Need help with the Facts on our GTs

[Scooter]

Last night I went to a "Cruse Night"....there were hundreds of people there, they were flocking around my GT I almost felt famous! It would have been helpful to have some sort of reading material for everyone to read so I'm thinking of a one page plaque with 10 or 15 bullet points describing the Ford GT.
Is there any good material already noted here on the forum so I can just copy and paste or could you guys help me out on this post.
Here are a few thoughts I can start with:

This is a:
Ford GT fasted production car ever built...(is this correct?)
Was a refined remake of the 1969 Ford GT40 that won the Lemons
Built in 2005 and 2006
Total of 4000 made
Aluminum frame and body
550 HP ....
6 speed ..trans
Top speed with governer?


Thanks Guys!!

I thought the Ford GT was the fastest American production vehicle made to date.

'Depends on your definition of "production vehicle". The SSC Ultimate Aero is far faster "stock".

Top speed with governor is 205mph
It was built to celebrate Fords 100th anniversary and was based on the 1966 GT40 which took 1st, 2nd and 3rd at LeMans that year.
It then went on to place first in 1967, 1968, & 1969 if I recall correctly.

:lol Nice spelling Scooter...the wife was rushing me to leave while I was typing this one.
Would you believe I couldn't picture the correct spelling of Le mans in my head so I quickly googled 24 hr Lemon and found that there actually was a "24 hr Lemon race" somewhere in this world, I thought it didn't sound correct

4038 built
Not the fastest car ever produced
Top speed was tested at 211 mph
Never won any "fruit" race (lemons). It did win the 24 hours of Le mans though.

The LEMONS race is my next adventure! If you haven't checked one out please do. Hours of seat time in a beater and racing door to door. Where else can you get that experience.

These were from the "24 Hours of Lemons" at Thunderhill in November, 2009 -

The last picture was for our car - "Team Hurling Moss" - a 1972 BMW 2002. We won our class!!

I have a business size card made that is sort of like a baseball card about the GT. I have photos of my GT & text that explains what the GT is plus it's history. I gave them to all attendees of Rally VII in NOLA. I keep them in my car & pass them out to anyone interested. Kids love them too.
