Well, IMO it looks better than the Ford GT, but can it perform as well as the Ford GT?
Are there any specs on this car?

I'm sure that won't replace the GT it will definitely be it's own car like the Cobra if it ever sees production.

i didn't post the pics cause it took me fover to copy and paste it to the other site. i just posted it here so that you guys could have a link to it before i put up the the pics. it would of taken me like 5 minutes to put up the tags on the url and that could be enough time for someone to look at the forum and leave, and have to wait till tomarrow to see the pics. :cry:
also, i am 99% sure that this is the replacement for the ford gt. they will have a short run, so when the last one comes off the line, its price will appreciate like crazy

It looks pretty cool. Now if they lost those stupid head lights, they might have something.

why would Ford replace their GT racer with a Shelby car technically they aren't the same company and if this is a homage to the Daytona it would be a totally different car than the GT/GT40 is/was they were 2 different cars that were available at about the same period in Automotive history. Anyways you don't replace something like the Ford GT they just end it's run and leave it at that. They may introduce a new car but they won't replace the GT with anything. This may be a new car from Shelby but it won't be a replacement. Especially since as soon as the projected GT run is complete SVT will refocus their efforts on the SVT Cobra and Lightning and the SVT Focus is still kind of in the air(who knows). So if the car was to be built they would have to find another place to produce it unless Shelby built them at his factory in Las Vegas by hand since they don't have assembly lines there, so if they produce this car the question is where would they build it? that's the thing with the new Shelby Cobra aswell where would they build it, there isn't really anywhere to build another car like the GT. They really can't afford to close down the SVT factory for another limited edition high performance car because the Cobra and Lightning guys will start getting fed up, I'm sure the wait already is going to be enough of a strain on sales since you will have to wait another year after the Mustang comes out and even longer for the Lightning to see another SVT car.
