i've heard for quite a while that ford was buying out ferrari. then after talks, ferarri refused to sell. after this ford made the ford gt to compete with the ferarri enzo, named after the owner of ferarri. is ford going to buy ferarri or just compete and beat them?

Wasnt that the case with the ORIGINAL GT40?
Way back when?

Not sure at all...

That would be udderly stupid if Ferrari let Ford buy them out. The reason the Ferrari is what it is because its hand built and production is very minimum. I personally believe Ford would screw it all up.

yeah... ford should stay away from ferrari

You are 100% correct. However, you are 42 years too late. Ford was all set to buy Ferrari, and at the last minute Enzo pulled out of the deal. Henry Ford was pissed, and ordered his British division to create a car that would "crush those eye tied, toe ragged, scumbag, pony-assed heaps of junk." Less than a year later, in 1962, the GT40 competed in and owned everyone in the LeMans races.

So there's a minor history lesson [sm=smiley36.gif]

and sorry for the minor case of post-whoring

yea but isn't that why ford built the "new" ford gt? because they tried the deal again? just something i heard.

I love the new Ford GT, but it was not built for, and does not, compete with the enzo.

The ezno owns it in every right. However you could have 4 GTs and have enough left over for a 04 cobra for the price of one enzo.

BTW, when are we gonna hear about the first "exaust,chip,pully GT?"
