Mustang GTD
Cool car, limited run, 300K buy-in; made for rich guys with connections to get richer, like first-buyers of the last Ford GT.

Shhhh...Mustang considered bad here. Just ask a certain urpeen poster...he'll tell ya a 2007 Cayman is far superior to any Mustang.

The GT500s are seriously quick.
But - and here’s the rub - it’s still a Mustang. They attract a certain demographic - one that considers a Corvette to be an aspirational automobile. |

Maybe it looks better in person and a different color, but for 300 K, there’s a lot of other cars I would buy before it.
Not that I have to worry about it. |

Nothing wrong with that car fire can't fix. Can't imagine the audience for this car.

Ah, it’s a bit much. I’m sure it’s incredible but not sure I would drive other than to a car show. A bit over the top for real living. I think my wife would duck down, heck I might too. Not a Mustang thing, I feel the same way about Some of the new 911’s. Gt3rs for example. I’m actually a big mustang fan, just not this one.

It’s pretty fast, but I agree, similar to the new GT3RS’s I do not think it drive it on the street.
Cool though and yo had to submit a video on why Ford should pick you, so it wasn’t all about who has the most $. |

Primarily a track machine...street versions are bragging rights toys. The Lemans finish was pretty impressive considering a first year effort.

IMO it looks like a Japanese tuner car. No thanks.

It is more subtle than a current GT3RS.

I am sure it is amazing. The styling doesn't appeal to me from this picture. Peter called it, looks like a Japanese Tuner car.

$300k with a Mustang interior? Sure....great deal.

Profit is rather unaffected when Government regulation limits supply. Profit just gets spread across fewer units.

I have to agree with some of the other comments - it looks cartoon-ish. Is this car intended for adults? The GT3RS is a bit over the top as well.

All a moot discussion. I'm sure all are sold by now....more "applications" than cars to be made in order to fit the race rules.
