For sure. Are you going for 2026 on your allocation or are you still waiting to hear if there’s going to be some additional options for next year first (like an expanded gas tank)?
Simply put, the car is worthless to me unless I can run flat out for 30 mins at Daytona. Im waiting to see what/who gets this car out at the track to see what they can do.

It's simple physics. If the 500 can't do it with a 16 gallon tank, how can the GTD with the same tank?

We will see

I like to disassemble things.
Hey Tob @Epiphany , does this align with what you’ve heard re: magnesium wheels?

I was told that months ago. I recently saw a video of some delivered GTD's and the narrator kept saying the car had magnesium wheels. I asked if what we were told was incorrect and it was confirmed, only aluminum wheels are available at present and anyone that claims otherwise is wrong.

Correct, couple videos have mis stated that mag wheels are on the car. Pretty easy to do, as the pre hype, really focused on them (and they also match the aluminum wheels past the "magnesium" branding) .

Another detail that has been posted, by a very credible source, is that when (and if) the mag wheels finally come, they may look different. The way I read this, is that perhaps the "supply issues" might be due to Fords validation process (the previously shown design can't pass). My understanding is that the ring time was set on aluminum wheels.

Are these pre release photos, photoshopped, or has someone just been plain naughty ?

I know its grainy, but to my eye, it looks like that might have 'magnesium' engraved into the rim at the bottom pocket :

That looks like the car that was shown (1st showing of the carbon series) at LeMans 2024, and indeed it was on mag wheels. That car was obviously a pre production vehicle, vs a fully validated car. This is a close up of that car's wheels when on display at LeMans.

I actually painted a four eye that color way back in the day. That color is just a base clear, the rapid red is a tri-stage, in essence a candy.


Mid 80's to 90's Mid red garnet metalic rebranded/named.

Agreed, they’re two different colors. While Ford has been known to rebrand past colors, that’s not the case with Rapid Red (at least that I’m aware). They do change names for the same color when it’s on different vehicles (Fighter Jet Gray = Mustang, Cactus Gray = Bronco), but I’ve not seen them do that with Rapid Red either.

The new Molten Magenta Metallic color looks great, saw one in person over the weekend. Would love to see that color on a GTD

That is pretty, but not what I'd want on a track car that see sticky tires throwing trash at. Tri coats are a rpita to match.

You’re not wrong there, for sure not for the inexperienced. Thankfully we have ppf these days. It wouldn’t bother me to have a tri state on a Gtd, but it’d for sure get ppf in the right areas.

Wonder what if anything adding it to one of these would do affect the value. As it wasn't factory applied. I'd think buyers of these if and when they cross an auction block stage will be anal about everything on a vehicle like this.
