    No way this car sells for under 350k list with all the carbon fiber. Remember that Lexus lost money on every LFA at close to 400k.

    "Go Like Hell" Movie Update

    It has been a year since we first heard that there was a movie in the works based on the book with Tom Cruise as Carroll Shelby and Brad Pitt as Dan Gurney(?) Anyway, I haven't heard a thing since.... Does anyone have an update? Are they planning to release it in 2016 coinciding with the...

    Post how did you get your GT?

    It was September 2007, I was about to turn 50 and one of my friends got cancer...I realized that you may only get one chance in life. I had loved the Ford GT since 1966 and still had a toy silver GT from that time my mother had found, so I nixed the idea of buying a 911 Turbo and started...

    New GT effect on Values

    Thanks Pete, yes I am very lucky, hopefully no big life decisions for a year or two so I can save enough to keep the GT.. Now as to when they passed through teenage years...the third is 17 an testing me constantly...when she first got her car she hit a curb and destroyed a wheel and tire while...

    New GT effect on Values

    No, the whole reason I asked this question is that I have 3 daughters, 1 starts medical school in 2015, one starts college in 2015, one is in graduate school, and none are married yet..and I'm not a super rich dude, so a stable value on my GT is a real comfort just in case I need to sell...

    New GT effect on Values

    Mine is a rather high miles car..about 18,000 miles since I do drive the thing. So I suppose it should be worth around 215-220..not bad considering i've owned it 7 years and bought it from Shelby at list 167k.

    New GT effect on Values

    Well, I was wondering about this because unlike many of you, I am rather an ordinary citizen with three daughters who are not yet married...etc, etc... I don't want to sell my GT but I find a certain financial comfort in believing it will retain its' value even with a new GT on the horizon.

    New GT effect on Values

    WE all know one reason our GT's appreciated in value recently was because there wasn't another one in the wings... Now, 10 years later there is. I am curious what you guys think will happen to our GTs' value in 2016? No effect, increase (with the possible release of the LeMans Movie) or decrease?

    Ford GT on Cranky Ape

    Yes indeed...this same characteristic makes my old 911 tricky in the cold and wet... I have seen dozens of GTs destroyed over the past 7 years because folks don't recognize that too much excitement, inexperience, 550 hp, no traction control and the OEM GY tires below 40 degrees are lethal...

    Could $300,000 be the new Benchmark for a Delivery Mile FGT

    You don't laugh in Chuck Norris's face...that would be fatal.. Chuck Norris doesn't do push ups...he pushes the earth down. When Chuck Norris has surgery the doctors need anesthesia.. And so it goes

    The Ford GT... Is Coming Back!

    Does anyone know of a coordinated effort to get the car out on the 50th anniversary of the Lemans win coinciding with the movie "Go Like Hell" with Brad Pitt... Releasing both at the same time would cause a worldwide sensation, especially if both were good..

    2014 Porsche GT3 (991) thoughts ?

    I just might buy a Gt3...but when I do it will be a proven one with a Metzger engine..not one with an unproven one built by a robot. If the new engine is so good why are the Cup cars still with the Metzger engine?

    2014 Porsche GT3 (991) thoughts ?

    As to the complicated computers and electronics on todays 911s and GtRs...I love them but I am a bit wary of them...How reliable will they be in 5-10 years? I keep stuff... My 911 is almost 28 years old and never has had an engine failure since new when I bought it...but it so simple even I...

    Got a copy yesterday...they were very complimentary of the GT, said it could compete if released today with current supercars.

    How many Ford GT owners are there?

    Agree with Chip..2500 or a little less left in US. Even here in Hattiesburg a guy totaled a GT beyond repair 5 years ago and I know of at least 5 guys on the forum who totaled their cars. One from Russia on the forum got killed in his many years ago..
