    It's a shame how much leverage the automotive influencers have on the industry. Every one of them I have helped with their Ferrari turned out to be a d bag. It became very apparent to me that they simply wanted the fame and attention. Cars just became a means to get there. Yet the brands still cater to them.

    I hope you get your allocation. You seem like a very passionate Ford owner.

    I never submitted through that website, just responded to the email I got. Unless I’m misreading this:

    I still assume I have no chance, but fingers crossed. If they want the middle aged curmudgeon demo, the marketing folks will roll out the red carpet for me.

    One yes

    the other, he just sold his Ken Miles FGT and made a half million dollar profit which he is using to buy the GTD. He is well connected with inner ford reps and has been all but guaranteed to get one, going thru the application process was a mere formality

    I got the same email - the one that read "You’ve reached the starting line by successfully submitting your application for the most audacious Mustang® vehicle ever— the all-new 2025 Mustang GTD. . . ."

    The car looks and sounds the part of proper race car. I think it’s going to be a hit. Not sure it supplants Porsche’s Ring time, but it won’t matter.

    If they don’t it’ll be a travesty as they’ve all but guaranteed it lol

    They haven't guaranteed it at all. The only thing they've ever said is that it will be sub-7 minutes, which it will.

    Any idea when in July (early or later part) Ford will send the email to those who are selected to receive the GTD?

    This guy claims the GTD is only 25lbs heavier than a GT2 RS. Can that possibly be correct?

    No, it's not remotely correct.

    992 GT3 RS weighs around 3200lbs.

    My CFTP GT500 weighs 3,900lbs

    With all the carbon fiber the GTD could be close to the 992 weight.

    The switch to CF for all the body panels was worth about a 70 lb weight reduction. GTD also has bigger everything (tires, wheels, brakes, cooling, etc), and a lot of stuff a GT500 doesn't have, primarily a heavy hydraulic system.

    A 992 3RS with two fat guys in it and full fluids is still going to weigh a lot less than a GTD.

    the fact that a YouTube video is part of the application seems to indicate they want to go a similar path with social reach owners.

    I wonder what their scoring will look like?

    Obviously having Ford products and rare editions like the GT should be bonus points, but at what point is your collection too big and they don't think you'll get it out enough. If I was them I would like collectors like yourself with the potential video could go viral, but avoid the "pro YouTubers" that have a large following but risk "negative" comments as click-bait and then flipping car. "pro YouTubers" have a pretty high rollover rate to keep fresh content going.

    Would be nice if Ford prioritized people that are racing their cars in the IMSA Mustang Challenge or are buying customer GT3 cars.

    I would love a GTD, but man that ZR1 is a buzz kill for Ford.

    It looks like poker chips recipients received emails yesterday regarding their allocations. Hopefully others will get their emails today or tomorrow. Good luck!
