Spotted one in the med center (Houston) last year. Idk about this paint scheme http://i68.tinypic.com/24yya2c.jpg They had one that color in the showroom of a dealer near my house. Got to crawl all around it while waiting for my car to come out of the Service area before the showroom was technically open. Neat car, but damn that color scheme is ugly. You guys need to learn you some history. That paint scheme is awesome  I really like that paint scheme. If I was to get one, I would strongly consider that scheme. I would get the blue with white stripes because that's my favorite but I would settle for the racing colors if I had to

Ford could (apparently) sell ~7000 of these cars for ~$400k Instead they're going to sell 500 of these cars for ~$400k. Whatever 'rise in value' that happens will not be seen by Ford. That's bad business. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Limited production items that rise in value and create a secondary market. Ford could (apparently) sell ~7000 of these cars for ~$400k Instead they're going to sell 500 of these cars for ~$400k. Whatever 'rise in value' that happens will not be seen by Ford. That's bad business. The limited run is why they can sell for that much. Those people only put in for preorder due to the limited run. Understand? |

How many Ford GTs did they sell last go around 4,038 Ford GTs were built during the 2005-2006 production run. I have been fortunate to own mine since 2007. Ford plans to build more than 500 new GTs. The first 500 owners of the new Ford GT will be chosen through the application process. Production estimates are approximately 250 GTs per year for several years. Ford has not released the exact number of years they will produce the new GT. More information can be found at Ford GT Forum.
Sucks that there are successful people right? |

You realize that the number of cylinders and even the horsepower are arbitrary numbers right? Do we know the actual performance numbers for the car yet? You can have 1000 horsepower and a heavy ass car and get beat by a ariel atom with a turbo 4 banger. |

But the real question is, if he gets one, will it break down right away like the other one did?
ETA - To those saying "well, why not make more" - well, how much is it actually going to cost to make? Supercars are sometimes sold on slim margins or even as loss-leaders to drum up more hype about the core brand. I don't know that this is one of those cases, but they are out there, so just saying "they should just make more" without having a bit more information isn't necessarily a sound conclusion. |

One of my regular clients has an 05 and an 06 in his stable. As well as a GT40
I am sure he is attempting to get one of these as well. The 05/06 are sexy as fuck. That's all I have to say. Pretty sure the GT40 is a kit car build. Still boner-inducing. |

Not really a kit car if his GT40 is a Superperformance car they are built in South Africa on the remaining jigs used to make the original cars. If he has 2 ford GTs then he can probably afford the best of the Nostalgia remakes. Superperformance is the only car good enough that they got the Shelby blessing when he finally figured out he was missing out on a good thing. Superperformance cars tend to come built minus power train, rousch engines are usually the engine matched to the Cobras and you are in 120-130k range by that time. Superperformance is located in Irvine Ca. |
