I guess being a current GT owner and having a race-winning 1000hp Cammer is not enough!  :o ::)

Well that is actually good news for the rest of us... meaning... you will likely have more time and money to further the FE Power product line.  8)

You are absolutely right about that, in fact that was one of my main worries if I'd been selected.  I'd have had to put some product plans on hold for a while.  Might have been worth it though, sure is a cool car...

I had one approved through my contacts in Ford. However, the bank and my insurance company were not thrilled with the picture I sent them of the garage where the GT was to be kept, so they backed out of the deal. Dicks.

Not a chance. Here's something in your actual real price range.   http://www.ebay.com/itm/361614151856

Hey Jay, maybe that letter was sent to you by mistake. It was actually meant to go to Leno. Better check on that.

I always feel sorry for someone who wants to spend over 400k on an ill-sounding six-banger automatic car that can't be driven because it's too rare. Boo hoo. Lots of 170 c.i. Cruiso-matic Falcons around here if you want to fit into a demographic.

Izzat enough pity? I can pile it on much higher if you want.

Damn, Jay, you lost out to Captain Sparklez! How demeaning.

However, you can get back at Ford, maybe.
