Not sure if you're aware of Top Gear - it's an automotive show on TV in the UK - been running for many years - I watched it as a kid and I've now lived in the US for 17 years and it's still going. Jeremy Clarkson is a bit of a celeb in the Uk from this show - love him or hate him kind of a guy. Always been quite a good source for new car showcases.

Yeah, I figured it was a tv show. I like the guy, he puts some life into the reviews which is nice.

I don't have any hang-ups about Fords. I've always had a soft spot for old Mustangs... especially if their name was Elanor.

This car looks like a KILLER! I would love to have one.

You guys can get most all of the Top Gear videos on www.racingflix.com . Great site with a large number of video options.

Does anyone know if the GT is using the same engine as the Mustang Cobra? I heard the Cobra was having a lot of problems concerning durrability. This car does look to be promissing, I hope Ford does not botch another great idea with cost saving measures to help their immediate bottom line problems. If this car is built correctly, Ford may put itself right back into the fray of the top notch automobile manufacturers.

The performance sunbers are impressive, the heritage is there, the only question is performance over time. Will it flame out?

Man-oh-man, Ford quality? Ford service? No way I'd own one. I don't care what it's performance is.
