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. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

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 ... Copied to Clipboard!

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. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Fart_Tzar posted... 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. --- "You need to lay off the peanut-butthurt and u-jelly sandwiches" - Neon Octopus ...

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.
