Yeah. I saw him On Howell Mill Rd. going onto 75 south. put the call out.

Gotta say I'm not at all impressed. The rise of the rear wheelarches is interupted by the rear spoiler area. The Tail lights are sucktastic, slanted, and look nasty. The headlights look to be a mixture between 1980 technology, suck, and blue filters. (I know they are real hid's, they just don't look too good.) Also, it's too tall.

Now, the way that the nose rises up is well done, as well as the cockpit furnishings. Ford did a damn good job with what they had to work with....

... but it's still strip mining of the soul. The GT-40 was an icon of an era. Ford brought that back as a silly ploy to pull them out of the funk that Nasser threw them into. Declining sales and a loss of direction can't be recovered by dredging up some iconic relic and trying to revitalize it.

Long live the Ford Le Mans MK4 (AKA: GT40), Cosworth 427. A legend, and a truely inspired car full of rich racing heritage and strong wills of designers.
Fuck the Ford GT. Fuck the motor, broken control arms, failure to inspire the soul, and cheap attacks at Ferrari.

when Ford made the original GT40's, they took on the best cars in the world of their time. Without any target other than supreme victory, the designers made a vehicle that decimated all competition.
When Ford made the GT, they picked one ferrari, and singled it out to be their target. And just barely squeaked by.
