    Ordering Process for the new Ford GT

    The engine already has won Daytona 24 this year. I thing that they have priced the car way to high but maybe their plan is not to built many of them. It is priced 120K more than the new Ferrari 488. But the Ferrari will drop in price very fast and the Ford GT should appreciate.

    CAV or SPF GT40?

    You can add manufacturers (ERA/CAV/SPF etc), MK-II vs MK-I, Webers vs Holley, LHD vs RHD and Gulf Colors vs other combinations. All those choices is what makes each of our senseless/useless car fun and unique. One thing that I found with the MK-IV is that is an acquired taste. I used to...

    CAV or SPF GT40?

    Thank you, but I disagree that both are amazing cars. Jimmy's GT sounds sick with Weber (Jim will not like my comments). Now on a serious note: Jim's car is more purist than mine. Wheels are correct, Gurney engine with Webers, Bell housing etc. I have bigger wheels to fit bigger brakes and...

    CAV or SPF GT40?

    Teddy fits on my ERA GT without the Gurney Bubble and I fit with a larger diameter than Teddy without issues. It is sad that ERA shut down production but GT are very hard to sell and costly to built. Specially since it is US built without any government subsidy. Volumes are very small and...

    Ford GT to race Le Mans?

    I do not understand your response. The MK-II won 123 in Le Mans in 1966 were ford sponsor. The French Blue GT40 MK-II behind the Ferrari was Ken Miles car that should have won but due to Ford 123 finish the McLaren GT40MK-II that started back to Miles car had traveled a longer distance so it...

    Ford GT to race Le Mans?

    I got my daughter in lease a Ford Escape 4WD with 1.6 Ecoboost engine and it moves very good but if you are not careful the fuel miles go down very fast similar range to our 3.7 Edge (16MPG). The Corvette, Aston and Ferrari are street cars converted to race cars. the ford GT is a race car with...

    Ford GT to race Le Mans?

    You are right but I would not use the word cute. In prototypes (Porsche, Audi and Toyota) word would not have a chance for instant success but in GTE Pro against "street cars" with a race car like the new Ford GT should have a much better chance. With the experience they have from the US...

    It's Official - New GT

    It is a different world. F1 are V6 hybrids, Le Mans winner are Diesel and Daytona 24 hours winner is a Ford V6 (by the way the same engine on the GT). If it wins at Le Mans you might change your opinion of a V6

    It's Official - New GT

    CNBC is reporting that the new Ford GT will be a 250 car production at $400K each for delivery in the second haft of 2016. I think that Ford missed the boat and should have built a rear engine turbo to compete in the Alfa Romeo 4c size and price range or maybe do both. Dealers that are lucky...

    It's Official - New GT

    You do not have to sell me on a Ford cars, I own 8 Ford powered cars. The sales of original GT (MK-I to MK-IV) usually sells below Ferrari from the same era. 2005-06 Ford GT are selling above the original retail ($240K and up). The 2005-06 GT was a much simple car to built than the new GT...

    It's Official - New GT

    I visited a large Ford Dealer in 2007 in Tampa to buy a GT500 and he had two Ford GT (Gulf colors and White) at discounted prices. Even in 2008 the GT in magazines were not selling. The GT500 were selling with 10 to 20K premium just because it had the magic Shelby name. This is not the case...
