Iām not a fan of Speed Phenom but at least he doesnāt blow his cars up. I just donāt think he knows as much about the cars heās reviewing as he leads people to belive. But thatās just my opinion.
The gt is a non entity to me. That it has a Ford nameplate means even less.
at least he is driving them on the track and really drive them he is reasonably fast.
Iād even add that all car enthusiasts should be excited about this car. A supercharged V8 with some really cool technology all over the car is exciting no matter which brand you prefer. It would be easy in todayās climate to just say nah, weāll do the truck, SUV and EV thing and keep the usual Mustang lineup around and not spend the money on a racing program. But Farley said eff that, weāre going racing and weāre going to build a street legal race car. And maybe with this latest halo car having the Mustang nameplate attached to it, it brings in new Mustang customers that keeps the Mustang alive for several more car generations instead of suffering the fate of the Camaro (again).
are people's purchasing decisions this vacuous and shallow?
Considering Multimatic is building the car and not FRAP, the fitment should be top notch. Having seen the most recent Ford GT up close and personal, the quality is through the roof. I would expect that with a half million dollar car though.
Totally agreed on the above with me being an older enthusiast who grew up in the 60's when the term "Pony Car" was coined in 1965 with the launch of Barracuda and Mustang models.
Bro is talking about having to sell cars to have a down payment. He obviously doesnāt know how it works. These cars are very likely going to all cash buyers with substantial assets, not dudes trying scrape down payments together and still pulling out a $200k+ bank note on it. I could be wrong but I donāt believe the Ford GT worked that way (scraping down payments together)
Your Shelby is beautiful by the way. Love the black with Kona stripes!Totally agreed on the above with me being an older enthusiast who grew up in the 60's when the term "Pony Car" was coined in 1965 with the launch of Barracuda and Mustang models.
If I recall correctly there were 8 original Pony Cars including the '67 Mercury Cougar which was my very first car and that got me hooked on the Blue Oval brand some 55 years ago.
What does it say about the incredible history of the Ford Motor Company and in particular Mustang as once January, 2024 comes the final 6th generation Camaro will come off of the assembly line in Lansing, Michigan therefore the only original Pony Car of the original 8 to survive will only be Mustang and that is something to continue to celebrate as a Blue Oval enthusiast!
The problem is that the S550/S650 generation feels more like 50% car and the rest you have to rely on the aftermarket for it. It's an ok daily but that's about it in order to make it a performance car you need to spend at least half a car in parts.
How you think Shmee150 manage to buy Ford GT and Senna at the same week ? He is often talking about the UK financing firm that he is using who specialise in providing loans for hyper cars. If you think someone at that level of car purchases is paying cash for a car instead of investing the money in whatever business venture got them at first place. There special financing companies that specialise in that market and you can own super cars with very reasonable monthly payments because they have a huge balloon payment at the end of the loan term. It's very good schema which is why considering what StangMode is planning to do is suggesting he totally don't have a clue how this game is played.
Thanks and as you can see I have a passion for Blue OTT stripes.
