Off-topic Talk Where overpaid, underworked S2000 owners waste the worst part of their days before the drive home. This forum is for general chit chat and discussions not covered by the other off-topic forums.

They wouldn't, would they?

Yum! Supposedly "production capable" we'll see.
Anyone else think that the rear tires seem woefully inadequate? They say that SVT was involved with making the prototype... (along with "living legends group" - the same group that did the thunderbird). Oh - and it's not a "new" car - but a continuation of the original - or so they say. Here's hoping that they will make it (and that they have the Z06 and new viper in their sights... or better that they have Ferrari in their sights, like old times.) 500hp/500ft.lbs

It needs the "Gurney Bubble", but I hope ford builds it. I rather have this Gt40 than
a 360 Modena. It's always been one of my favorites.

rzrsedg,
Thanks for all the pics and links.
The GT40 has been one of my all time favs.
As I kid I had every model, slot car, H.O. car
and picture I could find.

I hope I win the lotto by time it goes into production.

Do they even make H.O scale anymore?
