Today (Sept. 21) Ford had a TV presentaion with interactive action to dealers and managers about the GT. Real neat videos of the factory, cars on the line at Wixom and more. They said Saleen is the paint vendor at an off site location, showed the chassis as they arrive at Wixom and how they finish the cars, complete with an indoor rattle road and water test area.
Big news???
There will only be TWO model years, 05 and 2006!! They are 60 to 90 days behind where they wanted to be...cars are shipping and they expect decent quantities to leave starting October. No distribution policy for 06 has been announced and will not be until December 05. It looks like the often quoted total of 4500 cars will be high...maybe 200K is not out of line...????
They said red is the number one color choice followed by white with all others taking about 10 percent of the totals.
Damn, they looked good on the line.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
