Jim Hackett cancelled it and decided to build this instead. Lightweight and of course all electric.

What? No roll cage on that death trap?

That thing would snap a neck quick.

it's just me trying to convince Ford to beef it up.
all the track guys would tell you it's not needed and I would agree - on certain tracks.
on your Daytona, you could use 800.

I'm sick and tired of being right on the ass of a high end supercar and as soon as it opens up to the NASCAR portion of the track, they are gone.

The difference between a 2:05 lap and a 1:5X lap? Same kind of car but more horsepower.

From what I understand, the GT500 is at least 6 months away.

I am out .:doh:
May be I will just add a 2018 GT with the A10 and whipple the GT 350 .
All for less than what the GT500 would have cost even if I traded in the GT 350

"From what I understand"...
I could be wrong or have misunderstood... I am not making a claim with any authority here.

Six months away from being able to order makes sense. Or are you saying six months away from any type of reveal

What happened to the bronco?

Bronco is still a little ways out.

I still think the GT500 will be there.

I'm holding out hope as well! Friday will be here soon enough and we will know something hopefully!

What if I told you Hackett cancelled it. That's one way of making you feel good about it coming after 8 months.

Ford will announce the "New" GT500 will be built on the Fiesta chassis to compete with the other 500, made by Fiat. No striping packages will be available to save weight. After all, cars are just like cubicles, only with wheels.
