Formula51 said:I understand the money aspect, I guess I was referring to it as why didn't they race the GT from the beginning. It is a car ment to pay homage to the GT40 "dominating" race car. You would think they would race the darn thing. I dont understand a lot of their decisions.
black99lightnin said:Money. It cost millions of dollars to form a race team and develop a racing car. Why would Ford do this with a car with a production number of 200 or so? Sure it would have added prestige, but it would have been a major loss. Same reason they didn't pay for the rights to "GT40". It's an extremely low production car. They back Mustangs because they sell hundreds of thousands of them. Also developmental parts are sold through Ford Racing Parts.
DBK said:Just to set the record straight, that alarm system was fitted solely at the request of Clarkston. Of course he just had to f with it to get the opportunity to screw it up and blame it on Ford...
Formula51 said:It's not surprising that they liked the GT as it is a mid-engine design styled similarly to the European supercars. And very importantly, has a price tag close to them as well.
FordGTGuy said:WTF are you talking about, the Mclaren has FE and the Ford GT cost two to three times lower than them all. :bash: BTW the only one that said anything good about the car was jeremy. :beer: oke: :shrug:
FordGTGuy said:Gallardo is cool but its a Lamborghini so why would you compare a Ford to a Lamborghini?
Formula51 said:Ahh...I dont get it. Why wouldn't you compare Ford's supercar to Lamborghini's? You make me frustrated. Did your mom tell you that life is jsut about having fun and competition isn't important. "It doesn't matter if you win or loose, just try to have fun hunny." In the car industry, it matters who wins or looses!
