Wow that’s awesome. Back when ford was more personal. Would love to see good old fashioned goodness make s comeback.

He won’t be around that long. And the incompetence on display ensures his authority won’t rise above tje current governor level. We are certainly not having any of that kind of draconian overreach. This is America, not the EU.

Thanks for your tremendous and insightful contribution gram. If you hurry, I think you’ll still be in time for your Bonanza reruns.

They did that already and it’s played out now. They need to commit to a modern iconic design that brings everything forward and into the future, along with checking all the performance boxes with a lightweight platform and futuristic powetrains that combine the best of the ICE and EV worlds. I...

Dodge is learning that people are ok with electric. But not so much in their enthusiast cars. I expect ford, Chevy, and dodge will have ICE, ev, and hybrid options in most of their products soon enough. The Camaro and mustang will likely both have hybrids from the GT level upward, with...

No one ever said it wouldn’t sell out of the paltry amount of cars made. The doubt setting in was about the car being what Ford and multimatic said it would be. To be fair, we probably would be ok with the Gtd to a certain degree if there was no such thing as the zr1. But the zr1 exists...

Of course. Bevause it was the SAFE thing to say. But the more revealing info came from interviews, etc. It was the stated purpose of the car to beat the gt3rs. They knew they’d meet gt2 would be too much, but really gunned for the gt3. And failed. They simply didn’t do enough with the Gtd...

Personally, I thought they nailed the design in 2016. The 2017 zl1 looked amazing. When they did the fisher price thing in 2019, it was a sad sad day. But yes, at least they didn’t turn the thing into an suv or an suv lookalike. Nasty.

And you know there were lots in interviews where the cat got let out of the bag - it was always the goal to beat the gt3rs, even going so far as to state confidence in beating the gt3, but acknowledging the gt2 was a bridge too far and that the amg one would be untouchable for them. . Sun 7 was...

Lol. Pot, meet kettle. You completely DCT like the track isn’t a thing. We are on the GTD thread. The Gtd isn’t going to scare any of the big boys with its straight line prowess. So that’s the context of comparing it to the zr1, which has already destroyed the records of every track it’s...

No doubt. I just wish they wouldn’t have made stuff up like “it’s a race car that we got certified street legal” nonsense at the door. It isn’t the race car with streets or parts. It’s the 650 with performance upgrades. Being an s650 with all the pros and cons attached, really only have three...

Way too much insecurity here. First, stop watching old brie Larsen meltdowns. Then read on for a course correction intervention. Of course tje car is limited production. Literally everyone knows. Ford isn’t going to make many of these snd even if they wanted to, not many would sell at...

Sure it has horsepower. It’s also heavy. As in no ratio. Just plain heavy. Imagine what that power would do if the thing was light. Your tire bill would be a heck of a lot better too. Power to weight ratio doesn’t make it turn better. I don’t care if they tore it down or not. I’d hope so...

It’s the prrrdator engine. I think the supercharger would be in the way of DI. So it’s SPI. Another reason turbos would be great. I wonder how much or not heat soak is an issue for the Gtd.

So you admit that it’s an s650 at its core, then try to say it’s the next generation car? Lol. The s650 is already an old platform. Who has carburetors? The heck is that. I hypothesized numerous times on this forum thst tje Gtd really existed for ford to subsidize the development of the next...

Sorry to hurt your feelings. But it’s not the “race car” made street legal they sold you on. It’s just a regular mustang with a body kit and suspension upgrade basically.

Sure. It has some mods. The wider fenders to you refer to? That’s the body kit I mentioned earlier. Wheels and tires? That’s what everybody does to mod their vanilla mustang. It’s basically a vanilla gt500+ Really should have just been this generations gt500!and been out already.

No kidding. Most conversations retread the same ground as challenges to thoughts and ideas present themselve, tje defense of those ideas come in. Then reevaluations of criteria based on those challenges or defenses, etc. Again, that’s part of what makes a discussion a discussion. And no the...

Because, after the disappointment of the weight reveal, we are looking for Ford to lighten things up the next generation. It’s part of the conversation flow my guy. That’s how it always goes in life, in-person, forums, telephone, email, social media etc. Let’s be real here.

Didn’t mean to be. But honestly the same could be said of you. We asked for examples of light sports cars sharing platforms with SUVs. Then you plop some random concept. Come on dude.
