So I was at Harris Teeter yesterday(grocery store) and on my way out I saw a Ford GT parked at the top of the parking lot, so i parked next to it, and started taking some pictures. About five minutes later, the owner came out. He let me check out the engine, which was amazing. Then i sat in the drivers seat, he handed me the keys, and let me rev it up. I have never herd something that loud before. He also owns 2 Ferrari's, a Porsche 911 Turbo, and a few other cars. He was at VIR last weekend with his daughter racing his F430.

 

I seen it at Limerock.

but Ford GT is just a bunch of parts from various source being snapped together by Ford. nothing really that original about it.

 

Grocery shopping with a Ford GT.
Lucky mann

 

That's some grocery shopper.

 

Lucky you.

 

Lucky him (I mean the owner).

 

nice catch. i hope he didn't get any shopping cart dings on his $100K+ car... lol

 

Wow, That is one hot car. Nice pics.

 

really,

it is a bit more than that.. you should get out more!

beers

 

Where does one put groceries in that thing?

BTW, nice looking 8, what kind of wax/polish do you use?

 

gas mileage must be a bitch for the owner. then again, he's rich enough to get one.

 

holy crap, its his grocery getter... what a badass.

did anyone else notice the rotary rims?

and about the Ford GT MPG: MPG (city) 12 MPG (highway) 19 MPG (combined) 14

^ so yeah, not much more then an 8.

 

I was underwhelmed with the rims on that car.

 

yet,

the fact that the owner has a porshe crest on if missed..

beers

 

i was good til i saw the engine bay.. then i pooped myself.. friggin awesome..

 

pfffffffftttttt.....and that engine oil dipstick is just too conveniently placed.

I prefer the placement of the RX8 dipstick simply because I enjoy sticking my hand into a tight space full of scalding hot hoses and parts.

 

so true...

 

Personally I've never been partial to a Ford GT. I've seen a few in person but it never did anything for me. I would choose a Dodge Viper or the Corvette ZR1 over the Ford GT

 

Did this happen to be at the Harris Teeter off 84?
I've seen both those cars there before

 

FANBOI... hahah

 

Why are you checking the oil after the car has been on and the engine is hot anyway??? You check it when the car is off and when the engine is cool. Simple car mechanics 101.

To the OP, nice pics, the RX-8 looks like a truck in height ,compared the Ford GT.

 

Not in my top ten .

2cents.........

 

Is his daughter cute/single?

 

Jeremy Clarkson LOVES those things!! (for those of you who don't know that story, SEARCH...hilarious)

Ford GT is one badass car.

Someone tell that guy to buy himself a Range Rover for a grocery getter. I can't even imagine what would happen if he tried to make a Costco Run in that thing...

 

I like the GT...don't think I'd get it if I had the cash, but I'd give it a good look.

Saw one last Summer at Road America. Guy was a horrible driver, but still walked around with an ego like he ran the place...
