For those that "get it"; GTSR/ACR STREET - DRIVING!

[Jeff Lemke]

Reminds me of the discussions almost 10 years ago. I got so fired up about it I had to do something. Passion leads the way on projects like this. You never know what somebody will do.

Not to refer to my F-150 Raptor again, but Ford just takes a stock F-150 frame, changes the body pieces, suspension, running gear, wheels and tires, etc. and produces the F-150 Raptor. It is 7" wider than a stock F-150. They charge about $12K more for the Raptor versus a comparable F-150. Tell me again why SRT cannot (or should not) do this? They could start off with a base model Viper and instead of spending all the option money on the GTS interior, spend the money on a wider car and the pieces necessary to do so. If that did not cover the costs, there could be an additional ACR option cost like there was on previous ACR's. Most who own ACR's want the lightest car possible, so they do not want all those interior improvements anyway. I don't think Ford has to get the Raptor Federally approved thru special crash tests, etc. since the cab area and frame is the same as a normal F-150. SRT could to the same with a wider Viper.

Even if they break even it's worth it. SRT is it's own brand now. What better way to promote it than a wicked looking exotic that has super car looks and proportions. The GTS helps but it's not a game changer.

If you dont "get it", I cant help you. All for fun, because lets face it... SRT will never build this car.

That is why they didn't need bailout. SRT should pull a page from their book.

Probably the same person who keeps rating these Gen V ACR threads a 1.

Hell yeah it does! It looks like a supercar and not just another sports car.
