Kinda makes me want to be a Ford Dealer again just to see Raj at the New Car shows every year! The Dealers will get behind Raj big time as I've already heard from many of my friends and they are very excited. He will be a great leader in that position. I'm pumped and very appreciative to soon to be a New GT owner as well as an Ambassador for Ford Motor Company moving forward in my life.

Great choice!


Hopefully this will mean a lot of attention given to the NGT project over the next few years by Ford

Raj took a huge gamble with the new GT. I believe his career and name in the industry was riding on its success. It takes a set of big brass ones, determination, and ability to build a great team to achieve what he did.

I was extremely excited for him while celebrating the win at Le Mans. And knew after that he would have a rocket strapped to his back no matter where he went....I sure am glad its still with Ford. I anticipate him to keep going.

Congrats Raj. Keep kicking ass and taking names! :thumbsup
