Wicked looks. Indeed hope they run LeMans with it. Good with them limiting on the cube's but with big hp. V6 pushing 600hp. Suspended with Doktor Porsche's torsion springies.

I predict a sucking sound coming from those Gen 1 owners who thought they bought the equivalent of a Mercedes 300SL Gullwing.

^^When you say Gen 1, do you mean the 2004 ish? That one was definitely on my top list for looks but lacked the glory and hoopla of LeMans. Maybe some of the endurance racers can pipe in but I believe one large issue was a weak trans.
Although today and classifications are getting loopy, but if Ford's latest makes a go and cleans up at LeMans, I think buyers in this narrow market will lean towards Ford vs Ferrari. But Ford first has to prove it. My question is, what Ford dealer is qualified or able to service it? And then the whole issue of that tub repair. Yikes. Ferrari dealer techs are used to it and race orientated. This stuff isn't like old days just a pretty skin wrapped around a thumping V8 and mechanical transmissions.

I don't think you can touch an original Ford GT for $350k, so those guys did ok.
I like the new one. Ford has their stuff together. |

Yep 2004ish. Beautiful car and closer in design to the original than the latest rig.

2006 Ford GT GT for $299,000 in TORONTO | autoTRADER.ca
About $250KUS. In fairness though, the Canadian ones cannot be exported to the US or vice versa. Different crash test protocols which I find totally ridiculous but that's another thread.

I think a few people paid the original MSRP of +-$135K before the speculators showed up. I thought Leno had one. Clarkson had one too. Not sure what he paid but he created a whole TopGear episode about the car alarm.

The 2004ish is on my short list of must have vehicles if I win the mega lottery, although this new one looks awfully good , and appears to be more potent.
Other cars on my short list would be a Shelby Cobra, 63 Ford Thunderbolt, 70 Boss 302, 70 240Z, 68 Hemi Dart, and maybe something Italian like a 550 Maranello. |

See if the Ferrari guys can take care of it for you
