[QUOTE="dubbsfaris, post: 13672483, member: 96942"] Ever heard of Shelby run Europe? 20 American Shelby and Ford GT owners did just that, and 2015 and 2016 we are doing it all over again with many more cars this time. At any rate- back to the topic at hand, Jamaal is right. ford doesn't need the numbers to sell their car. On the other hand, how expensive would it be to allow a third party take possession of a showroom car at a dealer from Ford, Chevy and send them over? Since we have done that, I can tell you it is less than 10k to ship 2 cars there and back, and add in the cost of the cars, the bill for Ford and Chevy would be less than 100k each...that's not that much money. But both companies have more to lose than gain. That's the real answer why its not done. Want more proof? Top Gear had a 2013 GT500 that Jeremy Clarkson drove across Europe and bitched about the whole way. You all remember its lap time when the stig drove it on their track, right? Yeah, they didnt. I've seen every single episode they have ever done, and that was the first time a showcased vehicle was not given a lap time for the board. Am I the only to notice that? I bet not.:read: [/QUOTE]
