This is for the exotic car clan out there. I saw one today that kinda got me aroused. I had to snap a couple of pics. Hell, I guess I'll pick up a beer for the first one to guess this car.....
more clues to come, but isn't that a sexy rotor.

Oh my god! No pictures in any magazine have done this thing justice. I can't believe that ford really made this car. What do these things sell for again if your lucky enough to be picked?

It is a very nice car, but... for chrissake, why can't Ford get the fit and finish right on even this exotic???

In just the above pics, these things really stick out:

- the wheel center cap cap is randomly thrown on there - it doesn't align with anything, not the spokes, not the nuts, nada
- the steering wheel has a huuuge gap between the leather and the metal; the cheap ass plastic center cap/horn button could've come from a first generation Kia
- to the right of the steering wheel, the panels don't align well (can't tell if that's the airbag cutout or the glovebox)

WTF Ford? This is your flagship, the best you can do? :roll:

You are so right, and what about those Pep Boy rims? Maybe Ford and other American auto makers should sent there products to Japan to be assembled? We have been studying the imports quality for years, and we still cannot match it. This year in one of the auto magazines. I think it was motor trend, not one American car made the top ten list. The American auto industry shoud be ashamed of themselves. I will say that the vette is a different case. Just look at the new Z-06.

The Z06 has it's flaws but it's half the price for same (or better, depends on who you talk to) performance. Throw on a set of $1400 headers on the Z and it's end game for the Ford GT.

It's end game for the GT stock for stock with the new Z06 according to Car and Driver.

i was just scootin down folly rd. yesterday, enjoying a nice afternoon ride. this thing caught my eye. figured since i had the camera handy, i'd stop, shoot, drool and harass for a little bit. the guy that was driving the tow truck fired it up, sounded sweet, deep throaty rumble. this car was heading to the UK. the driver said that this was the 16th car he's picked up for this guy to drop off at the ports so they can be shipped over.

The irony is that many of these "Japanese imports" are built right here in the US, some of them probably down the road from where Fords are built.
