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

Ford dealers cannot sell products that their techs aren't qualified for.

No diesel guy? No selling diesels. :)

That there is a factory born bad-azz!!! I would LOVE to have that!

God help all of you if someone ever turns me loose with one of those! Red-hair, estrogen and 600HP - what could possibly go wrong? :p

Here is Dan Gurney's car, his wife gave it to him for his birthday. The driver in the picture is his son.

IIRC, 1 of 50

Too bad he doesn't drive it more.

A930Rocket 01-12-2015 06:29 PM

I think I'm partial to the first and second generation models. Just looks cool to me.

fred cook 01-12-2015 07:31 PM

New GT
 
Why do they have to mess up a good design? I don't care how fast it is, it is just plain FUGLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And this is coming from a life long Ford fan!

john70t 01-12-2015 07:42 PM

It a pretty radical design change on a historic marque, but I wouldn't kick it out of bed.

Exactly my thought. What a missed opportunity.

HardDrive 01-12-2015 07:54 PM

I don't see anything there that Ferrari/Lamborghini have not already done, and the design language of the original GT is simply gone.

pitargue 01-12-2015 09:41 PM

American cars = V8. Something got lost in translation...

BlueSkyJaunte 01-12-2015 11:22 PM

Meh. I'd take an '04 over a fleet of those.

The heritage GT is my all time favorite, for so many reasons. That new GT looks like a new Corvette had sex with a GT, not good.

Its definitely an interesting design, but I'm not a fan of it either. IMHO, elegance is missing from most of todays car design; brutality is more the norm.

techweenie 01-13-2015 05:52 PM

I think the new GT is one of the most confused designs I've ever seen. It's like someone at Ford had a wall covered with pictures of other 'exotics' and they threw 5 darts, picking up design elements of all 5 to put into one "design." Just nasty.
