This means there will be two genuine American production hyper-cars in 2017, the C8 Vette and the Ford GT. Best time for cars ever. No comparison.

Looks sorta like a Mclaren, but still sexy as fuck.

I like it a lot but I wish they would have put a twin turbo V8 in it. A V6 GT40 is just wrong.

They are going for ultra crazy light weight I think, if I read it right. The Vette is going to have a TT V8 for the big dog, and probably quite a bit more powerful, but also some TTV6.

Yes please!

They were going for best power-to-weight ratio but I agree with Ron... TT V8 (TT the V8 from the GT350!)

That is dead sexy in that paint.
As for V8TT, 'Murika!

If Ford keeps it around for more than a year I'd bet it gets a v8

Given emissions and fuel requirements, I doubt they could pull it off, but a >600HP NA V8 would da shit.

They won't make emissions with a 600hp NA V8 but they could with a twin turbo one.

Ecoboost V8 with variable cylinder selection. Winning.

It would match the Mach.

You guys think the previous gen GTs are gonna drop in price a lot?

Absolutely not, the older gen GT's are going for triple original msrp.

I know that, but with the new ones coming out do you think their value will take a hit?

No way. It will keep its value if not continue to go up.

They're pretty small unit run niche car in apparent high demand. I certainly wouldn't expect anything like a dive.

Wow. I knew it was going to be up there, I would have gone for as high as $250k I suppose, something at least theoretically approachable by the upper upper middle class, but that's rich dude only.
If the upcoming mid engine twin turbo V8 C8 Vette can come in for anything like I've read, that is well under $200k, it will be a radically better value overall. But this area really isn't about "value", more about exclusivity and fancy shit.

Yep, this is a car for showing off the length of your bank penis.
