Sorry guys but I just called and was assured that the red ones are definitely the quickest. Sorry for the let down.. But enjoy the car anyway :frown :willy


Red w/stripes :banana



Bman33, there is a bunch of "bliss" around here.
These fine gentlemen obviously are not aware that a "RED" GT40 driven by Mr Dan Gurney holds the track record at Le Mans for all GT40's, thus making Red with stripes the fastest of the GT's.

Midnight Blue is fastest!

No way.
Ford tested all the color combinations and determined conclusively that Midnight Blue with White stripes is the fastest color combination.

WTF! Are you guys NUTS?! Just because someone told me that the heritage felt faster everybody thinks the guys at Maroone are joyriding around in our cars?! $HIT! As far as the people at the dealership, I've never seen anybody take car of our cars like the guys at maroone, its almost like they're afraid the cars might bite them.

Mod guy, stop worrying about techs driving the cars and worry about giving my service advisor a raise and promotion for the way he takes care of me!

Lol yea I wish we could get a promotion or a raise here but how it works we are stuck where we are. And yes its honestly like if we are afraid the cars will bite us if we get in em. Now if you take one of us for a ride then hey its on you to drive it how ever you feel like it and well just sit back and enjoy. But Mike and all the other GT guys you guys know we take care of your cars and we def dont take em out and beat on them. We just make sure you guys are taken care of for spending 160K+ on these cars. Its the least we can do for you.

In order to have a really fast car you need to save weight... that is why I did not order the center stripe. That is my story and I am sticking with it. Got to go, the light is on at Krispy Kreme :biggrin

OH Crap, never thought of weight. Maybe I should have the number 1 instead of 5, less vinyl. :lol

I think I remember reading that baby blue paint is lighter than all the others, so that makes up for the extra vinyl right? :biggrin

Hey Mod, I tried to take people for a ride, but everyone was afraid to go, I had to take my wife on the maiden drive.

Lol you didnt ask me to go on a ride, Id be glad to go for a spin on a GT with any of you good folk. My thing is that I usually do the driving but hey this isnt a cobra or a saleen so its a lil diff to ask to drive lol. I have all my friends that come here basically give me keys to the car or drop them off at my house and I bring it to work, but im usually stuck with the cars for a few days cause they want me to just drive it and make sure everything is ok on them. Its fine by my but its a lil diff on a GT though. Something about that $150k+ price tag on it just scares me a bit.
