Was driving into a parking lot off Route 28 Northern VA. As i'm looking for a place to park 5 spaces ahead of me no poo a Ford GT is backing out. Yellow with Dark stripes...looked great. Low as heck. I didn't move an inch...just watched. The driver backed out to face me and slowly drove right by my car and waved. I got a good listen at the engine and it had the old school deep muscle car rumble...like a Shelby almost. Heard him all the way down the street when he got on the road too. I love that car :worship:

Ford GT Now that's a car to dream about. I saw a program on the speed channel where Jay Leno's car was coming down the assembly line. That's as close as I've come to seeing one.

I think I saw the same one in Ashburn the other day. It looked and sounded really sweet. Did the guy driving it have grey hair?

Got one sitting on the showroom floor right now, at the dealership I work at. The pic below is from the summer when we had it out.

Having driven it twice , (and once on the highway), all I can say is OMG, WHAT A CAR!!!! Had it up to 75, and then slowed down. The speed and thrust that car generates is UNREAL!

We got one in (Black with silver stripes) less than two weeks ago and within 2 days it was sold! It's still sitting in our showroom right now until the money situation is all taken care of... It's one sweet car, that's for sure...

Yes, I live in Braintree, MA.
But I am not into racing my baby...just not my thing, besides she is not modded at all. Pure and sweet, like I like her...

I have yet to see one out on the road here (HI). Lucky you! Only aware of 3 in this state. One is white w/blue stripes (sold) the other two are still sitting in dealerships - red w/white stripes and the last one is black w/silver stripes. I checked vin#'s - not yet registered as being sold. (with markup being north of 100K, not surprised. Yuck.)

Edit: forgot to add my story...

I saw one at the 2005 WVIAS...

I think it was white with blue stripes, my friend was too busy looking at a honda to look at it, a HONDA!!!!


The most interesting thing I saw was that the door locks were on the fenders... :scratch:

Hey Jason, the lock cylinders that you saw on the fenders are NOT for the doors. The lock on the driver's side unlocks the front hatch, if you don't use the key fob, and the lock on the passanger side unlocks the aluminum fuel filler door located on the top of the passenger side fender. The regular door locks are just in front of the side air intakes.
