Ford GT
Was in Detroit this week and had one of my buddies take me over to Roush to see the Ford GTs. They had about 8 cars there mostly the mules (Test Vehicles) and a couple of the crash units. Yep they crashed a bunch of cars multiple times.........
Actually had a full frame/chassis setting there. All aluminum and the front and rear clips bolts on, so if you crash the car it's easy to replace stuff. Lots of Ford current product stuff on the GT and you can change the oil an filter (Dry Sump) from the top just leaning in.
The full aluminum belly pan and air flow directors on the front and rear of the bottom of the car is something neat to see. It appear like the original GT 40 if you don't have the belly pan and air deflectors the car will lift the front end around 140 MPH and you can spin the steering wheel as the front wheels are off the ground......WOW.
Really cool visit and saw some other neat stuff but mums the word right now!!!!!!!!!
Ford GT goes into production May 1, 2004 and they are building approximately 1,500 cars the first year.

Gary,
I heard there is a video clip floating around of the GT's crash test. Is that true? and if so, do you know where I can find it?
Something about crash testing a $140K car makes me intersted in finding the video.

Hi all
Folllowed a Thread for a while were there was discussion on the sale price of each vehicle.
Have they arrived at a sale price. Or will they leave this up to each dealer?
Cheers
Bernie

James,
I saw a few of the crash vehicles but no video.........
Bernie,
Retail price is $ 139,900.00 however the public is bidding them up since they are only building 4,500 and that will come 1,500 each year for only 3 years. Last price I heard at a few dealers was it was over $ 200,000. already and they don't start production until May 1, 2004...........
