It's a shame they weren't more successful. The new one is looking slick (even though it's a turbo 6 cyl)

What? They were extremely successful and the demand was stronger than the supply... The only reason they produced so few was by their own intention, they intentionally limited the number manufactured.

I was a little disappointed in that too. I feel there shoulda been at least an option for a V8, but honestly Ford's new V6 is a monster.

Well, you have fucking idiots who do the whole "hurr durr, it's a ford!".

Yeah well, an NSX is a honda, and one of the best cars of all time. As for the ecotech, yeah it's a nice powerhouse, but come on..put a v8 in there like it should be.

You have to be a real stupid dumbass to spend $200 for an oil change regardless of your wealth or the vehicle in question.


You need a lift to get the car off the ground enough to even access the oil pan; he probably doesn't have one at home. Or maybe he's the kind of enthusiast who simply prefers to own and drive vehicles rather than work on them himself.

Hell, the car is so low you probably even need kickers to get it up high enough to even swing the lift arms under it lol

Also, if you ever hope to sell the car, having it not serviced at the dealership is a huge no no.

You don't take your supercar to "jackoff joe's oil emporium to get it serviced.

Seriously lol

For the people who own a Ford GT, $200 is like 20 cents...and the car is getting serviced by the best mechanic in the shop. Only a handful of techs are qualified to service the GTs and faster Mustangs.

I brought my Corvette in to Chevy for an oil change and they have special techs that service it.

I'd honestly be surprised if anyone other than a dealership or a specialty exotics shop would even touch it. The risk is too high if something goes wrong.

And yeah, our CEM babysat that car from writeup to completion, making sure nobody but himself or the tech touched it. It was pretty funny, since the customer himself let one of the shop boys sit in it and take a picture.

yeah, and audis share parts and platforms with VW's. An audi TT could be a glorified Golf.

But again, it's about the dealership experience

I love the look of the GT but apparently this model is kind of eh. Car review shows are always super iffy on it.

Jeremy Clarkson's was a massive lemon if I recall.

Clarkson is a xenophobic fuck and has the worst taste in cars though. Dude is usually blatantly anti-american cars and anti-porsche. He was funny as hell and pretty much made the show, but at one point his flaws got in the way of him, much like Charlie Sheen

Clarkson's had issues with his because his insurance demanded he have the car wired up with an aftermarket tracking/alarm device that never worked properly.

He secretly likes most American cars, he's critical of everything. He called the Audi R8 boring. Really?

Keep in mind he liked his GT even though it was constantly fucking around. He also has loved Corvettes since the Z06 came out and he likes American Pickups too (Hellcat).

that's because you have a massive engine sitting 1 foot in front of you. The heat it gives off must be insane and you probably have to shut the cabin air vents or you'll burn your legs and face lol.

Well you can have both for the price of a new GT with plenty of money left over considering it's $450k... But even if you had the money you wouldn't be able to get a GT anyways they pre-approved everyone getting them and you basically had to have owned previous high end Ford's (they made you list the VIN #'s), have a social media presence (they made you list your accounts), and they wanted to know you were actually gonna drive the car and not just garage it or showroom it.
It's probably the hardest a company has ever made someone work to be able to give them half a million dollars.

Also, to buy one of the new GT's you have to be on a preapproved buyer list (a-la ferrari). Even people with the last gen GT are being denied in favor of non car people (youtubers, athletes, ect..) so the car can have more visibility.

Who spends Ford GT money on a Ford?

You an buy a BMW I8, an Audi R8, or even better, a Porsche or maybe even a Ferrari for that money, and the dealership experience is out of the world there.

Imagine getting your car serviced next to Ford Fiestas...


because it's a Ford GT


Exactly... a Ford
