Re: 2006 Ford GT info....

No worries Ron, no offence taken. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I think it's perfect timing from Ford to introduce the Gulf colour option now. Sales are starting to slow, initial demand has been met, bring out a trump card or two to increase sales. This would have been the plan from the start.

Found this article and photos of gulf coloured Ford GT(click here). Is this the exact same colour scheme as that seen at Pebble Beach? Interesting that it has roundels.

And honestly I think Ford hit the mark exactly with the Ford GT. Producing a car that gets it's inspiration from a GT40, but is everyway a better and more comfortable car for the street is pure genius.

If someone wants a GT40, they either go buy an original, go buy/build a kit or buy/build a model. All depends on budget, time, motivation, insanity etc. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] If they want a great Ford built sports car that reminds them of a GT40, they buy a Ford GT. Of course some lucky people have combination of the above. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]
