Pretty sweet episode. Be sure to check out Episode # 1. As an American it's very inspiring regardless of what brand you drive.

Nice! We wanted one, went to the biggest Ford dealer here in the valley and they wouldn't even take a deposit :( Said the ones they were getting were already spoken for. Oh well, bought a Roush Mustang. Not as fast, but not as expensive either. I need to finish my GS anyway :p

How do you like the Roush car? I am looking for a Roush or Saleen.

[Craig]

I like it :) The Saleen is a nice car as well.

Ford Power! You gotta love it...they have always been doing great things and continue to get better. The Shelby GT500 (Cobra) is one bad ass mofo, once the dealer mark ups go away, they are going to be VERY affordable and a huge bang for the buck. They are going to make a bunch of them too, so it is not a limited production run. Expect to see them as much as you would see older Cobras (95-04).

I thinkl I just saw one between Hollywood florida and orlando driving down the highway. Black with gold stripes and it was awesome.

If it was black and gold, it might have been one of the new Hertz GT350's. Also a nice car!

yup, black with gold is definately a Hertz edition.

Hard to believe you could actually rent one of these back then, my God an authentic "Hertz Edition" is almost priceless now. Since they are badged a "350" do they have the samre motor as the "500". Boy, do I wish I had my GT 500/427 side oiler back now. NSF

No, it is a different motor than the new GT500. It is basically a Mustang GT motor with a little more juice.

Something to do with the number of steps between a couple of buildings within the factory?????

It takes way big juice to get a place in line for this first round of highly collectable Mustangs.... Ford says production of 8 to 10k units per year for three years but I dont think that means they will go for sticker... JMHO
