    I think the GTD is amazing, but completely unobtainable for the vast majority of Mustang fans. Its kinda bitter sweet.

      Remember the LFA. Now it’s worth over quadruple its original cost. Hopefully ford makes money on these cars. I don’t think there’s any wrecked LFA out there but we know what mustang week is like leaving car shows.

    Definitely get it, understanding the process, you have a great chance of getting it since you actually use the vehicles and you’ve made a name on RUclips.

    I'm with you all the way, still seems they could have designed it lighter.

      After looking at the suspension components, this is all handbuilt for racing. Old nascar rule of having to make x number of cars so they could qualify. Seems like they have went all out to allow non-factory race teams to buy these cars.

    Driveshaft and trans axle shafts are carbontanium, Developed by koenigsig. It's carbon fiber with titanium fused together

      I don't think the GTD is using that combination of materials. Ford and Multimatic never use the term carbotanium in describing their driveshaft - strictly carbon fiber. I'll need to do some more checking. Also, they don't specifically mention the trans axles as being carbon fiber.
