me and several of my freinds are very upset with ford. we all wanted to buy th e ford gt but dealers are saying that there are none available. and that prodcution was slashed ....this is absurd. i buy many exotics a year and never had a problem buying a car i wanted ,until now!

guess i ill go get a zo6 or a dodge viper.

whats the use of a supercar that cannot be bought!

mad and frustrated

so what of the people who were left out of buying a F60 (399 built).
That is why it is called a limited number, you have to get in early.

I think Ford had 2500 people from Europe wanting one and they sent just over 100 there.

How many will Ford make.

I understood it to be 500 per year for three years.

If they aint making a hefty profit at $140K, then they've obviously screwed up. In my opinion, a cadillac shouldnt cost much more than a pinto to build, yet they can charge 5 times the price.
if the GT was 'mass produced' I bet ford could drop the price to the point prospective corvette buyers would happily hang up their bow-ties and smile all the way to the Ford dealer...
If they are making money at the current price, then they are kinda stupid for 'turning away the work' in my opinion. If they know the market is there for a corvette/viper replacement, why dont they go after it- theres been more buzz about the GT than anything I can ever recall. they sure got the car right, but marketing dropped the ball bigtime.
If ford hold the mustang pricing, and build them fast enough, I really think they'll have a 1965 like sales record this coming year- wouldnt be suprised if they either jack the prices or produce too few...same marketing/accounting people are the brains behind moving so many production plants to mexico, then wonder why sales are declining- lets see, the guy they laid off didnt buy one, and the poor mexican worker couldnt afford one...DUH...pretty simple to most people, but not the fianancial gurus- they'll find a way on paper to make more money by building another multimillion dollar facility in china to cut costs/increase profits...(forgetting about associated lost sales). wouldnt know a good thing if they saw it

There is still the Shelby GR 1 concept with the V10 that could be produced as a direct competition to the Corvette and Viper. It looks fantastic and if it goes as good as they hope then maybe it could be the new badboy on the block.

i seen the new Cobra concept cuz this is supposedly the last year for the FordGT from what i hear. but the new Cobra concept is lyk 605 horsepower and the size of a miata with turbos or superchargers help and V10, lol Ford said if they get demand lyk they got for the FORD GT they'll make it, shiyitttt, make it already thats a serious car

True enough there!

Europe got 100 cars...Canada, who has no major ocean to the USA only got 15 delivered. Go figure that one out.

I'm guessing they were imported for mega $$$.
