UUUUhhhhhhh, cobraownr, where have you been???:confused
A member here on the Forum from July 2007 and amassed 88 posts. You need to spend a little more time here if you have a real interest in following either the 2005-2006 or the new 2016 Ford GT.
Dave states the obvious in his above post. Raj Nair gave us owners at the Ford Product Development Center how Ford intended to "outreach" to current FGT owners. Go to Youtube and look up his presentation to us owners at the rally. This way you will know the details exactly as they were presented.

Cobraownr - there are threads on how the application was told to us first. It was at the Rally in Detroit. The guidelines on how to apply have not been released to the public yet. Everyone is eligible to apply but there are criteria that can improve you chances on being chosen. Read those threads.
Also, I read the thread on the GT40s.com forum. There is a lot of jealousy & animosity from many of the posters against us. They refer to us as the "05/06 blowhards". They feel current owners of the original 1960s GT40s should get priority & some posters even feel accurate GT40 replica owners should have priority over the "blowhards". "Some of our cars are closer to the originals than their 05/06s." It's great reading. They are also mad that the "blowhards" refer to their replicas as kit cars. I've seen some very cool replicas & I've seen some that deserve the moniker kit car. However, just like us "blowhards" they can also apply to get a 2017-21 GT. Good luck to all

Just a hunch, but is the bitter guy referring to us as "blowhards" our own/former Luke Warmwater, aka Mikey?

maybe Mike D should re-read your signature Ed "Holding a grudge is letting someone live rent-free in your head."

Yes.
And the site is a joke. You have to use your "Real Name" but that just means a screen name like most of use here won't work. I was tempted to sign up as Fred Ziffel to see if they cared.

Another hunch: Luke or Mike or whatever his name is won't survive the application process for a NGT.

based on that rule "Mr. Ziffel", I'll guess for the win and say Larry L over there is also known here as "empty pockets"

Special Ed, are you still going to buy one, or let me have your slot? I know you how you dislike those fake plastic engine covers. That's something they would do on a Vette.

Lastly, the engine now sports a plastic cover that proudly reads "EcoBoost."

Yes, it's true I am not an engine cover fan. I've mentioned in another thread that the packaging constraints would not make the engine bay a thing of esthetic pleasure but would be an area of practicality. So, in this case a cover is needed.
I am an EcoBoost fan. Both Dr Frank & I will be getting EcoBoost tatoos at Daytona.

Give the address Frank. If I get bored at the race, I'll pick up a 6-pack of Dixie and come watch.
