This car was on a flight out of LAX yesterday mornging. I'm told it's on it's way to Detroit

"Ford spent $5 million developing this car, and another $2 million just building this particular one. This is the first and only one of this type in existance, and was completed yesterday afternoon in California.

In January of 2004 it was sketched out on paper. In February a full size mockup was molded in clay. Now, a year later, the real thing is on it's way to the Detroit Auto Show. This car wasn't a mockup or a shell. The sculptor, designer and escort for the car is hoping it will take best of show this year. And Kitty Hawk delivered it!

This is the 2007 Ford Shelby GR1 concept car. If Ford decides to put it into production, potential buyers can expect to pay around $200,000 for it. The entire exterior of the car is polished aluminum, and it has liquid cooled LED headlights.

If only my camera could capture the sound of that V-10...."

That's a pretty sweet ass car, but would be highly unsafe for other drivers on the road. :shock:

Damn. That's wicked. :shock:

Chrome paint job is too much for it though.

John--That's not paint, it's polished.
That is sick. Must have taken a hell of alot of time to polish. Man GM needs to get off their A$$E$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Garry · **Posted:** Sun Jan 30, 2005 7:45 pm

Anybody else despise the left to right and up down scroll limitations on this board?

JackZ28 · **Posted:** Wed Feb 02, 2005 6:59 pm

Yes, highly! :shock:

I already told Garry, but he thinks it's a good idea.

CandyMan · **Posted:** Wed Feb 02, 2005 7:35 pm

I think that's a bad idea too. I mean the ppl with such a small screen have to scroll anyways but with this limitation ALL the ppl have to scroll!

@Garry
there is an addon for phpbb that allows you to attach files that are automatically made smaller and if you click on them you can see the full size.

TurboManiacal · **Posted:** Fri Feb 04, 2005 3:52 am

Did Garry change it because of this post?!?

:shock:

JackZ28 · **Posted:** Fri Feb 04, 2005 9:09 am
