Porn traffic is going to be down across the SVTP member base this evening.
Car looks phenominal in that blue.

Congrats DBK!

From what Dave said the Ford GT came with the opportunity to choose from Fords extended color palette and paint the GT any color. So far Dave has chosen Porsche Riviera Blue and Andy has chosen Lamborghini Arancio Borealis.
Thanks for the info. That makes total sense - buying a car costing that much $$$ you should be able to have it painted any color Ford has available.
Both of those are gorgeous choices.

Thanks guys. Yes, Ford offers a custom paint program on GT for a price. It's a high chroma color so the appearance changes a lot depending on the brightness of the light. Pretty cool effect for a non-metallic color. It's a lot lighter than Grabber, but this car inside looks almost exactly like the 17 GT350 in Grabber does outside in direct sunlight. Get them next to each other and Grabber is definitely a bunch darker.
Well Deserved Dave!! You have given so much time to the great personalities that surround you on both SVTP and on your FordGTForums!! We can't thank you enough...
How about some good interior shots?Thanks guys. Yes, Ford offers a custom paint program on GT for a price.

I second this motion.

Dave did you happen to purchase that Riviera Blue GT3RS that Shelby had a while back? Would have made great stable mates!
That dusk shot is money.
That's a ridiculous color.
That's a ridiculous color.
Looks amazing!
I think we need photos of the stable at this point. You have amassed quite a collection as well over the years. There's not a single bad angle or body line on the GT though. They are pure perfection.
And how about initial driving experience?

Just Wow!!
I think one of my favorite things is the design of the seats. For some reason it just looks old school to me, like 80s with the corduroy grooves.

I took the car out last night just to get gas. I do not have it clear bra'd yet and these cars are extremely susceptible to rock chips because of the tires and aero bits, so I just taped it up with xPel tracwrap temporarily and kept a distance. It was a zoo when I stopped to get gas.
Can't have too much opinion with limited seat time but the car is obviously like nothing else available. It very much feels like a race car. Seating position, visibility, sense of urgency from the powertrain, etc. It's loud for modern standards. The engine really feels like it wants to haul ass at all times and it barks pretty ferociously. It's definitely a distinct experience from behind the wheel.
There were a couple dozen people around the car and some teenager asked if he could get a ride. Everyone was laughing about it so I said **** it and took him out for a while.
Honestly, it's really not very much fun to drive a car like this for tooling around here. Too many camera phones boxing you in from all directions and people abandoning all safe driving practices...

Partially it's just the area I live in. I live right by Woodward, which is an automotive circus. It ebbs and flows between good behavior and reckless idiots ruining it for everyone. We're in reckless idiot season right now.
