Ford GT for real! - PDenbigh - 03-18-2004
Hey MM,
I just found out some interesting news, spoke to G, and he told me to post it here. So I'm not trying to brag, etc, but I know that a group of enthusiasts would enjoy sharing the excitement.
Ford allots its dealers a certain allocation of vehicles, everything from the New F-150's, to the Focus. Depending on how the dealership has done in competitions and incentive programs, Ford adjusts the Allocation.
Well, I just found out that our dealership (my family's in WV) just got allotted one (1) Ford GT, in any color we want. This is one of the 4 Dealerships in the entire WV/OH region. Ford isn't letting anyone but the dealers (and their family) test drive the GT (for obvious reasons), but we're lucky enough to have a father that owns the place.
The car is due in sometime this Spring. Anyhow, I get to drive one, and I'm so excited that I'm shaking. I'll be sure to take tons of pictures. I wish I could share this experience with everyone, and believe me I would if I could. G will vouch for me there.
So there's the post, hope everyone gets a little excited over it!
I think the dealership will have an unveiling event. If so, You are all invited. If you are interested in coming, I'll post details here.

Ford GT = hot.
The original is one of the best cars of all time and Im a huge fan of the new one.
Im still pissed they priced it in the Ferrari range though.

I'm very interested, let us know when you have more details!

There are some great video's of it on the Ford website. Next time there's a MM Gathering, I have a DVD of the making of the "The one" video, and it talks about how the guy was going 140 and "Just getting into 4th gear."
From the initial sample, it looks like there will be a reasonable interest in visiting. I'll let you know what plans develop and the schedule!

hock: where's that big middlefinger pic RJ and everyone was posting to Mike the other day? :lol: Kidding Pete, that's way cool that you get a test drive of that car. I bet it's nuts. :twisted:
What color are they going to get? Get him to do like hot pink with red and green racing stripes so the dealer will have it FOREVER for you to play with. :wink:

That's a Ford-style trick to increase gas mileage numbers.

If you want it to go 200mph you wont do it with a 4.9:1 Final Drive

Good deal man, its a hell of a vehicle but just a bit out of price for my opinion
- Mike - 03-18-2004
What is MSRP among other numbers?
- .RJ - 03-18-2004
$150K, i have read stories of dealers putting anywhere between $20 and $50K markup on them.
- Mike - 03-18-2004
lol! I couldn't see paying 30k for a Ford product.

What if it were a Ford rocketship
? Besides, I'd hate to be rolling down the front straight at VIR in my 360 and have a GT fly by and suck my Rossa Corsa paint off...
