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?

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

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!

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.

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

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.

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.
