I got a Ford brochure at the Auto Show in Anaheim last week and it has the GR-1 very big (four page foldout) I think that it could be a clue that Ford is going to make this car because they had a lot of pictures of the Ford GT just before they started to make it as well.
I kind of miss the Concept roadster and regret how it seems to have been forgotten in the rush to laud the coupe. Some say the roadster was ugly but while I agree the grille cavity wasn't properly oval shaped, everything else about the design is brilliant, especially the carved-out-of-a-solid-billet alloy dash.And after all over 1,000 of the real Cobras were roadsters and only six coupes, so doesn't it make sense to make a new Cobra a roadster?
By the way, does everyone know Freeman Thomas, ex-Chrysler, ex-VW, is working with J Mays now, and Thomas was behind the Audi TT so I think that Ford will be going more retro with Thomas than they would have without him. His own car by the way is a hotted up old 911.
