:lol

Whoever is tough enough to get this car will have a rare bird. My son told me he would spring for a clip-on Autozone 12v fan.

On another note, I'd start a petition to get the carbon stripe on the regular cars, but I already know the answer.

The race cars don't have AC?

Sexy version, but as for weight savings we must be talking less than 30 punds on a stock GT with titanium exhaust and carbon wheels?
Will they give it an extra 30HP you guess??

The use of the phrase "incremental weight saving actions" tells me there isn't a dramatic weight savings.
As for the exhaust, you can add it to the non-comp cars.

Simon, Houston is hot as Hades. Yes, you would be tough. :lol
No way I'd have a closed car without A/C in Florida.

Little stuff.

Regardless, I'll give Ford a lot of credit for offering the comp car. I wish I lived in an area that didn't feel like a broiler in the summer.

Drain plugs in the floor for sweat to run out.

The ingot silver black stripe would look nice next to my Q-Silver/Black stripe
