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...

Very true, I was at the 24 when that thing hit the tracks....great potential, but just couldn't hack it.

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.

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.
