    the GT and its predecessor, 4 time Le Man winner the GT 40 are two of the best looking cars, ever.

          No one wants to spend 100k+ on a Ford. I dont blame them.

            Jeremy from Top Gear ordered one.. it arrived late.. and broke down constantly.. not to mention, was a huge pig on gas. Still looks cool though

              If I owned one, it could be as big a pig on gas as it wanted to be, as I would of taken it into consideration before buying

                  Ford should come out with an electric version to compete with the Chevy Volt...

                          I actually saw one of these on my way into Oakville a few years back.. it was sitting on the side of the road. As best I could decipher.. the driver tried to go through a T intersection.. on a left hand turn.. a bit too quickly .. and slid it right onto a curb.. thus folding the wheels on the passenger side underneath the car. I felt bad for the car.. but not the driver.

                                          It has been approved for production with both electric and gas versions.

                                            A good friend owns one. I took this pic of our cars on a river cruise a few years back.

                                                The same fellow owns this one too. It is the actual GT40 that beat Enzo at LeMans.

                                                  Awesome car for a jew hating nazi who never suffered once. Have you read his book by the way?

                                                    Not having lived during his era makes it impossible to know what the world was like during those years. I have read a lot about the man, but not his book. I remain more interested in his engineering prowess and entrepreneurial drive than his politics.

There you have a system to blame, when it's one man promoting hate propaganda you know who to point the finger at. That's why business's incorporate now, so they can hid behind that. Next mission should be to get them too though

I know a few people who have them and put Twin Turbos or more and they scream but build quality is like a focus.

I have a 3 year old and drive her around, so I wasn't super concerned about being the baddest mofo on the street anymore. As she gets older, that will probably change. It's been a good car to me, and is quick enough to enjoy when out by myself.
