maybe
ist just the color on the concept version. I hope it lets a Viper have it-------because I'm damn well sick of the Viper glory. Its gonna have a hell of power plant though. 5.4 liter supercharged. Maybe you know this one---I can't seem to find any info anywhere---maybe its still too early. I noticed that the new SVT Lightning----is using a Lysholm blower---and some unsusual 'recharging' intercooler technology----which I was still confused about after reading the press release. Is the Gt40---using an Eaton roots or the Lysholm roots? has it been announced yet? Are they pre-selling ? If so-----how many purchased approxamately. I know the 03 cobras------had about 7,000 presold before they went into production-----thats pretty fricken wicked!

well, as far as i know, there are 3 being made in 2003, and they should go into production of about 1000 a year. and as far as the engine goes... all i know is that Saleen is doing the work on it.

Ford GT
Production numbers are supposed to be something like 700 for 2004 and the same for 2005.
I have one on order. I haven't decided on the color combination yet. I am leaning on the original Gulf colors, light blue and orange.

Production Numbers
As I have heard from inside sources from Ford directly...
only 3 for 2003 to commemmorate the victories in LeMans in the 60s
then around 700 per year. More likely less would be my guess.
