Update on my bro's civic...

[MarkM]

It is still a concept car, the first link says it as a disclaimer for all the pics contained on the site and the second link says car isn't going to be made until next year but sold in 2005. The car shown in this thread is never going to be sold it was never intended to be. Think of some of motor shows with concept cars that never make it to the showroom...this has been "said" that it will be made...what 2 or 3 cars. Even the promotional pics for the so called 2004 made to be sold 2005 have a different light cluster. The Dodge or was it a Chrysler street rod everyone thought this was a joke concept car but it went straight into production as it appeared at the shows.

I've read an a few articles about the new "GT-40" and from what I understand, it is going to be a production model car. Like you can go to the ford dealership and buy one. Although these will be 70,000+++++ dollar cars so I doubt you will see them at many dealerships.

I'm going to go find that article, I think it was in a popular science a while ago (April I think)

I think they're holding it's intro off until the economy rebounds a little.

To the last two or three posts regarding the GT-40, until it is made it is STILL A CONCEPT CAR...that is an IDEA, NOT REAL. Wether or not Ford made 3-4 cars that have the "look" of the original GT-40 until it becomes a production car it cannot be counted as being real. Perhaps you have not heard of the RS200, Ford built a handful of the cars to enter and win the World Ralleye Championship and although they were allowed in the mid season to use the vehicle as a concept/design idea, to have it allowed as a legitimate machine they had to produce it and sell a given amount to the public...the number needed to make this a legitimate production car was 200...hence the model designation RS200 (RS stands for Ralleye Sport) There are now a heck of a less than 200 still in existance as they crashed quite a few in the races and testing. The ralley authoritys then moved the goal posts and the following season changed the rules for the power to wieght ratio as the RS200 totally destroyed the competition...the same fate happened to the Metro 6R4 and Audi Quattro plus spectator deaths also meant the Group B cars had to go. So to recap until the NEW GT-40 is produced and sold it is an not real...look at the pics I uploaded it has more in common with the Kit Car than the real models.
