No on both. Ford never sent them a car for either.
That sucks. I was looking forward to see how it did. Did Ford have any cars in the competition ?

The revised Gt350 was in the competition and came in second.
Pretty impressive. I think this is the third time the GT 350 has come in second competing against cars that cost twice as much and then some. Ford should be very proud that a $ 65,000.00 sports coupe is beating 8 other very high priced performance cars.

Although I am confused as to why the GT 500 was not included. I am sure it would have been in the top 3.

Because it wasn't provided - most likely because it wasn't fully ready. They test what they get, not exclude include / exclude anything.

I see. I thought they picked and voted on the vehicles that they wanted to compete.

they do. They could have waited for a production car. It’s MT.

The 500 wouldn’t win drivers car because it’s too easy to drive fast. They’ll Find a way to make that sound like a bad thing.

the alpha dog Shelby was built to hurt feelings. And people don’t give awards to cars that crap all over their favorites.

I actually think they'll love it because of how easy it drives given the extreme monster it actually is. I'm predicting some awards are coming for the GT500...

when straight up logic wins out in some of the “spin” rags, it will be a great day.
