Exactly, GTD ALL DAY and twice on Sunday.

 

As much as I love code red... the GTD has more to offer.. not to mention the resale value if if follows anything closely to the Ford GT

 

GTD-Street legal vs Code Red-off road use only (according to the disclaimer)
My vote is for GTD. I just really like the look of it
Still crossing my fingers that Rick gets one

 

My bet is these are gonna be trading hands at over a million bucks, just like the GT. I can’t even afford the tires on either, so I’ll just throw some performance parts at mine and watch the crazy prices on BAT.

 

It's unfortunate the GTD will end up being museum pieces because of the potential appreciation of the resale value. But that's the direction these type of halo cars have taken.

 

 

Let's hope the car purchased by the actual end user has better quality control

 

GTD over and over again

looking for about $350k if anyone has some spare change lol

 

Quality is job one……maybe.

 

I'm honestly torn here, I think the GTD is built for just all out track killing and I 100% like that. The Code Red is however extremely limited being only 30 will be made. My problem would be I'm driving the damn thing for 300K and not letting it sit collecting dust for a future payday. That being the case I think I would eventually pick the GTD because I see the Code Red as a piece of art and I would have a hard time beating the hell out of it on the track.

 

so i'll chime in (i guess). i think both are cool cars. i get it, they have a "bling bling wow" factor to them. but they just seem over the top, trying too hard, especially the wide body stuff. they look like they belong in some video game, not reality. i actually think the S550 GT500 is almost perfect. not ultra wide and gaudy, but still very aggressive. and then the $300k price which is a bare minimum. gonna cost more like $400k after all the options and TTL, etc. i know both will sell out like taylor swift concerts. but like taylor swift concerts, i have no interest...let alone the money LOL.

 

Well said…

 

Not even a hard decision.

 

There are pills for that.

 

Two totally different cars. Code Red is a drag strip monster, GTD is a road/track/twisties monster.

 

Shelby did the photo shoot at the drag strip, but they’re setup to do track as well. Very different monster in that one is road legal and the other is not because it is run by Motec computer.

 

The article I read from Road &Track says the GTD puts out 800hp and 730lb-ft .... I know where they got the 40+ hp. What did they do to pick up over 100 lb-ft of torque? Cuz id like that please

 

I believe our Cars are slightly underrated to begin with I would say we are closer to 785/790 to begin with, maybe closer to 635 lb of torque.

But that being said Arron, I am with you, I'd like that extra 100lbft or torque too 🙏🙏🙏

 

GTD was shown at Monterey Historics 2023 on Saturday at the designated Ford garage. Looks impressive in person than online pictures.

 

Where's the vote for neither?

 

For 300K, I would buy 1 Z/06 Corvette and 1 Porsche.

 

Not with today’s ADMs 🤣

 

Wish me luck, at least going to try

 

I have not got used to the squinty headlights on the S650. The front fender vents look horrible to me. But if Ford would take my money I’d get one in a heartbeat.
Now to convince my wife that this is a better investment than the stock market and then cash in the 401k. 😉

 

If I had to make a wager I’d say that Ford will have a similar “2-year no-sell” agreement with those who get to buy one of these similar to what they did with the GT. This will drive prices up on them and the first person to put one up for sell in 2027 will probably make a very significant ROI.

 

What I noticed was the lack of a trunk due to the 8 speed DCT transaxle, active rear suspension with height control and almost 4" of track wider than a standard Mustang GT! Wow. I want to get on the sign-up sheet.

What? No trunk space forget it I'm out, if I can't haul my tools around I'm out!

 

GTD 100%

 

GTD 10 times outta 10.

 

GTD will be this decades GT, but way more over the top.

 

i've noticed i am always in the minority in every single poll...

i need a hug.

GTD.

As much as I love Ben and Jeremy at Fathouse as they've been friends since my 20's, one could argue that you could replicate 95% of that build on your own separate from the Code Red program.

There is no way you're replicating the engineering or design of the GTD for anywhere close to it's $300K price tag. Ford will 100% lose money on every one of those they build.

I’m a diehard Shelby guy and I couldn’t agree more. I picked the GTD because it’s going to be a masterpiece of race pedigree and engineering. I can’t wait to drive one.

 

Well, if someone is gonna give me 300K to just throw around, might as well get the GTD ... I might get a better parking spot at Shelbyfest that way. 🤔

 

you'd be special

 

I think most owners of this GTD are not going to be paying 300K but after options I'm guessing it's more like 350k plus ttl. getting awfully close to the 400k mark or even a lot more if there's markup, and it makes me wonder what other cars are in that price range that will outperform it.

that said I will confess the GTD is growing on me as I'm seeing some images of it online.
