A couple questions...

1) How can a dude this young afford this car plus the thousands in mods on Day 1?

2) When is their next video coming out showing it wrapped around a tree?

Here’s a repost of the full Rick Kelly desk drive video if you haven’t seen it. It’s almost an hour long. At 18:00 he drives it around the track.

I was just on the phone with FORD. The Gas Guzzler Tax is ONLY for the Automatic. Ford hand some error and it is being corrected. I know that my invoice will be corrected (I still don't have the car), but for those that already have a manual and have paid the Guzzler tax, they should probably contact Ford.
This is pretty critical information, I'm ordering now too. Do you have the number you called? I will see if I can navigate the system and get the same answer.

Thanks.

I'm so sick of the reviews of this car by a bunch of 16 year olds. How in the hell are they affording a Mach I, much less modding them? And such childish reviews, sheesh.

Please note: my statement about the Gas Guzzler tax was reversed by Ford....

Correction - Subsequently it was reversed, only the manual pays the Gas Guzzler Tax.

Damn I thought I was getting the cherry on top! I'm a MT guy so looks like I'm forking it over.
Boy they are taking it to the sports car crowd EPA says:
" Trucks, minivans, and sport utility vehicles (SUV) are not covered because these vehicle types were not widely available in 1978 and were rarely used for non-commercial purposes."

I'm half surprised the environmentalists haven't gotten congress to close this exemption. On the other side of the coin agriculture, industry, and big corporations will fight that to the death.
