Keith,
The new "GT"s are spectacular. The price listed there is cheap compared to the ones down here. One dealership has sold 4 -6 of them already and each one has gone over the $250K price. I have already bought a couple of them. Of course they are in 1:64th to 1:18th scale.  I can afford those.  Dave & Terri ------------------

My cousin is the service manager in one of the Larry Miller auto dealers in Utah. Because of the amount of Ford dealerships this guy owns he was able to secure an allotment for 5 of the new GTs. He is keeping all 5 of them. They were sitting in my cousin's service department while they received their final dealer prep after shipping. He was very glad to get them gone because of all the people they gathered. I made him very nervous. It didn't help that when one of the employees was backing it out of the shop another employee ran in to it. i guess the damage was several thousand dollars. (Just quadruple any estimate due to the fact it is a GT).
This Larry Miller guy thinks just like I do. He is even building his own race track to be open next year. I plan on going there in July of 06 for my 48th birthday. I was really happy to see a race park of this size within driving distance of Nampa Idaho. (For more info click on the following link) http://www.millermotorsportspark.com/
