It would be great if somebody bought it and made a mold of it , then sold fiberglass replica bodies...

 

It would be even better if Ford actually made the **** thing and called it a Cobra.

 

Dang, got my hopes up for a sec...

 

Yes,that would be ideal, but it seems unlikely now....

 

Indeed, but thats also a tough market to play in. If your going the affordable route, you've got beat the Corvette in price, quality and performance and if your dabbling at the other end then its all Nissan GT-R this and 911 Turbo that with the same price, quality, and performance expectations.

Personally, I'd love to see a regular Production GT(40) but it seems the only truly successful sports cars in america are front engined rear wheel drive or rear engined rear wheel drive. Mid engined cars here except for super exotics just dont seem to make it (Bertone X19, MR2, Fiero, et al)

 

I don't claim that there's a good business case for it, but I would love if Ford (or Lincoln) would make a mid-engined two-seater in the $40-45K range. Maybe co-develop the chassis with Mazda, and let Mazda use it as the basis for resurrecting the RX-7. Just my fantasy.

 

take that car and put a coyote in it

 

Absolutely, I'd love to see a 40-50k mid-engined car from Ford, say with the Roadrunner 5.0 and a weight in or around 2900-3000 lbs. Nothing complicated; just two seats, a well designed fully independant suspension with an M6 transaxle. No exotic materials or complicated hybrid drivetrains with motorized active aero or active suspension.

--->edit<--- Mattor-o'-fact, I wouldnt even mind it being a parts bin car, say if the next gen Mustang were to use the control blade IRS and virtual pivot front suspension, I'd be happy using those parts for the suspension adpated to a mid engined chassis.
