I wouldn't take anything that's released from anyone other that his family, team, or publicist with anything more than a grain of salt. 'Reports' are typically someone's speculation.

I'm in the town north of Charleston, and it's just raining. The temperatures are just above freezing, so no ice, yet.

It's nothing more than a 'FIRST!'

Yep, you're right! I was looking at a much smaller picture, but when I blew it up, I could see.

The link someone posted had the 1940 coupe reproduction body listed at about $9900, I think. That's about the same price as a Factory Five Racing Stage 1 kit, which includes the chassis and complete suspension.

I will say that there is something to be said about factory authenticity. For some people, it HAS to be a Ford product, not a FFR reproduction. I'm not one of those people, mainly because I wouldn't have the coin to throw around. If I'm ever able to complete a kit car, or a car project like a frame-off restore,…

If this is anything like the Bronco, it doesn't come with a chassis, just the body. Probably no fenders or hood, either. The Factory Five Racing Stage 1 kit costs $9990, but does come with a chassis and significant suspension components. Based on the link that someone posted above, the Ford reproduction 1940 coupe…

People said the same thing about the first generation Ford Fusion, which brought the three-bar grille to Ford, and I loved it from first sight. I don't know. Maybe I like big and imposing.

I actually am! I'm obviously in the minority, but I think that's a damn fine looking face!

I know, reading the comments, that I'm clearly in the minority, on this one, but damn, that's a good looking grille! The lower valence has a bit too much 'Kia' for me, but I like it. Big, bold, brash, and unapologetic for what it is. I'm no fan of masses of chrome, but it just fits, here.

Wow! That's actually a really, really handsome grille! I almost wish they'd reserved that for the new F-150!

Don't call me buddy, guy!

While I'd love to have a set on my Mustang GT, and that FR-S looks nice, these, on a truck, look horrid!

This is the worst thing in the history of ever.

One of those babies just flew over and past my office window. Loud mother, that thing! Not quite as loud as the C-17s at full tilt, but close!

Maybe, maybe not. Some people think weight = safety or weight = reliability. While I love the meaningful 'thunk' of a luxury car's door closing, it's important for me to both hear the quality, as well as notice improved ride and fuel economy.

One way or the other, 150 pounds is a start. The new chassis, suspension setup, and engine choices will make much more of an impact, but you can't say that losing this mass won't help.

I am, and we own a 2012 C300. Less weight means more fun and better fuel economy. I very much wish my wife's C300 was a little lighter, but even so, it's plenty of fun to drive, and it handles very well, despite the additional weight.

You know what assumptions do.

I assume you've never heard of the Viper, or one of the various versions of it, that are designed to be track day monsters, like the GTS, ACR, or ACR-X?
