Cesar, I believe you may be referring to the New Ford GT. The GT 40 is a mid 60's creation for Ford in their attempt to beat Ferrari after Henry the Deuce's offer to buy Ferrari was turned down by Enzio. The Ford GT will be for sale later this year. Sticker will be $139500. I don't think you'll actually be able to get one for that price. About 4500 will be built over the next 3 years. The January issue of Car & Driver did a comparison with the GT, a current Ferrari (@$200K) @ a $100K Porsche. The GT pretty much out performed them all. Only fell short in engine sound (ever hear a Ferrari at full chat?) I reviewed three Ford GTs at the factory yesterday and only wish I had the money @ connections to get one. I guess I'll settle for a Boxster. Kenneth Waller ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cesar Matamoros II" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
