    I find the placement of the of the tachometer and speedometer to be interesting. This car places the tachometer in front center of the dash where it can be very easily seen. And the speedometer is placed all the way to the right of the driver to where it takes some effort to read the speedometer. I guess that when driving this car the driver is not too concerned about how fast he is going.

    Ted, you probably had a hard time sleeping the night before this just from the excitement. Maybe you can get it a second time and take it to a race track!
    I saw one of these “snap” and spin in circles several times at Lime Rock, it’s a good thing no other cars were near it. Still, driving it must be a truly epic experience. Too bad Ford didn’t just keep making these in limited numbers, like a beautiful old Miura, it’s a shame to just see them die off until someday they’re just gone forever.
    There are several kit car manufacturers that make a Ford GT, and some of them are really impressive.

    Regarding the suspension being "soft" for a race car, you have to remember that this was 2006. Even the most hard core production cars are soft by today's standards. Track day specials and cars that are track first, street second didn't really become a thing until about 10 years ago, and really only in the last 5 years or so were they done by most MFGs.
