Tease :laugh: is Moab the official name for the HT2?
Yes...and the 4 seater version will be the Mojave
Yes but our partner for the show let us down at the 11th hour....
I know this is a dumb question why did ford stop making the GT?
This is exactly how the GT-R looks but with even better body lines and gaps
Ford stopped the GT because the car would no longer pass the roof/rollover test being implemented in 2007

Thanks for the pics Fran. Especially that 3rd one. It has a bit more artistic flare to it.
I have dug through as much Robertson Racing content as I can find on Google.
Pics are always nice, but its the mechanicals and engineering aspects that keep me coming back! I am still probably 3-4 years out before I get back to Florida and can start up on my next big build project. So for know I tinker with my Mustang and Cobra and dream about bulding a GT/GT40. I actually like the Idea of building a GT-R better than owning a GT. A lot more freedom to build to my taste, which would be a very spartan race-ready street car. Chrome and polish and gloss don't do much for me, but a nice Terminator or Coyote mid-engine car really gets me going.

Right, I meant chassis bits, suspension, etc ala superlite. I've learned better than to ask for the underbody bits though :laugh:
Wow, you really should be carefull which forum you post that on.:stunned:
I was thinking the same Tom, as Ford has made it official finally. Though some of their "special" engines have had really "special" price tags. The 2014 GT500 is like $32k, the Cobra Jet if preordered was $28k and the XS is at $15k and I think FordGT when available were like $35k. Now these seem right in line with Euro exotics, but that's half the attraction of these cars.....Exotic performance at slightly sub-exotic entry point.
I'd have loved to had the sound of a flat crank, but don't care to be the guinea pig either on install and electronics. I ended up going 2013 T/O GT500. Pulley and a chip should move right along and "look" the part of a Ford GT. So yes, Fran that means I've finally solidified my build strategy and will be in touch very soon
Any additional thoughts on interior options/styles? Or can that be solidified as time progresses since a/m seats option not solidified at moment.

Very cool! I wonder how close the GT-R will be to these cars? That cage looks pretty impressive, but a little hard for big guy to get in and out of.
I did not expect to see all the cast alum parts in the rear suspension.
Wow--really wish I could afford to build one of these.
