4 years of Ford GT production
FYI:
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif., – Applicants and fans of the Ford GT can rejoice as Ford Performance is adding two more years of production for the all-new carbon fiber supercar. The announcement comes on the heels of letters sent to potential customers notifying them of their application status to purchase the car.

So what happens if a mid engine Vette hits the market in the middle of the GT production for less the half the price and equal or better performance? Seems kind of risky for the buyer and the GT's image.

I don't think that would make much of a difference to be honest. Back when the last gen Ford GT came out the 2006 C6 Z06 was offering more performance for way less than half the price. Those cars still ended up going up in value since their release.

When I flew to Texas to buy Eddie Hill's Supercharged Caddy he showed me his immaculate GT among his other toys. When he tilted open the rear something didn't look right and Eddie said yeah, I put a bigger supercharger on it...This from a guy who has already gone over 300 mph! Gotta love that guy! His DD is now a twin turbo Mercedes roadster.

That is why I submitted an application for the opportunity to purchase a new one, and I just last week received my acceptance letter. Whether I can actually be able to make the purchase when the time comes, remains to be seen, but what an honor to be one of the few accepted out of so many thousands of applicants.
Here is my/now Terry's Cadillac STS-V, behind the Ford GT. I absolutely loved that STS-V!

Congratulations Eddie! Will you keep both? Maybe you can sell me a few acres on your ranch for the 'down payment' on the new GT...
Got new dampers on the V and I'm going to head up the coast highway to test them out, maybe go on into Oregon and over to Crater Lake NP...maybe even Pike's Peak. I love retirement. Say hi to Ercie for me and take care Eddie.

Ercie says hi! and that your trip sounds like a lot of fun. We are both working today at my eddiehillsfuncycles.com dealership- we still work three days a week, even though I'm eighty now. But we are both very grateful to be healthy enough to still race and work!
