JETSOLVER Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Ottawa Citizen article "Ford does Fast. Which explains why, with jobs and factories and market share falling, Ford brought auto writers from across Canada to a race track here this week to test two competition-inspired street cars that could only be described as rare and rarer -- the $50,000-plus Shelby GT500 and the $185,000 Ford GT. Canada will get 400 copies of the Shelby, and just half that number of GTs. These are hardly the affordable, innovative small sedans and so-called crossovers Ford knows it must have for mass-market survival. But for getting attention and buying time, their halos burn with a xenon intensity. Further evidence of Ford's resolve to wring every mile and mention from these high-profile, low-volume cars was the presence at the remote, rain-blown track of Hau Thai-Tang."

Fastbackman Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Of course it's fast, with the 32-valve V-8 force-fed by a screw-type supercharger for a torque-on-demand range that almost eliminates the need to downshift for corners Anyone note the reference to the screw-type supercharger? WRONG! That went bye-bye a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DVS2XS Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Kaylan, 27x15 = 405 27x17 = 459 Is Canada getting part of the "Share of the Nation" cars? Will Canada get MORE than 400 cars? How many 03/03 Cobras were sold in Canada each year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCobra Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 The only concrete number I ever heard was 288 cars. Now, more cars than expected are at least planned for, for the 2007 model year, so how many does that add to the list??? KingCobra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
