Cool car. What about the build quality though? Is it "built ford tough"?

What is the website that those videos come from? I've watched quite a few that've been done by that guy and enjoy them.

As must as I dislike Ford....I suppose that's pretty cool.

I went to the NE Auto show today and saw the GT40. It definitley looks unique and pretty mean. But like most of you said, Will it F-ail O-n R-ace D-ay??

I would hope that with the kind of money Ford is asking they took that in to mind. I would suspect they did. No one would turn that kind of moeny over for a retooled SVT Mustang...

The Saleen has deffo had its issues - I've seen in dual with the Vettes at many endurance races - Le Mans, Sebring, Petit, Mid Ohio etc. Konrad et al can really make that car move - they just have trouble keeping its insides off the track. In fairness, it's done OK now and again.

I'm quite optomistic about the GT. Can't deny its heritage.

I like the Ford GT, I think Ford did a good job with the redesign, its going to be a beast.

The GT40 vid as well as the Gallardo vid were hosted at http://www.polarisuk.com/ but I don't see anywhere on that site that has anything to do with cars.
