When I was young, I wished I could own a Black Jaguar or Corvette(Route 66 TV show). When I was 17, I wanted to buy a 1950 Buick(running) for $50.00 but my guardian refused. While in USAF, I saved enough money to buy a Blue(my 1st pair of glasses were blue) 1973 Vega when I was discharged. It was either a Vega or a Gremlin. I should have bought the Gremlin but I was influenced by Diana Shore Chevy song. My current car is Kia Forte(Dealer was good for Tulsa) and it is okay but not enough fuel economy. My latest Dream is a Blue Elio with automatic, blind spot, and maybe an ipad with engine diagnostics. I am hoping my dream will come true.

Put me down for the next Ford GT! At $400,000+, it's at the edge of possible but dead in the intersection of "Not going to happen" and "My wife would kill me".

That thing is gorgeous, though I heard they're making it only with a V6. I wonder why no V8? Would be badass if they sold a V8 Twin Turbo 1000hp stock.

"According to Car and Driver, if you want a 2017 Ford GT, you not only have to fork over as much as $400,000, but you will also need to fill out an application to even be considered.
The automotive magazine reports that if a consumer is accepted, that person will be matched with a Ford GT-certified dealership.

Product-Reviews.net is reporting that current or previous owners of a GT will be given priority throughout the application process."

only 250 per year expect 3-4 production years If you could buy it for 400k it will resale for more

You might want to watch this...


Ecoboost 3.5 V6
That was freaking awesome!!!!! So glad I waited all these years to finally get my toy. The only downside I have in over a year of having it is the tires that came with the truck. Definitely not going to see 30k on the front tires. I'm barely over 10k and am considering replacing the front tires should this winter get nasty. Watched the whole thing and I'm still drooling.

I have one that I got in 2011. Have 75K on it. It's 4WD. I run 18" BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A.
Got 35K out of my last set. I have them rotated every 5K. Hauling a trailer with a 4-1/2' rock cutter (about 8500 lb) I had no problem up and down hill.
