My son, Alex, has money down on one already.

I loved the "repop" version of the GT40.... but this new one is almost as bad ass as the Porsche 918....

If people want a V6 fine, but at least make a V8 an option on these 2 halo vehicles, extra certification costs or not.

At the very same time they were debuting the V6 Ford GT & Raptor, they tweeted this out...

Why didn't this thing get the GT350s V8 with hair driers? Lame. This thing is gonna get sawed off by way too many cars to defend that engine choice- namely Z06s, GTRs, and Vipers. Forget bulls, horses, and angry things from Germany. I understand that all of them will be bought by guys who iron their jeans, but for a guy like me half the fun is the sound. This one's a miss.

The tree huggers that run Ford wanted a Ford GT EV.

They compromised.

The Porsche 911 is within the Corvette's performance capabilities with a 6. I'm interested to see the real world performance numbers. I think they did a great job styling wise making something with the blue oval look exotic.
