We Hear: Ford May Formally Sell Shelby GT500 Overseas - WOT on Motor Trend

where the ZL1 won't be sold.... Canadians are having a hard time getting a ZL1 and it is made in Canada :rockon:

 

[ON D BIT]

Thats because they dont want any pro drivers running the ring in the oem zl1. Can you imagine the backlash if sport auto only runs a .57 with the zl1?:shrug:

Yes, it would be devastating to their case. It will take a real private company or club to run a full lap at Nurburgring. "Track days" are only available to clubs and private companies, it is about $1000 a day and is the only way to get a full lap. Tourist days cut out about a 1km on the 3km stretch at gate C and, there is a speed limit and an overwhelming amount of traffic. My first lap in the 5.0 was over 15 minutes (timed by the LED display) and that wasn't even a full lap. Lots of traffic on a tourist day (especially the weekend) and that is $30 dollars a lap.

Nurburgring is currently in a lot of financial trouble, it will be difficult to run track days this year...

Would be cool if they did, but there doesn't appear to be a lot of hard evidence saying they actually will. The next gen I'll bet is sold globally.

The more Domestic Manufacturers sending products over seas the better!

I think if Ford does this, it will be extremely profitable.

I believe it would be difficult to sell an SVT vehicle overseas out of Ford Europe. It depends on the real relationship between SVT and RS of Europe. If it truly is a Global Performance brand, then SVT cars could be sold out of RS dealers in Europe... Not sure about China and other locations.

The cost to the customer overseas would be MUCH larger than at home.... Do onto others.....

I'm sure there are quite a few in OZ just biting at the bit to get hold of one from a dealer, and not have to pay even more privately importing one.
