unless I want to be king of LA traffic commute. I drive my stealth Turbo to work every day, and nobody notices me. I assume anyone who buys this car will not need to sell anything else (perhaps a condo in Hawaii). However, I must sat that I have been craving for a GT3 with manual transmission for occasional driving, but given where prices are, the new Shelby 350R is quite tempting. I am preparing myself psychologically to go to a Ford dealer one of these days, but not sure I'll be able to. By the way, well done Ford.

Nope...It's a Ford! :)

I want one as my mid-engined car. I also like the new Mustang GT 350 with a flat plane crankshaft V8.

Which one?? LOL

Seriously, they have not announced pricing on the new FGT. Speculation ranges from $200k to $400k. Would be very interesting and successful at the lower end of the range I think and I would be in line for one...

I don't think they can demand the higher range of $200-$400. You are getting into exotics at that level. In the $100-$150 range they compete with the new NSX and the new R8.

I went to Detroit and saw the Ford GT and the Mustang GT 350 in person. Both looked fantastic to me. I am big Ford fan and these guys have really done a nice job. And yes, you can still get a manual tranny. The GT will be priced around $175 MSRP plus the dealer markup (tbd)...

It certainly looks fantastic. With the Ford GT priced around $175K, the NSX at $155K. the Zora probably somewhere around $160K, and new 991 TTS Cab at $195K.....I feel like my 997.2 TTS Cab is a screaming deal and value for the performance.

I'd love to have a ford gt, really hold their value well.

gt40 reminds me of mach V in speed racer.

if i would have known that buying that car for $195 would be worth $250k today i would have bought it...

need to see it in person, but under $200K they have a winner IMO. If it's NA, with a manual and monster torque of a big American V8 then it will have a nice niche, especially when everything else in that performance category is turbo + dual clutch auto

You have to hear it!!

The car looks great. Ford has another winner.
Price point will be important.

I would love to get one. Not to replace my 911, but to have in addition. :)

do I hear the sound of turbo's whistling in that video?

I Just did a quick google search and there's talk of a twin turbo 3.5L V6 making 600 hp to power the GT. boy was I wrong, I figured they'd put a big NA V8 or a supercharged V8, but a small twin turbo V6 would be soooooooooo far from the DNA of the original... very surprising

^yep...I would have loved to have seen an all aluminum 427ci V8 too, but nope it will be a V6 with Turbos
