Stuck in the back seat?

Also a video where I make a quick cameo (and a reference to the Ford GT...)

(y)The event was pretty well done. I was amazed at how nimble the GT500 was, and how this car seems to defy physics. First thing we thought of was Doug and Dana when we saw the Iconic Silver.

What has the NFGT achieved stock in the 1/4 mile?

That Iconic silver looks fantastic.

I would have to wrap the blacked out bumper to match the body color.

I was at that moment. All those exterior/drone shots of the red/white car in the mountains was me driving. Same with the burnout shots by the road. The track drive was great. Drag strip less so (but my sense of straight line speed has been warped since getting the Demon).

Amazing how much cars have grown over the years. A fox is TINY compared to an S550 allowing the back seat to even be remotely relevant.

Yes, the Demon may have corrupted your senses.

super sweet Apollo (terry and Monica) were sending me pics from Vegas all week of the ICONIC SILVER. Ours should be here by Christmas....

Silver Bells!
I feel a little used & dirty...I thought I was the only one Apollo was sending pix & impressions to. 😁

Thanks for posting Karl, great to see some real press time in the cars to get feedback on the new Ford monster.

Slightly modified GT500 puts down a 9.7 sec 1/4 mile. See link below.

That 9.7 is a quick. My buddy ran the silver no stripe car a week ago for 9.808 at 141mph.

This SHELBY is being displayed at the Houston Auto Shoe and very few people know what it is! The Ford GT is the hit of the display! Check the guy standing behind it? Looks real! Justin Verlander!8FE311B0-06FA-40ED-A5ED-2CED56A98316.jpeg

I think I’ll wait untill the end of the summer,...but...
I’d be interested in ordering one if I can get Ford to paint it a non conforming color.

Nope. Flat Rock is not equipped for custom paint of any kind. The VIN 001 was an obvious exception. I think I read Penske painted it (Im assuming that was at the former SSV facility where our GT's were half assembled / painted). So that means all the parts have to be pulled, taken to Troy, then re meshed into the Flat Rock assembly line. Im sure Ford wants zero to do with that.
