Specs have nothing to do with application release date.

Don't expect full specs prior to application.

Good to Know !!

Even without the final specs, you pretty much know what you're getting. Then you get it and it blows away all your expectations.

I picked this up tonight at CVS, which will definitely assist in the hunt.

I already know enough to place my order should I get the chance. :thumbsup

My thoughts exactly- I am eager to purchase one even without all the final specs in stone


<<We know there has been a change in the company outsourced to do the application which has caused some delay>>
I guess I must have missed any previoius posts about this- anyone got a link to the area where this was mentioned or any details?

I just have a feeling that specs might not be available until late June at the earliest..... I know plenty to be ready to go, if given the nod.

*** and I just miss read the poll and voted wrong. I would be a Yes.

I put a deposit on my McLaren before I even knew what it looked like, so this one is a no-brainer, I'm in regardless of specs. I don't Ford will go all XJ220 on us!

This is not a difficult question Brian. We are all GT faithful and were ready once they rolled it out at the North American Auto Show. We know that Ford will far exceed what we can imagine when it comes to the new GT. They recognize the importance of having a supercar that instantly vaults itself to the pinnacle of the motor car world. It is after all the GT reputation and trademark.

So Ford would go from a V6 to a 3 cylinder? .. :biggrin

Happy to hear over 90% feel the same.. It was kind of a two part conundrum for me... I'm happy to hear from the Ring Master the final specs won't delay the application process any further..

I would not be very enthused if the engine became the I-4 Ecoboost. :):)

You're an industry veteran Andy, and you're right on, sometimes things change, often not for the better. But I was in Dearborn today, and I did see something a little different. Attached pic of a cowling modified to fit some other type of powertrain. Can't imagine it's a EcoBoost 4 cylinder. ;-))

I ordered my '05 in '03 when it was still a prototype! I am sure the new GT will be great, don't need the specs!!

In my experience, knowing full and final specifications or even price, before placing a deposit on a rare breed is the exception rather than the rule. When demand so far outstrips supply, as is the case with this Phoenix GT, you either have the desire to own it, or you don't. And if you possess both the means and the desire to own it, don't bog yourself down with details.

And for christ's sake if you fill out an app, and get selected, and then choose not to purchase because of HP or Weight or lap times, or luggage space, so help me god I will punch you in the middle of the face. LOL. Just kidding. But seriously, don't bobble the ball in the end zone in the final game of the season. Otherwise we will all talk so much shit behind your back it won't even be funny. LOL, just kidding again...sort of.

Have a great day! :)
