do you expect to be seeing ford GTs everywhere? Ive seen one once, but its only because a guy who comes to a show thats 1/4 mile form my house is also a super car collector, so i also got to see his S7. I dont think most people on here go around seeing ford GTs very much

Thats not what i ment.. They dont get any media... I see Shelby GT-500s on the street though... But I see alot more Camaros especially SS models and Corvettes, and according to a previous post the GT-500 is supposedly a car thats to compete with Corvettes and Vipers... i see those but GTs i do not.
take that with a huge grain of salt. 40k vs 80k+

Wow this thread is really kickin off, cool! Yeah everything that i've looked into when comparing any kind of the newer mustangs and corvettes (like v6, gt, shelby, and what not) ford competes with the corvette very well with there being a big difference in $$$
On another point. Did you guys know that the Ford Motor Co. lost 12.6 billion in 2006, while G.M. only lost about 4.6 billion? Even though both companies are amongst a "turnaround" in their companies... thats a big difference beteen the 2!

I've seen 3 ford GTs, on red w/ white stripes, one silver with blue stripes and one black with white stripes (I think thos are the combos) and those things are ****ing loud as hell.
don't they cost like 150 grand? someone told me that, but I can't see ford selling too many 100grand+ cars.

lol they werent plannin on makin too many
it was a limited edition car made to celebrate fords 100th bday
and for god sakes the mustang was never supposed to compete with the corvette, people always get it twisted that way
the thunderbird was supposed to go up against the vette but it failed miserably and went from a 2 seater to a 4 seater coupe
the vette has 2 seats while the stang has 4 (even though we all know the back seats are useless for people)
and i agree with you ford cannot build a car to compete with chevy, because ford doesnt charge that damn much lol
and this may piss some people off but i hate the gt500, how many horses is it putting to the wheels? how many horses was the terminator cobra putting to the wheels? i was expecting a hell of alot more from a 5.4
and for my final rebuttle of the night
ford turned a profit this year
something gm and its many dying brands have yet to do
the only brands/people gm seems to care about is chevy, cadillac and rappers
i mean you can only push that tired old trailblazer platform for so long until it becomes outdated and old

that's because the terminator was severely underrated from the factory. the GT500 dynos at exactly where it should for having 500BHP. alls it takes is a pulley swap, intake and tune to put you right around the 500RWHP mark. even though ford made a pulley swap more of a pain.

the news, http://www.rttnews.com/sp/todaystop.asp?date=07/26/2007&item=42&vid=0
you should watch it some time
and how is gm pumping out new vehicle design left and right?
is chevy left and cadillac right?
because from what ive seen oldsmobile is as good as dead, buick is barely surviving with their new lacrosse and pontiacs are just rebadges chevys now and i wont mention the toyota matrix clone also known as the vibe

a newsletter? try the evening news
am i the only one who watches the news? this is the first time in two years fords been able to turn a profit
hell gm just got its internal affairs in order such as their employee pension plans etc and are expected to get a profit next year
and how is $750 million a little profit?
none of those cars is gonna help gm
do you want to know the cars that have single handedly beaten the american auto industry into a less than 50% market ?
camry
accord
altima
performance is a luxury thing for a car company not a money maker
when nissan almost went under they revamped their whole line up and once they had climbed out of their death spiral they unveiled the 350z
gm needs to revamp ALL the brands and then release the camaro, not just caddy and chevy
