You guys think I'm joking - here is a picture of my father, John, in 1926 (he would have been 20) with his fairly new Ford Model "T" Runabout Roadster. Big Deal - what does that have to do with today??
I learned to drive in a 1955 Ford Customline - So what! - that's what my parents had at the time! If they would have had a Pontiac, I would have learned in that!
None of this has anything to do with the new GT!!
What I think should count is people like Jeff Larson who has taken his GT to every state of the US in all seasons, except Alaska and Hawaii - proudly showing off Ford's superb engineering and manufacturing capabilities to the general public in all small towns of the country! Or a Jay Leno, with a reputation that is respected throughout the automotive world. Or a Dan Gurney, who helped create the legacy of these cars and put the Ford name at the top of the world, and continues to do so! Or a Dave Bannister, who puts together events to showcase both the cars and their owners. Or, a Mark McGowan and Gene Martindale who ensure that these cars are safe for you to drive, and provide valuable feedback to the design engineers. And a GT Joey, who publishes books devoted to our cars, and promotes events around them.
Start doing things that mean something in Ford's eyes, not begging on a forum for Ford officials to read about. Grow up! This thread sounds like a bunch of whiney kids trying to impress Ford with their abilities, desires and selfishness.
I hope and wish that all of you that can afford the new GT will get one - It won't be me, as I know that I don't have the pesos so I don't have to worry about it. But, stop this incessant whining!!!
I know you won't like what I'm saying - but that's what it sounds like to me.
