[Specracer]

Don't like the RTR additions at all. but it is a consistent branding for them, at least.

I was thinking something along those lines in that he did what was to be expected. That said, the car was doomed the moment it was assigned to him.

I thought he would do vinyl but to do permanent paint is something else.

Ford Mustang GT3 Testing at Monza

^^^ Cool video, but I think that is a purpose built GT3 race car, not a street legal GTD. Many many, many differences, including engine, transmission (and location), suspension etc etc etc. The GT3/4 was inspiration for GTD, but they took GTD a very different direction, as they did not have to adhere to any rules packages, of various racing sanctioning bodies.

The hole at the rear… that’s typical Spy Hunter oil slick and smoke sceeen portal integrated into the GTD (optional As Built feature, about another $250k for the combo):

The rear 50 Cal option is a $1M Dealer ADM:

The nostalgia!!
This just made my day - thank you for this post. (quickly googles if there is a Spy Hunter iphone game...)

Did you know that Spy Hunter was originally going to have James Bond’s name in it?

There are many things non-GTD discussed in this thread.

If anyone is contemplating a C8 Z06 or ZR1 in lieu of or in addition to the GTD, be aware. GM is fixing the issue but another problem for them on top of the 6.2L L87 recall.

As long as you don't overfill the tank or allow gas to drip into the engine, you should be fine.

I think owners are the problem. Stop filling up like a savage.

I heard from a friend it was the cooling fans blowing fuel vapors onto the hot exhaust manifolds.
No clue of the validity of that statement but seems reasonable enough

For those with allocations. Do you have to pay anything to the delivery dealership ? I assumed all finances were handled via ford directly. The dealership doesn’t have any role in it except delivery location.

Actually the dealer handles the transaction. It's a "normal" car sale. They get the MSO from Ford, all funds are paid to the dealer and they handle all the paperwork. The dealer gets a flat fee commission that is included in the MSRP (that number is $15k). Pretty simple process. And no the dealer is not necessarily the delivery location. The buyer dictates where the car is delivered. Reliable is the carrier, and they will go anywhere they can fit the truck. The selling dealer does need to be present to deal with the paperwork. There is a dealer in MI that will "sell" a LOT of these cars, and travels to all delivery's. This was the same process as the NGT, and they sold more of them than any dealer in the US.

Ah okay. That makes sense. Is there a possibility that the dealer can mark it up?
