the orange with blue stripes sounds kinda like an ugly choice of colors

I was lucky enough to be able to sit in one back when I was trying to put in my order for my 05. The saleman came in smiling while I was looking at some brochures and told me he had a real treat for me. He pointed outside and I saw them unloading a yellow Ford GT with black stripes from an enclosed tractor trailer. They pulled it around to the service area, and proceeded to shut the whole shop down. I was talkin to the guy that was coming to take delivery of it (to another dealership) and he let me have a seat in the passenger side while he was checkin out the driver's side view.

No matter what you think of the GT's, sitting in one just seems to make you all giddy for some strange reason.[&:] Maybe its cuz you glance over your shoulder and see the motor right there. They are alot smaller than I imagined from seeing them in photos though.

Isn't it light blue with orange graphics(the Gulf team colors). Here in SoCal I've seen more Ford GTs than GT500s(although I saw a dark blue with white stripes GT500 this morning, I dunno, but the GT500 is an awesome looking car IMO but the GT is altogether something else!). BTW I'm sure the race would've gotten really ugly above 100mph.....Mustangs aren't very aero friendly.
