Upper cut right to the jaw of the Super Car Aristocracy. They have been served and will be down for the count for quite some time. Great week to be a Ford man.

With this definition PHX actually makes since...

PHENIX - or PHOENIX - definition of phenix by The Free Dictionary

A fabulous bird that after a life of five or six centuries immolates itself on a pyre and rises from the ashes to begin a new cycle of years:

The original GT40's are about 5 centuries old... and the new version has wings ready to fly and it is ready to immolate itself on it's pyre (Ferrari, McLaren, Lambo's etc)... and begin a new cycle of years!
