except he didn't explain squat! No spreadsheet, no discussion of "taking out equity" or any of the other jargan, nor actual terms, depreciation schedule, fees, penalties, re-fi hazards, zip! I rarely have YT moments of "that's 20 minutes I won't get back" but this one qualifies.

And I'm sure a hundred million dollar family business as implicit collateral probably greases the skids somewhat.

I had several of the early models when I was young. Making a Fox track-worthy was a _chore_, and even after you were on track, they were a handful. Anything earlier than that would have been a nightmare.

Understood but if someone requires that kind of down payment up front I would have to question not only the purchaser but also the lender.

No, Ford is being run by out of touch millionaire marketing douch nozzles, who deserve to be shot for perverting a car into a brand.

Fix the gd paint, the shitty ass A10 trans programming, the sad excuse of magride, and the marshmallow bushings at every critical location.

When you can't get even basics right, it's not time to hob nob with the Richy rich.

Ford has taken a lot of positive steps over the past year in an effort to improve quality. I can’t say for sure how well this is going, but the fact that they held up the initial S650 deliveries for quality concerns is at least a sign that they’re trying. I know this is completely anecdotal, but my 22 GT has really good paint and build quality overall.
This all is besides the point anyway. A GT3 track car made by Multimatic isn’t likely to have any effect at all on what happens in Ford’s factories.

This thing is built by Multimatic. They build race cars. That says enough. The price matches the reported performance.

Gotta love Shmee's energy in every vid I see him in.

That said my thoughts and impressions:
What I like/love about the it:
All the aero and cut-outs appear functional
The front end - honestly the dark horse should've had this front end, we'll see how long it takes the aftermarket to do it for the DH and the GT.
The design of the Magnesium wheels and the fact they are made of forged magnesium
The look of the widebody.
Titanium Exhaust (finally titanium for the V8).
Sport Cup 2R tires
Multimatic Semi Active Suspension (Remember Ford GT's drop)
Swan Neck wing

What I hate:
That cost: My god why can't we have cool cars that are affordable. I feel like ford had a chance to really stick it to Porsche and AMG Black Series but I guess that's the cost of Homologation.
Manual, what's that? Seems ironic that the S650 went on a hole spiel about save the manuals when it was introduced to the world, but whatever I won't be able to afford one anyone.
Weight: Yeah the S550 and the S650 are fat cows, and even with a full carbon fiber body its still going to weigh something due to its inherent bones.
Supercharged V8: Look don't get me wrong I love the sound of a supercharged V8, but my god if just think about the eargasm that could have happened if the car was a tweaked version of the race engine tuned to screaming to 9K RPM (keeping in mind that Porsche's engines are N/A in their GT3 and GT3RS).
Price
Price...
Price.......

The ford GT3 is also N/A and 300 less HP. I prefer a high strung NA car but blowers require less stress as long as heat is managed. I think we need to wait and see what the rich folk suck out of these cars.

before we all go bonkers with speculation, let’s see how it does against the best of the best: I would never count out an insane hybrid AWD hyper car version.
