The mustang code for two oncoming mustang drivers is to floor it mid corner, lose control, and crash into each other. I jest, I jest. But somehow had to say it 😆.

Who knows at this point, we're both just spitballing here. Time will tell. Monterey car week is coming up in less than 2 weeks. That was where they surprised everyone with the GTD last year. Maybe they'll discuss whatever this is at this year's event. No-one knows but Ford.

I suppose it depends on how blue ember is created, as that color has some pretty intense color shift that isn't super far off from this idea. I believe it can be done by a robot, I haven't heard of blue ember cars needing to be specially painted by humans. RTR quotes around $10,000-15,000 to...

I think most of us have seen the new RTR color shifting paint option, and most of us love it. I'm just saying Ford, if you're listening, bring back that style of paint, specifically the purple/teal color shifting color, to the s650. I don't care if it's like a 5 grand color option, I'll pay it 😆.

It's the same width as a normal s650 friend. If it was a GTD mule, those wheels would be sticking out a few inches on both sides.

But if this was a GTD chassis/suspension mule, wouldn't the track width be the same as a GTD? Or can the GTD's suspension work with the normal s650 chassis dimensions?

No, but a lot of Chinese students were 😆. Yes, I know this is a reference to a song.

Yes, the one that charges 32 grand per semester for a 4 yr program. Was like "Fuck that". That was back in like 2017 as well, and they told me they generally increase their tuition by a few thousand a year. So I wouldn't be surprised if it was north of 40 grand a semester now. In other words...

Most people who can afford a zr1 can afford a GTD.

Prototypes generally flow in one direction dude. They tend to be crude at first, not really representative of the finished product. That describes this prototype with all its exploded screws and Frankenstein bits. All I'm saying is brands don't do that. They don't go from production ready...

I've literally visited the art center college of design, spoken to many car designers in person, and followed the industry for decades. I know Ford like the Pope knows the Bible. But sure, I'm wrong because you want to be condescending for no reason 😆.

As someone who loves the s650, the RTR body kit, and teal/purple color shifting paint, I'm over the moon right now 😆.

Nah, there's no widebody, no wing, even the decklid is different, the dual intakes are just crudely bolted on here rather than smoothly integrated into the design like on the GTD. It wouldn't make much sense imo to make the later test mules of the GTD less production accurate than the earlier...

Probably this GTD lite we've heard about which apparently will start at around 100 grand or a little less. Likely running the GTD powertrain with the normal S650 body/chassis as we expected.

Looks like a GTD sans wing. Which is quite interesting by itself. The logical conclusion is Ford is testing out more affordable mustang models below the GTD with that rear mounted transmission. There's realistically no reason for Ford to spend more time and effort to remove the rear wing if...

It's just trading one barrier of entry for another man. An intense application process, and/or a very high price tag both achieve the same basic thing, limiting demand and availability. Even if the GTD was open to order for anymore, 99% of the people here couldn't afford it. The 1% who can are...

I am trying to figure out why Ford is benchmarking not just one, but multiple c8s, a stingray and a zo6. It was actually so important for them to get a zo6 as soon as possible that they got a preproduction model from GM in a prototype trade. This was around the time a Ford gt prototype was...

Ah yes, a $200,000 plus supercar, truly a car of the people.

So is the predator pretty bulletproof then?

Apparently it's gonna be a more affordable coupe that prioritizes styling and driving dynamics over outright speed. Hot take, I really like this idea. I know some see it as our duty as enthusiasts to despise all things EV. Personally, I love interesting cars regardless of what powers them. As...
