Yes, most are crappy mblommel, you are 100% correct about everything you said about 1c3d0g, he’s ignorant, biased, and totally out of touch with reality when regarding the car industry, he ignores the facts and is basically a conspiracy theorist when it comes to him defending his precious and altogether crappy american cars.

And you don’t question mine. Blind support is a bad as treason in my book. It only makes us weaker.

Not all American cars are crappy, just most.

DON’T you question my Patriotism because it’s as strong as ever. Now, America makes great cars. Stop reading the bullshit jap-loving magazines spew every time they make a so-called “review”. Yes, I agree the American auto industry might not be up to German standards, but then again, you only pay half as much. You get what you pay for. But to call all of them crappy is out of line.

LamboZ: and with good reason! You won’t be ever seeing me in a jap crap, I’d rather WALK my way home, boy.

Damn. If I could afford this car I would have bought one. One of the few Fords that I thought were really something. Shame about the poor rearward visibility, though.

mblommel, though your comments are HUGELY generalized and stereotypical, I would totally agree with the mom/SUV statement, the pickup statement (though not necessarily a hick buying one, since it seems like everyone who doesn’t need a pickup these days have them), i’d agree with the mustang statement but only in that they sell well, not necessarily to hicks again, and definately the rental fleet comment, as everyone knows, ford makes a lot of money on rental fleets selling cars that noone would buy otherwise.

1c2d0g, you’re as blatantly biased against japanese products as he is against american products, don’t be a hypocrite.

I think Motor Trend put the GT at 3.2s

I’d say no halo effect at all. It’s an amazing car, but it shows a lack of imagination. The guys who built the original GT40 were some bad mofos and whipped some Ferrari ass at LeMans.

This thing is a toy for rich old guys to drive their trophy wives around in and relive the “good old days”.

The sad fact is nobody is interested into stepping into a Ford dealer unless they are:

A-Soccer mom looking for SUV
B-billy bob looking for pickem-up truck
C-mullet wearer looking for Mustang
D-rental fleet buyer (ok I know they don’t go through dealers but you get the point, ford’s lineup is B-O-R-I-N-G.)

Of all the cars to cut from production I really have to wonder why they HAVE TO stop building the Ford GT. It’s an excellent halo vehicle. Whatever they want to say about exclusivity, it would be better to retain this supercar in their lineup.

The Shelby Mustang GT500 just went up several notches, and it’s got nothing on this car.

Where exactly does LLN get its info.

How can the 3.3 time for 0-60 be true. The most optimistic I have heard is 3.5

Amazing car. One day it’ll return.

Any “halo effect”?

In a word, No.

A lot of Ford “glorifies the past when the future dries up” (from U2′s “God Part2″)

Viper did so much more for Dodge than this expensive retro toy did for Ford.

Now back to going forward for the folks in Dearborn.

Did they make a profit on the GT operation ?

Once Ford gets back on it’s feet it will be able to compete in this segment again.
A very impressive car, and for the money, one of the best exotic cars in the world.

Being a Ford salesperson, I don’t think the car had a halo effect for sales. But it did have a great effect on the image of Fords peformance to the consumer. It gave us salespeople something to talk about and showoff. It probably also brought up the spirits of the UAW and other Ford employees.

This car has so much more impact when you see it in person. Just curious, does anyone think the car had a halo effect for Ford?

Stunning. Legacy.

You can still get exceptional replicas of the GT40.

Long live the GT. May you always be remembered as Ford’s first step in the right direction to recovery.
