[QUOTE="DBK, post: 16472866, member: 4088"] Very similar to GT. Rationale was to integrate launch of global Mustang with celebration of 66 Le Mans win by racing the new global product. They did all the typical shit, engineering/feasability/biz case. Car was pretty gnarly looking, wide monster with a terrible frontal area for high speed endurance racing (which ended up not really mattering anyways due to BoP). Would have needed a lot of waivers (which, again, ended up not really mattering based on all the shenanigans in IMSA/WEC). Carbon car, same powertrain, front engine, done by MM. Would have been at least $250k each, but if I recall the unit count was a lot lower. Got shot down pretty far along. There was executive support for the program when it was ongoing that vaporized when it came time to press the go button. I was super happy when they killed it because I thought it was extremely no-brainer obvious they should do a Ford GT. That said, the time spent on Silver, and then the time in between Silver being nuked at Phoenix actually "officially" starting cost the GT program a lot. There were learnings from Silver applied to PHX but the dead time in between put GT way behind the gun. [/QUOTE]
