The price i have been hearing since the introduction of bringing the Ford GT40 was 150k. Ever since I first saw the firs show about the design phase on TLC (they actually showed the head designer and his drawings) I have always heard $150,000 for the Ford GT. That new Ford Shelby Cobra is a sweet car too.Originally posted by: Centinall

so they're going for $150k?
I heard the price for the new Cobra is $80k. Anyone hear anything about it? Also heard rumours about dropping a supercharger on the cobra's v-10.
Compared to the Supercars it crushes in tests, the Ford GT is significantly cheaper.Originally posted by: Howard

Yeah, Top Gear said it handled like a Lotus. I want to know if he was being serious, or over exaggerating.Originally posted by: Don_Vito

It is largely handmade. It has an all-aluminum body, a handbuilt engine and exhaust (courtesy of Rousch, if memory serves), huge Brembo brakes, suspension by Lotus, and lotsa other very spendy parts. Frankly the car offers a lot of value - nothing short of a Ferrari Enzo can consistenly beat one in acceleration (0-60 in 3.3 sec!), and it is probably the best-handling car ever built in the United States. The Top Gear review is really illuminating - the clip is available here.
Obviously it was exaggeration but I don't think it was a lot of exaggeration.Originally posted by: KraziKid
