I doubt it, it is a show car though. On another note. Does this not look like a Volvo Ranchero?

Hopefully vehicles like these will make to into Fords US lineup. These are exciting cars that would no doubt garner much needed positive press and bring back Fords performance image. We saw the GTO come stateside you never know. In any case similar if not superior powerplants will be making it to the US soon.

They need to revive the model t name. That's where their high point was.

All the car mag comparisons have said that for the money you save, the Z06 is a much better buy.

Yeah but I would get home a lot faster than the drivers of those cars.

Also, warranty schmarranty. No Ford "technician" would ever touch it. If I had the $150k, I'd take it to a proper mechanic. He's probably have Roush Racing on his shirt somewhere.
