and DAMN! the Ford GT is sex on wheels. Ford is doPe as hell for building that car again. We spent more time in the Ford display than any other. Unbelievable. Also, the new Mustang deserves maD USDM props for being hella tight. The concept of the new Lightning was also there. Sweet! The whole display made me think of 1der and the happiness it would bring him.

Mr1der loves the Fordsechs.

Rex, I implore you to post naughty pics of the Ford GT.

Black, thank you. With white stripes.

I'm a Ford hater here. But I just have to say that I love ford. I love Ford. They made what may quite possibly be the single sexiest American car in history. So, I love Ford.

Did I mention how much I love Ford?

I love the V10 in that shelby, too. I've got pics of it somewhere...It's a very aesthetically pleasing engine, plus...it's frickin' powerful. I like.

Perhaps Ford has earned my respect back...we shall see...

Honestly, I think that's a market GM/Chevy isn't interested in. Ford's got a sort of a niche with the GT...something no one else has...an american supercar. You can argue that the Viper is in the same class, but I don't see it as that. The Viper is a muscle car. The GT's a Ferrari killer. And a damn sexy one, too. I've been having fun in GTA:SA running from the cops in my Ford GT ("Bullet"). It's a near-perfect model of the car. The only thing wrong is that the engine is so damn quiet.

Chevy doesn't really need a car in that spot. They've got their own niche...the Corvette. A much different niche, yes, but no other American auto maker builds a car in that class. And before anyone says it: NO! The Mustink is NOT in the 'Vette's class. It's it's own thing as well...at least, until the Camaro comes back.

Indeed that was an impressive car.. I sat in the new mustang, and it definitely felt old school while being modern.. I liked it...

They had the F650... My little brother could stand under it!

The GR-1 is gorgeous, too. It's a good mix of the GT and classic Shelby.

which one?

oh...the Mustang Cobra is almost in the same class with the Vette...almost...well, sorta...

I think Chevy plans to make a run at the GT or atleast the Viper with the new Z06...it's touting good numbers so far anyway..
