Only problem, no multi-cam engine... :cry:
Will they do it this time? C&D makes a good case for
why it will finally happen!

Haven't received my issue yet. Looking forward to the write up but man does that pic ever look like a C7 that's had a few too many Twinkies !

Ah...We could only hope, Doug. Something along this line is what I was so hoping the C7 was going to be. I was SOOOooo disappointed. A Mid-engine, 12-cylinder (I'd accept a V-8) 32V 4-cam, VVT, direct injected, 9000 rpm 7.0L screamer...

Well, I can dream, can't I? [Sigh] Good chance that GTs and sports cars in the near future are going to have electric motor assist on all fours, and then ALL electric at some point. Gee... I can hardly wait to see that come about....

I agree. I think the Ford GT is going to be the last true exotic car ($150k+) made by one of the big 3 that this country will produce for a while. I'm talking about something purpose built and very limited numbers. Not a 700hp rental car for $80,000. They are more about making money now than making history. More passionate about their stock price then their legacy. The Viper comes close but they can't figure out how to make it relevant or how to sell it.

Would love to see Zora's dream become a reality one day.

Next to the 63 SWC, the GT-40 has stood the passing of time mightily!

Would give up the ZR for a GT-40. You can tell this isn't the mid-engine Vette.
It has ROUND TAILLIGHTS. Not happening.
