen Ford gt to align with the timeline of them going back to le mans in 2027 for the overall win. Now whatever road car they make won't be as close to the road car, seeing as GT3 style race cars are basically modified road cars, and prototype hypercars are far more radical and harder to translate to a road car. But I could totally see Ford taking the powertrain from their le mans hypercar, which we now know is gonna be a hybrid V8, and tweaking that to make it work well in a road car, and then maybe taking some styling cues from the prototype racer as well. So I don't believe Ford is giving up on the idea of doing a next gt, or investing in the mustang, they're just doing it where it makes the most sense. If Ford goes back to le mans, and especially if they take the overall win, it would be insane not to make a new gt to cash in on that.

rmc523 Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 GM sure does like their uninspiring alphanumeric trim names. Nothing gets me more excited than the Corvette ZRXY51-RXT4-D! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
