i feel like a grumpy old get off my lawn guy looking at ANY ford halo car/top model. bRaptor, raptorR, gt500...really is off putting

Yes…. Personally hate how they go about the sale of some of those great vehicles.

It has been a HUGE turn off for me… feels like you have to ”beg” the company to buy their car….

GTFO!

if I was in any position to grab one I would have done it too, if for no other reason than knowing you can flip it for a hefty profit when the 1 year waiting period is up

I actually wouldnt have… I swear it… that shit to me was ridiculous….

I know this will be like pissing in the wind with you but the FGT was a properly special car in more ways than whatever numbers the street version did or didn't put down. It never was for the people, BUT since demand was higher than they thought they actually built quite a few.

Any wealthy person who wanted one was eventually able to buy one and the whole influencer only bs people were going on about in the beginning is straight false.

I too would take the 05/06 or better yet a Superformance '66 over the new car. 3 pedals always win fun factor

Was it upgraded at all during its run?
Not really. The inter coolers in the side pods were made larger, I think, in 2019, and that added maybe 10hp, and the Akrapovic exhaust became standard. Essentially the car was unchanged, beyond the heritage liveries, studio series, Liquid, and a couple one offs (all only cosmetic changes).

Vette for me. After seeing the Z06 in person yesterday; I’m sold. We did the factory tour then went to the museum. There was a red Z06 in the final inspection stage of the tour. Then these two were at the museum. Orange is waiting for the to pick it up by owner at the museum. Black is in the museum.

Agree. I saw a cyber gray z07 with carbon wheels and red interior and fell in love.

Wow that black version, does a good job hiding the lines of the car (sorry I'm not a fan of the C8)
