That's too bad. By exotic car standards, the GT was a bargain. IMHO it was cooler than any Mustang and better looking in person than the current crop of Ferrari's.

 

An exotic FORD? Bargain? Huh? That thing sold for $150K+ and was a huge turd with all the recalls, mechanical failures, etc.

 

Rich people don't need to be in there right mind... actually they don't need a mind at all, and many don't.

 

I used to work for Ford, and I think it's a good car. It definitely is better than the Z06 in terms of performance, most magazines think the Z06 is fast but scary because the suspension isn't sorted out. It's not twice as fast, but once you get past $100K you start running into diminishing returns. The GT can be driven fast by just about anyone and it's won practically every shootout it's been in against cars like the Viper, 360 Modena, and Lambo Gallardo. Just because it's out of our reach doesn't mean that it was a mistake for Ford or doesn't deserve to exist. They used some cutting edge manufacturing processes to build the car in incredibly low volumes and IMO they handled the recalls with transparency and as well as they could. Working for Ford, the GT was worth its cost to develop since many of the techniques like semisolid forging and the 5.4L supercharged engine (which will go in the Cobra for $40K) will make it to production models. Also, from the inside, the effect on morale was worth twice the price, for the cost of a relatively small television ad campaign, Ford was able to prove to themselves and the world that they could still build and design a world class car.

 

.................it would still be just an evo.

 

Good!! I rather take a Z06 or Porsche TT or GT3 for much less...

 

umm...3 GT's in BFE, ohio? that's a little hard to believe.

 

serious, its not in BFE though, they are in Akron and their fathers either own Raytheon or 12 Dealerships...
