It won't be fast, but God help anyone who tries to lap them.

Can't wait to see if Ford sues...as they should, given how aggressively Ferrari protects its own trademarks around the world.

Does Ferrari event know a Ford F-150 exists? If so, I don't think they would want to be associated with it.

Alonsa is faster. Do you understand me, Alonsa is faster.

All cars must move off line, our F150 is hauling a full load of $hit.

Of course they do. Here's an early prototype and how they created it.

I'm fuzzy on this, so someone help me. A long time ago, Ford named a car Tracer, I think, and goy sued by a SCCA Club Racer who had a copy right to the Tracer name. He had a race team called Tracer Racing, again, "I think". I heard he got a ton of money in settlement. Somebody help me with the facts of the suit, or did I dream it.

Toyota had to change the name of the T-100 to Tundra because it was too close to the older F-100 Ford pick-ups. That’s an epic pic Kurt R, only in Arkansas. I can just imagine the conversation with the insurance adjuster.

Correction, which was a direct result of the fact that Hank the Deuce took $#!+ from no one. Bill Jr? Not so much so. I'll be surprised if he even has the nads to bring it up, much less sue, Ferrari.
