👍 I get it -the opposite reason why I haven't changed my Avatar😎

Or at the very least go the hypercar route where you can at least tie some aspects of that race car into a road car in terms of design. With Ford's current strategy, only racing in programs that are directly linked to, and benefit road cars, I kinda have a hard time getting behind this. Unless they were already considering doing another gt or something, but I find that highly unlikely.    As much as I'd love to see Ford fighting for the overall win at races like Le mans again, I just feel like there are better racing programs to invest in. Ford wants to bring back the RS brand, and do more off-roading. It seems like trying to do a new RS 200 for rally racing would make more sense than something like this. Just my two cents. 

Ah I didn't want to keep using a handle from a crappy car I owned 20+ years ago  

No argument..like I said, "much easier to plan your future". But I'm not talking about "auto markets", I'm talking about a specific commercial market. And by the way, why did you change your "handle"??🤔

Hah..I guess so.  Seems simple doesn't it?  What should be a relatively easy addition to the spec list is ignored and that addition would open up another market. I will spare you all the reasons why it makes sense..you have heard it before....so just humor me.   Standing on that "hill" was what I was known for in my 44 yr career. Did I get a bloody nose every now and then?...yep!😎  But better than folding your tent when you know you are making sense.   PS At least I'm not saying Ford should be back in class 8!

Yea, same here. I went to the IMSA BOTB event at Indianapolis Motor Speedway last September and it seemed to me the GTD and GTD Pro class cars got more attention from fans during the fan walk than the GTP and LMP2 class cars  

Sounds to me that Hemi engine came up as a question from Motor1 during interview, and his reply was worded carefully as if question was anticipated.  Electrical incompatibility makes sense, but eTorque not being available not so much.  RAM could just reintroduce standard Hemi without eTorque, couldn’t they?   I can see why some RAM fans want the Hemi back.  The standard Hurricane isn’t significantly more fuel efficient, and requires more expensive premium fuel to achieve rated power.  The high output Hurricane costs more, burns more fuel, and requires premium.  And buyers who want economy will still choose Pentastar V6.  The Hurricane doesn’t seem to solve much of anything, other than maybe slight emissions reduction that apparently many buyers couldn’t care less about.   RAM CEO may have also left door cracked on Hemi to buy time until they can fix Hurricane problems and or buyers get used to twin-turbo small-displacement engines as occurred with F-150.  I’ve never owned a RAM, but if considering, would prefer pushrod V8 over twin-turbo six any day.  That part I can relate to.  Hurricane is too complex and I expect will cost more to own longterm. 

Hmmm. I think this is the first real prototype effort since the old GTP Probe, unless we count the Ford F1 V8s being plugged into Jag GTP cars in the early 90s. Maybe I've missed something, but it seems like a full 3 decades since their last prototype effort.

Not a big fan of prototype racing.  Much prefer GTLM.

Now we know why they discontinued the ecoboost performance pack.
