^^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.
