Just another unattainable Ford Unicorn. They C8 is everywhere. I don't know how Chevrolet keeps up. That could have been Ford with most of the Ford ballers driving GT40's now.
Ford releasing a supercar Mustang Thursday 17th
- Thread starter svtfocus2cobra
- Start date
Better have a 3.5 ECOBOOST or all EV.
I was going to ask, "Whats the point?" But then realized I'm out of touch...
Ford is already building 67 of the 2023 Ford GT Mk IV Limited Edition. $1.7M and again, you have to be selected to purchase.
So this Mustang could be $300K or $7M, it was not built for me. They're looking at a different level of customer.

Honestly the car is super nasty. The level of exotic content is actually well beyond what’s in a lot of competitive vehicles, some of which will invariably trickle down the line up. But it is very expensive.
Yeah I really love those guys. Larry is the ****in man, and obviously Raj. But there’s just a ton of awesome people over there who really give a shit and know their shit when it comes to motorsports and performance. It’s a big part of the allure of programs they’re involved in.
110% agree.
Also, I hope top Ford brass is realizing that while it's super cool to be releasing all of these new performance models....Darkhorse, Darkhorse R, GT4, GT3, Golden Child....it's pretty souring for dealers that are still at least a year out as far as allocation goes on normal vehicles for retail customers.
Oh yea, even the MK2 has normal lugs. Interesting. Fairly irrelevant really though.
Well, this is cool I guess. I'm looking forward to seeing the drive train. Please have a real sequential (I know... it won't..)
Centerlocks are cool, and running endurance races, it's sooooo much faster. But for sprint races (no tire changes), track days (not rushed tire changes) and the average Joe that likes to blast around Mexico in a fast car.... the lugs are much appreciated. Carrying around a 350-450# torque stick isn't the most convenient.
Great... another millionaire's car.
Yeaaaa, I have about 10 centerlock cars in the fleet. I love them on the open wheels where torque spec is only about 110lb. HATE them on Radicals/CUP cars.
I don't know anyone who races endurance outside of Lucky Dog crap haha
Exactly. haha Pro teams!
I would love to do a 6-12 hour race with another driver. I just cant afford/justify the consumables haha It would turn my $5k track weekend into $15k really quickly.
You'd honestly probably have more fun doing endurance in Lemons/Lucky dog. Less money less care
I met Larry years ago when I was doing Formula SAE. He is the real deal for sure. I sometimes think that people forget they are a major Tier 1 supplier as well.
I agree. I've talked to a few guys about scrounging up a team!
It is...but to be competitive you're still $100-150k in a car.
You can do spec e46 for way less.
And be competitive?
