At 0-60 in 3.3 seconds it fullfills the legacy!
yesterday I fell in love with a car! This is the new Ford GT! It has 550 horsepower and does 0-60 in 3.3 seconds! Three seconds! Tha must be what a viper launch feels like! All I need would be to have Sarah Rush yell LAUNCH!
One added thing I love about this car is that it continues a great legend. Back in the 1960s when I was very very tiny, this car's predecessor won hands down on the Le Mans racing circuit. It was a champion. The Ford GT won 1st, 2nd AND 3rd place for three years in a row!
This new car revives that tradition faithfully. Its a gorgeous continuation of the legend.
Ford really did it right with this one!
You know... I think Tom Selleck would look great in a red GT in the new Magnum!
Too bad it is estimated to cost $150,000
But still....

Tom -
I like your choice in cars...... At least it's a Ford! Here's my choice for 2005 - the newly redesigned Mustang! It may not go from 0 to 60 in 4 seconds, but it doesn't cost 150 large either!
What do you think?

That's not the pic I had in mind.....
How did that happen? There's no way that *I* would post a pic of Barney, the bloody buggery dinasaur!
I went back and fixed it though......

BWAHAHAHA! That is funny when yu thing about it.
I always did love mustangs! I am a camaro man myself. Love them. And sad they stopped making them. But Mustangs really look good. Especially the Shelby variants!
I also loved those Lindsay Wagner Mustang commercials too!

I'm glad to see that Ford is bringing back the model lines that they made well. The GT is nice, but way too expensive. Here's what I would buy if I had $40,000:

It would never make it up my driveway, but boy is it pretty.

Yes old stuff is good. Better than cheap new stuff which cost too much.
