Steve,

You are a DICK!!!

Why didn't you come by here??? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif)

Your former friend,
Paul

Don't blame him - it could just be that you guys don't have the physical attributes that typically look good in the passenger seat of an exotic sports car. For example, did you go for a spin with him in any of the other exotics he's driven?

Steve, I know you have my number, you called yesterday. I guess I'm old news, or you didn't want my SIX around to drown out the sound of that Ford. I just threw your gearshift knob in the trash.

Steve,
last night my friends and I stopped by our local Ford dealer to see the red GT that they have in their showroom, needless to say they had a do not touch sign on the car...I cant believe that you got to drive that awesome machine...I love that car! that's great...they also had a 435 hp Saleen there. They are asking 195K for the GT on Long Island, 56K for the supercharged Saleen, they will get it up here too. I will be down there in a few weeks, maybe your friend needs me to open it up for him, I could probably fit it into my schedule.
you are the man!
nice pics too.
Joe

Paul, Rob and TC

I couldn't decide which one of you to take for a ride because I love you all equally. So I just went by myself. What an awesome automobile. Lots of cars are street cars that people and factorys make them into race cars. The Ford GT is a race car that the factory made street legal.

Wow Steve you are one lucky guy to have friends in high places. What kind of stares & waves did you get from other drivers??

These cars are built locally and I drive by the location whenever I am in the area. There is a Black test mule in my neighborhood. It's so strange to see it all dirty in the parking lot where the guy gets his morning coffee. He treats it like a rental car.

Here's a picture taken this summer at the Woodward Dream Cruise last August at a large FORD display. I love these GT's.

Quote: What kind of stares & waves did you get from other drivers??

That was one of the amazing things that was happening when I was on the interstate. I've never been in a vehicle when everyone in front of me automatically just got out of my way. It was like they saw me coming and they just automatically got in the other lane. And I just flew by everyone. One time I was stopped at a 4 way intersection and a guy in a cement mixer slows down as he is turning in front of me and yells out the window, "Hey what do ya got in that thing?" I responded, "about 600 HP." He yells out, "Yah whoooooooooo"

Me too Tom. A classic combination.

I drove one that my sons uncle has last year down in L.A. traffic. When the room was there it was a blast but, in tight traffic it sucked. Finally got out of the traffic and took it around Palos Verdes Penensula (hey Tony and Jes) and WhooHoo. Even at Portugese (sp?) Bend where the road is rough it stuck like glue. I think this car is the perfect design for both street and track use right behind the 914.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Funny that this showed up. Today my friend told me there was a Ford Gt at the dealership. So I went to check it out and sure enought sitting right there in the show room. Not for sale but I got to take pictures on my phone and get a real good Look at it. Pretty Impressive.

Hey Ben its at the ford dealership by the mall over by Kimo's(formally rattelsnake brewing company). Dont know how lon it will be there but you should check it out.

Anyone think these cars will depricate enough that someone will be able to reasonably pick one up? Lets say 15 years from now, 40-50k? Prolly not...

I believe when production is done, they will have made approx. 4,000 GT's. The prices will probably still continue to decline but that should eventually level off and then their value should hold up pretty good.
