[QUOTE="B7BlownSnake, post: 16946886, member: 112096"] Another thing I was thinking about the motor, (not that this matters as I'm going to need a promotion or 2 before I can afford this car) but it's probably a good thing it's using a proven motor. Yes, a 9000rpm NA V8 would be awesome (because a 900hp, 7500rpm Predator is super whack), but we saw the teething issues the GT350 had, and some issues Z06s have had. Looking at the abnormal hate this car is getting from some, can you imagine if the early GTDs started crapping motors with 50 miles on the odometer? Using a proven motor, you focus on the body and suspension, which are much less likely to have teething issues. And this car is more about the suspension and aero, similar to the GT3RS, than the motor. And that car is super duper MEH, 500hp, so slow and craptacular. And as for the selection process, is this any worse than buying a GT-model Porsche. What types of mark-ups do you think are on the GT3, GT3RS, and 911 S/T? Yes the "social media presence" needed for the first run of FGTs sounded bad, but it seems like true enthusiast customers got the cars in the later runs. And 13COBRA saying Ford will build more then expected, and seeing the enthusiasts in just this thread that have an allocation, maybe Ford is figuring it out? [/QUOTE]
