I'll be here all day if you want to come check it out. I'm just here having a coffee relaxing. :lol

I was taking a sip from my ice tea when I saw this picture and then spit it across the bar at a local Mexican restaurant. The bartender was not as amused as I was.

I like how the middle finger of the gloves has Ford Performance... just in case you ever have the need to extend it to another car brand :)

DBK's having tea with the Stig .. You'll be ordering with Sparco and your concierge once your build number is established. As of now You have to get a car to get the gear. It won't be available to the general public.

This is marketing genius by Ford! They could embroider Depends underwear with the GT logo, and every owner would pay asking price... which would probably be about $4500 per pair! [emoji12]

That's actually brilliant. You could give them to passengers before their first ride... :lol

Too bad, I just bought a new CF helmet....

Dave is that the suit that was at the SAE night? It says "Dave pericak" on the belt if it is.

The Fcar crew are used to this look.... I'll still buy it all, but never wear it all, together.

Just thought all that attended this event may want to see the pictures SAE posted. Nice group photo of the Ford GT Forum on stage, although everyone was not in the picture who attended. Even so, I thought it was great how we represented. Check them out if you have a second.

What kind of BS are you trying to perpetrate? Big hall full of engineering nerds and NO Indy GT? I'm not buying these as real.

Frank and Ed..
here is the engineering answer. We had a 5 minute window at 6pm with Raj, Chris, Larry and Bob on stage prior to dinner with approx. 797 brilliant engineering nerds in attendance. It was like herding cats. Indy, DBK , Blake etc. and all others were "in the building" but could not make it up to stage due to a series of Engineering discussions being conducted in the arena with Sparco, Multimatic, Brembo, paint suppliers etc. They were actually having these engineering discussionS partially to help certify that your two (2) vehicles would be built correctly.
We can fill you in on all the details in August.
Thanks again to Vince for posting.
