i think they hired Rhys Millen to drive it. definitely a badass car in every way.

Yeah the car is badass without a doubt. It was amusing to hear non car enthusiasts I was watching the game with say "Hey man, look at it slide all over the place, it doesn't handle very well" and so on.

Ah what a beauty. Now if only they'd come back to Le Mans.

yeah it was def. the coolest commercial during the game. I have to give Ford a lot of credit for this new one.

haha! i just snorted my root beer when i read that!

the best part of the commercial is the fine print that says "clearly a professional driver on a closed course"....i just though it was ammusing that they felt they had to specify that

I made a few alcohol induced comments about their intelligence, or complete lack thereof.

Definitely brings some of the coolness back to Ford. Are they going to sell them here anytime soon?
- Chris - 02-03-2004
yeah they are either on sale now or very soon (anyone know the exact date?) There will only be about 1000 made from an article I read.

sadly, this MAY beat out the Fiero for fastest american mid-engine production car. Reining king for 2 decades.
:wink:Speaking of which, anyone see the most recent Grassroots Motorsports? Fieros RULE. 8) A guy on the Fiero list was trying to get them to do that article for about a year or so now, gathering pics and stories from fellow Fiero list enthusiasts. Unfortunatly, mine wasn't quite pretty enough.

I made all 20 people we were watching the game with shut up when that add came on, then I called them all bitches with no respect.

I have a "making of" DVD for that commecial. Two great quotes:
Driver:"I was amazined, I was doing 140 on the straight and just getting into 4th gear"
Helicoptor Pilot:"I've filmed a lot of cars in a lot of commectials, and until the GT could keep up with all of them"

Damn saw the commercial last night.... CREAM!
