I did it I traded a friend his all black GT for my 900 rwhp SRT. I am gonna miss 1000hp! But the GT runs strong and handles awesome. At the dyno it put down 551rwhp bone stock paper filters and all. I still have my GTS I think I will wait till the Gen 4 comes out with more HP and get one of those

You didnt go to the Dark side you dip$hit... you went with the BETTER CAR !! Congrats !!

I keep trying to decide what to buy, a POZ06 (Piece Of.. Z06) or a Ford GT. Or just wait for the new viper.. OR.. just buy the 1 of 50 VCA 06 Coupes I am in line for.


Choices .. Choices... either way, you made a good one !!

Congrats, Kenric!

A huge percentage of Ford GT owners are also current or former Viper owners. Something about all-American beauty and power, there is a similar attraction with both cars.

Congrats on your choice. I must say it was not a bad one. I really love the numbers of the GT but ever since I saw that GTX1, I really really want one of those whether or not they produce it or not. CAN NOT WAIT!!

Congratulations on the GT!

The first one I saw in person was all black, looked evil. I have had mine for a couple of weeks now and it is everything I expected and more.

I'll be suprised if you don't catch heat for that, buit I agree 100%. :eek:

It had BETTER be a better car at almost twice the price. Hey... if we're not honest with ourselves, what's the point? We can hope DC steps up and delivers us something as good, if not better.

ummm... minus all the early recalls the GT had :D

I hardly believe you own ALL of these cars at this moment. I want to see a pic of ALL of these cars in one place. You must be a gajillionaire.

Kenric,

Congrats on the new car.

I had delusions about getting the Ford GT but nobody in Ca was willing to deal at MSRP! The wife liked it better than the Viper...

Thanks for the help guys.

But I just took delivery of a blue SRT 10 from Woodhouse not to long ago. You can see the pics at Nu Blu in NorCal thread.

Anyway, when I started my search during the summer, most of the dealers were waiting for shipments to arrive. The only dealer that would let me sit and drive one was a Ferrari/Lamborghini dealership in Saratoga, CA.

It was bought a few days afterwards before I could get my money in order. It had a few miles on it and they were selling it for more than a new one!

I had always wanted a Viper and the practicality of being able to drive it daily is what made me go forward with the Viper. Not that you can't drive the Ford GT everyday...., but how many of you would even dare try and parrallel park something like that in front of a Starbucks!
