Pretty epic car, too bad it's already sold out. As an aside, I am enjoying Top Gear UK again.

I'm very jealous. That car is on its own level of cool.

I have Amazon Prime so I watch the old crew too. Best of both worlds! In my opinion, you can't have too many good car shows.

However, I'm not sold on a $400k Ford. I think Harris has this right. Unless Ford can show me that the bits are not the same as they put on pickups and Mustangs then I would politely decline even if I had the money. On anther point: my uncle, prior to his death, owned a Ford dealership in a small town of around 3,000 population. When the last GT40 came out, they got 2 for sale. One was through a lottery and the other was for being the best dealership in their size market. They ended up selling both over MSRP. One in particular was bought to a dude that insisted it not be started and only rolled off the carrier and rolled onto the next carrier.

I really enjoy the new Top Gear. Way better without the annoying loudmouth guy from last year. The new TG is not quite as funny as the three masters, but it is very entertaining.

Yea, Ford did a Ferrari move. Sell every single copy of a 400K+ car before production really gets rolling. Zero doubt, there are many people planning on flipping the car and never driving it.

Super cool car but just a commodity at this point. At least the CGT were driven on the street.
