Speaking of, I got to go look one over and my roomate moved it all of 10 feet today at the Ford Dealer down here in Galveston(roomate is a porter). The car is awesome and everything but wow, I was so dissappointed in the fit and finish. The two brake ducts on the top rear behind the door were plastic inserts that were warped and didn't fit worth a damn. The drivers intake duct had what looked like 5-6 washers (looked like the punch outs from the grating used) inside the duct being ready to get sucked up to the filter. There was a little overspray and when the protective film was taken off it took a few little chips of paint out of the stripes. Its a white with blue stripe car. Absolutely amazing other than the fit and finish. And GMs head needs to get out of their ass in other aspects than super cars since the C6 Z06 will be right there with the GT, but in other offerings .. GM is lacking severely.

Mustang: Almost here(64 1/2 6cyl), here(V-8's from 65-72), gone(Mustang 2),here(79-94 Fox Body) still here(95-04 SN-95) and back again.
Seems to me Ford is the one that cant figure out their a$$ from a hole in the ground.
Whats next? Why cant Ford design something new and fresh instead of having to bring back designs from the golden age?
Just Kidding. Neat car, too bad I wont drive one until I win the lottery. I hope you did a decent burn out in the parking lot.

No kidding! $250K!
Damn, they're gouging the hell out of those things, huh? Or are people just "out-bidding" each other? I thought they were supposed to sell for $150K?
For that much money, I'd buy a Ferrari 575M Maranello.
A friend of mine who works in the parts dept. of a local Ford dealer said they had some issues with control arms snapping on the GT's? NJTurbo, have you seen any bulletins about that?

I take it since the person just received this car, that Ford has since fixed the problem with the front control arms cracking do to poor castings?

It was a recall and this one was completed before we got it at the plant. We had to check on delivery
Outbidding is more like it, the owners friends little spoiled son jumped up and down... daddy I want it. So the price war was on and he won
I saw a promo video for the GT, I thought that the back hatch for the motor was supposed to be clear so you could see the motor. Sounds like the kid's lookin for something to wrap around a tree to me, may as well be a 250K car. Must be nice to have "old" money.
