I saw this while driving back to the Bay Area on Wednesday. It was tough taking the pictures because I was the only one in the car and it is kind of difficult to frame the shot and stay in the same lane. I think its a pretty good looking car. TLC or the History channel had a program that followed the design of the car which was also pretty interesting to watch.

 

I saw a white Ford GT with blue stripes about a month ago on the road. Man that car looks BADASS in person, it gave me goose bumps when it took off!

 

Prices are DROPPING too, they should be at MSRP in the next two months. My dad is seriously considering getting one

Hopefully all white, but I think he'll get red w/ stripes

 

Think the owner is trucking it to a track to preserve it's racing rubber? Unfortunately, it doesn't look like a high class transporter to me. I'm betting instead that it's a bit of bad news. Maybe the recalled defective suspension broke and the car no workey! Oh the strain our rich brethern must endure.

Great looking car inside and out though. Very aggressive all around. I like white the blue stripes like the one DownUnder saw. However, I wish the engine was a bit more ultra high-tech and exclusive, but I suppose the price wouldn't be anywhere near where it is.

 

That car is sooooooooooooooo bad ass! I love the dark blue color!

 

Might be a dealer transport/dealer trade.

 

That's the color combo I want!

 

racing rubber


It's probably being delievered to the owner

 

Looks like the window sticker is till on it...

 

Racing rubber - sticky, expensive stuff that doesn't last.

 

Trust me, if you could afford one, you could afford not to give a fuck about wearing out your tires.

And like Greenie said, window sticker is still on it, so Scotts probably right, being delivered to the owner.

Its a hot car, but it has to be one of the shitiest "exotics" out there. I mean there were what. two mandatory recalls within months of it being released? And for serious things like suspension failing, which should not be a problem on such a high-end car that begs to be tracked.

 

Those cars go for 200K+....even though they are priced 140K by ford

 

thinking more, that's an 06 I believe, the limited edition one w/ the special grey paint. that isn't a standard color.

 

Tell your dad to wait for the ME Four Twelve, thats supposed to hit production in a year or so. 0-60 in 2.9, top 248, 150k, closely priced to the GT, looks a helluva lot cooler too.

 

we might as well put up a pic of the ME Four Twelve

 

^^^^

 

The ME412 was canned by DCX bean counters.

 

A big about the ME Four Twelve.

Can't go wrong with 850hp and the much hotter look.

 

Oh they did?

 

i think it's ugly, and I seriously doubt it'll be made


and MM&FF did a test on a GT w/ a pulley change, thing ran 9's

 

Lots of exotics out there have had much worse problems then the Ford GT, i.e. the Ferrari 360 has had eight recalls and five within it's first year. Hell Ferrari has more recalls then Infiniti and Lexus combined.

 

Huh, never knew that.

But after reading them, none were as serious as fracturing control arms.

 

The Ford GT has been raced hard around tracks around the world by many mags, TV shows, events etc... And there hasn't been any incident recorded by the media where the controls arms cracked during a race and crashed before the recall was issued. So it's not like it was that bad, Ford found a problem with the control arms that could potentially crack under extreme racing conditions and they corrected it BEFORE it happened to anyone. So I give them props for that.

 

...so, why is it that so many self professed "car guys" are always finding fault with this brand or that brand. I happen to like a LOT of cars from MANY different brands! Ford makes a lot of great vehicles, and a lot of mainstream mediocre vehicles. Part of the cost/benefit ratio that goes into marketing any product. Diversity is what gives us all of the great cars out there to choose from....I personally wouldnt WANT everyone driving the same car as me. How fun would that be....

 

They really canned the ME. . Well if you got enough money I am sure you can get one. The german equivalent of the ME will be launced. Behold, the Bugati veyron. Interior sucks. And its a pricy 1 million dollars, pretty sad considering the ME was 150 and 2 mph slower, which could easily be changed if you are willing to NOS a 150k Car.


And I like the ME more, I would ditch the chrysler wings in teh front though. I would also ditch the round mirrors on the chrysler.

 

Dead Sexy!!!

But, alas...twas not to be...

 

The "Tungsten Edition" is a darker grey with light silver trim

Maybe it's just an 06 standard color?

 

saw a vid of one AND that sound made me wet my pants

 

faulty control arm was found on test mule #3 that had over 100K on the clock. No other problems have been found

 

my bro took a pic of a red and white stripped one on the road yesterday here in houston...
too bad i didn't get to see it in person

btw, the ME is not going into production...and if it did, i thought it would b priced way more than 150k....too bad tho cus i really like the way it looks

 

Someone that works in my building has a GT. He only drives it on nice days. I see it in the parking lot sometimes. The thing sounds so bad. It's all red no stripes.
