2 Exotics Gone for now FE and GT

[viperdrummer]

Posted more pics in last week than in 12 years. 2 icons gone (Ford since 06) Since Ford's was built for the centennial I doubt we ever see that one again.

Viper still has Ralph and VCA, so we can hope. If not, a great run.

Those are some sick pics!!!

A few more--I am no photographer as you can tell.

Terry,

With cars like that, you don't have to be a photographer!!

 

[viperdrummer]

George--we still miss you in Va. I can't even keep up with all the places you have been.

Nice pics!

Ford would have continued to make the FGT had in not been for the change in fed regulations in 07 that made nearly every design distinction that made the FGT the FGT impossible to continue (ie, one small example - side impact, getting those aero doors (that also cut into the roof -line) to accomodate glass that could "roll down" was no small miracle as it stood - putting a side air bag in there would have blown away 2 key design cues right there alone). Theres alot more but I won't bore you with them ... it won't be built again.

a bright-spot FYI for ya though (that I cannot elaborate on here) - Ford is not done making "super cars" yet

You are correct on history. And I have heard rumors as well but it won't be a GT.

Both are incredible looking cars! Talk about a gorgeous pair!

 

[Twister]

Im not bored...tell me more about the fgt

 

[viperdrummer]

One more to round out power from the Big 3 (ok, I don't count Toyota et al). The Caddy is a bit of a stealth rocket with daily driver manners and 556 HP.

The guy I bought 0002 from talked me into one. (another of his babies)
Traded the current M5 and never looked back. The next M5 should be sweet.

Thanks man. She is fun

Nice rides for sure man. How you like the GT I looked at a heritage painted one a month or so ago. They seem to be built really well from I seen on the one I looked at. I just wondered how they ride and such?
