I'm guessing it was in inside job. Probably an ex-employee.

why would a place housing a gt, navigator's and 50 cent's mustang NOT have an alarm system? sounds like insurance fraud to me

Wow, that really sucks for the dealer but you really can't blame the robbers. Who would be stupid enough to be selling cars that expensive and not spend some money on an alarm system?

The GT is nicknamed the "Ferrari Killer."
No, the original GT (GT40) was.

According to Waterford, in the 1960s the Ford Motor Company tried to buy Ferrari but was rebuffed. Instead it built the GT.
GT40 again. The GT has nothing in common with the 40 apart from looks.

The car's specifications include a zero to 60 acceleration time of three seconds.
Cough .. where did that .8 of a second suddenly go?

Only 500 of the models are manufactured each year.
No, only 500 are produced fullstop.

Whoever wrote this article should have a prize in the field of research ... give him a holiday to Mt Etna or ontop of a very large spike or something.

What kind of moron steals a $150,000 car and crashes it!
FYI, the new GT was tested over and over again on track by Ford engineers racing a 575m. They broke the ferrari's suspension or something, and the GT at the time only had 400bhp. So it still deserves the nickname "Ferrari Killer".

BTW, the 0-60 of a Ford GT is 3.3-3.6 seconds depending on who you talk to.

But it wasn't nicknamed that. Its obvious they have got the original mixed up with the "new" one.[/QUOTE]

Actually if you saw the same show i did... it was "compared" in a race track with a Ferrari 360 and they broke the Ferrari's clutch... :rolleyes:

I love the GT, would have it instead of any current Ferrari!

Actually this was a Ford test a family member of mine attended. Both cars were on track racing, the prototype 400bhp GT against a 575m, and 575m was having a slight bit of trouble keeping pace.
I think what your talking about was on the Discovery channel right? If so yes I saw it.

It's 4 seconds if you talk to me. :D I don't like it, I only like the original GT40.

i've been on locust street :o why couldnt they have done it when i was there?
