you went with gloss carbon , you think it will be easier to take care of or just like the glossy look.

What a fantastic looking 2017 Ford GT!! The color is both beautiful AND agressive at the same time. I'm really looking forward to seeing this one in person. And your VIN#, GT 40, just perfect!!!! Congratulations Dave!! Michele and I are so happy for you.

Two thumbs up on the color! I hope there's some sort of agreement (gentleman's at least) that all the custom painted cars will remain a 1 of 1.

What? :eek Before you wrap? :lol

Congratulations! Wish we could have seen the picture of your smile. Thank you for the explanation and story leading up to your GT40. It is absolutely drop dead gorgeous. Can't wait to see it in person at the Rally!
This is another one of those wonderful times to be a car guy, especially if you are a Ford nut. :thumbsup

Well Dave , I guess the ''cat is out of the bag'' now. And the 'public domain' has a chance to see the vehicle... Thank you for showing it to Ryan and me in person this afternoon at the ICON Building. It was quite a treat. !!
Just purely stunning ... it wants to burn into your eyeballs !

Nice write up. I am sure it makes the Ford Team that worked on the vehicle very proud..

Dave, #40 looks incredible in that blue and how appropriate a VIN for our Consigliere!

I was leaning toward one of the "standard" colors but now I'm not so sure. Luckily, I have 6 to 9 months to figure it out.

Enjoy your gorgeous GT and root the team home to another victory in GTLM at LeMans.

I taped the shit out of it!

I went to the gas station and got mobbed. It was crazy. Amongst the crowd one brave teenager said "will you give me a ride in this?" and as everyone guffawed I said "screw it, why not." He was not expecting that. :lol I think he was pleased with his 15 minute drive up and down the street, and got a taste of the terror of being engulfed on all 4 corners by camera cars. If you don't like being famous, pass on your allocation. Literally nothing draws gawkers like this car.

They are definitely refining it as the units pass. It's certainly a loud beast, but anyone that tells you this car is unlivable is just a wuss.

Congrats Dave! That color is awesome, especially with the gloss black carbon fiber. Thanks as always for the continued business. Look forward to seeing you with it in Utah!

Super nice spec! Congrats. I went back and forth with all the Porsche PTS Blues when I ordered my GT4 including Riviera, Mexico, and Gulf.

I want to see all of that carbon, so I already took that shit right out. :biggrin Looks sick. Noisier, hotter; do not care. The bit between the seats, and behind the seats as you look through the seat back is visible carbon. Gorgeous.


Pictures... PLEASE! tenor.jpg
