"Theodore is most famous for his time at Ford as the head of North American Car Product Development, where he initiated the development of the Ford GT and was also responsible for other vehicles like the 2002 Ford Thunderbird and the 2001 Bullitt Mustang. We have no information on why former Saleen CEO Paul Wilbur is no longer at the position, but we'll be sure to let you know as soon as we find out."

Isn't this the guy who during Rally 1 stood up and polled us on whether we would buy another newer FGT? That kinda ticked me off as I just saw the value of the 4,038 drop through the floor. If I remember right this is when Bony shrunk up and shuddered so bad his ring fell off his finger!


I can probably guess why Paul left........

Chris Theodore has nothing to do with Ford anymore, nor did he when he spoke at Rally I. At the time Chris was at a supplier called ASC Global.

Mike-
Chris also addressed the GT crowd at Rally II after lunch at the Saleen road course. He showed various concept sketches of possible future GT reincarnations and asked (again) who might be interested in purchasing these possible models....
