[QUOTE="bret a ewing, post: 12000683, member: 27412"] The first statement is of course true. But I'm not sure the market is solid for the 1/4 million$ Ford. Below is an excerpt taken from question 3 of a Q&A with the Chief Engineer of the FGT project. It may give some insight. Ford GT Forum (3): If you had to name one item that you fought for/against that brought you the most grief, what would it be? Jamal Hameedi: "Doing a non standard key (for - lost), covering the passenger airbag with leather (for - lost), the roll down windows (for - won), the 90 degree door (for - won), dual fuel fillers (against - won), the belly pans (for - won), Nardo (for - won), Nurburgring (for - lost) [B]but probably the biggest item: convincing people within Ford that if we built a car deserving of the Ford GT nameplate, people would pay more than $100,000 for it (for - won). Several people wanted it to be priced at $99,995 and it would have been a VERY different car at that price. Trust me - you wouldn't have liked it".[/B] [/QUOTE]
