Friend of mine in the local Focus ST owner's club has an acquaintance with some choice vehicles. Figured I'd share. That's an amazing parking job. *sarcasm* Hahaha. Honestly man, that was my first reaction too. But, if you knew the area he is parking in like I do, you really couldn't blame him. People have no respect for other's vehicles because everyone drives sh&tboxes, so I honestly don't blame him.

If I owned a car like that I would hire security guards to watch it... after I parked like a douche bag.

And no one cares because Honda debuted this five years ago.

It's the 3.5 TT V6 from their Daytona prototype. I was a little disappointed initially as I wanted the 5.2 to get dropped in with two turbos, but it supposedly should be a straight up racing engine, which is very exciting. You watch. Tuners will get a hold of it and be pumping out 900-1000 hp reliably (!) in no time.

Ford stole the show. The new GT350R is going to stomp on the M4 and will finally take the fight to the Z/28.

It looks pretty much the same lol. GM made this mistake with the Camaro and Honda did it here. Don't debut a concept and promise a production model and not deliver for 4 years. The Ford GT is debuting as a production car NEXT YEAR and they are racing it THIS YEAR. That is absolutely incredible.

It'll be interesting to see how the GT stacks up against the competition. They're talking about a price point that puts it on par with Ferrari and Lamborghini.

I was thinking $150,000 or so. The GT is amazing, but it doesn't have the heritage or prestige of Ferrari. Lambo is a flashy company for extroverts, which. ford product will never appeal to. The real question is how much the GT weighs. 600bhp is nothing crazy anymore.

I agree; Ford doesn't have the pedigree or clientele of either, but that may not stop them from charging those prices. It shouldn't weigh much with carbon fiber comprising such a large portion of the frame and chassis. I'm equally interested in seeing how the active aerodynamics work. You can only make a car so light before you have to start augmenting the weight in some form or fashion to retain friction for cornering.
