Even if it stickers for 100K I know the So.Cal Dealers will do some serious gouging. Tommy is this going to be very limited? You gotta reserve one for each of us R owners here!

I like everything about the car, except the price, lol....anyone know the production #?
The new GT 40 was designed by the "Living Legends Studio," according to one of the articles. How does that play with SVT. Will SVT be a part of the cars production, it makes sense for the car to done by SVT. Of course they could do a regular production version and then do a faster SVT version:burnout:
Then they would say we were asking for too much.:coolman:

Yep, the first one thru the doors with money wins. Er, oops I guess you would be 2nd. Someone already did.Originally posted by Cobra-R
Tommy will be distributing GT40's starting with R owners closest to him, right Tom.:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Although I'll never be able to afford one, I think it's great news that they are building it. :coolman:

Can I get A-plan on that?!! :lol:
I THINK that the GT40 will be built only by ford just like a taurus or a mustang. I believe that an SVT vehicle has to be based on a tamer,already existing automobile. This will of course not be mass produced like other ford cars. It will probably be around 500-1000 in the first year and that may determine if another year will follow. As far as price goes,the cover of Car and Driver said Ferrari killer,so that pretty much says it all. The important thing is that it will be produced and it will an amazing SPORTS car. Not pony car or muscle car,but an actual sports car. It will be awesome and I just hope I get to see one in person. I still haven't seen a 2000 R in person. Ah well whatcha gonna do?
It's amazing to me that they can get 500hp out of an blown aluminum block for the GT40 but they can't get 390hp out of an aluminum block for the '03 Cobra. :rollseyes :rollseyes
Durablility my ass. :cuss: :cuss:
Dean,
The new '03 Cobra still uses a 4.6 liter modular, but the GT-40 will use the 5.4 liter like our R's do, only aluminum block (instead of iron like ours) AND the blower on top of that! That - my friend - is how you get to 500 HP!!
Sure... A-plan plus about another $50K+ or more (on top of sticker) on the street and it is yours! Hehe!!

How about A-Plan AND my 00 R...
It has only been taken out on nice days, low milage, and never, never, never used to abuse old ladies on Sundays...
Oh, yeah, it has new tires and a radio too...that has got to be worth something...It is one of the Rarer, than the Rare ones, since it has a stereo too...
BTW, Why has there been no discussion about there being wiring for the Mach460 stereo system in the 00 R??????
I spent an a day and a half building a wiring harness for speakers and stereo, and an entire Sunday(That I could have been out abusing Little Old Ladies ) gutting the entire interior ( of course there was not much to gut ) ONLY TO FIND WIRES FOR SPEAKERS AND MACH 460 SOUND SYSTEM !!!!! YES I AM YELLING NOW !!!! This is NOTHING compared to what I said when I saw that...!!!!!
I want to get rid of this now for the GT-40....now we are back on topic...I am soooooo upset....!!! hehehehe

Hmmmm, so basically, if we want tunes while tearing up the track, all we need to do is find a mach 460 system that someone didnt think was good enough or loud enough, and it plugs right in??? speakers and all??? or, go with adapter harnesses, and put in any stereo and speakers, without having to make up or run wiring???? cool!!!
IF???? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
