A very un-manly reason. SVT wouldn't approve

Though that would be an interesting plot twist, I don't believe so. At the time of the original allocation decisions, Ford had not green-lighted the track version other than for actual GTLM. I think at the time I simply wasn't important enough to Ford compared with the (many many many) thousands of other folks who had more a of a history with the brand. It was a reasonable decision by Ford, even if it was a sad day for me.
Fast forward a few years, I had bought and raced first a Boss 302S and then the Mustang GT4, and when they asked me if I was interested in a track-only GT, my instant response was "oh HELL yes". Since the market for expensive track-only cars is typically much smaller than for limited-production street cars, it was helpful for them to have a handful of enthusiasts commit to buying the track car sight unseen. They green-lighted the mk2 about a year after I committed to get one should they make it.
Finally, I did apply for the street GT during Ford's second round of applications, and the second time around I was approved. Again, a reasonable choice by Ford - I'm out there racing their cars (and putting down some darned respectable numbers for a non-pro driver, too) - and I'll be doing the same with their halo track car. So I'm happy with how things turned out.
how seriously did you consider having both road and track versions?
Unless I’m reading that wrong, it seems he is getting both.
I hate you.
Car looks incredible.
Patience is a virtue!!
Correctamundo.
<------waiting for track videos of it now. Congrats.
Would like to hear what your thoughts of performance are compared to the Ferrari's you are used to racing.

I'm not sure yet. I saw a carbon edition in liquid red and that was pretty spectacular. I've got a bit of time to decide.
Ah Treynor that is awesome! I really enjoyed your thread on the GT4, and this is even more exciting! I would love to see pictures of the garage once the new toys arrive and are in their place(well maybe they’re second place, since you do track your cars)

Looks fantastic and a lot of fun to drive.
Great looking car, congratulations.
Is the air intake going to get any paint? Looks a little out of place. But the rest is amazing.
Stunning!
