GTR Mustang @ NY and Ward's Auto Subscribers

[Dan05GTOwner]

BON says Ford will release a Mustang GTR at NY Autoshow on main page. Need Ward's auto subscription to get to article.

I wonder what in the world that could be?

Will it be a SEMA-like concept or a future production car?

If Ford has decided to stop using the Cobra name as has been rumored, the GTR may be the new Cobra R.

Still they could come up with something better than GTR.

Ford is probably using it to test people's reactions to it before releasing it. With all the rich history of Mustang names/variants, I can't imagine Ford would result to something as obvious a Nissan ripoff as "GTR"--especially with all the (justified) ridicule Mustang owners get for putting a GTR badge on their cars. I personally want to see the production vert.

Does anyone have a subscription to see what the article says?

So I guess nobody heard that Ford just trade marked the gtr name?

If the regular V8 car is GT, then there is nothing wrong with GT-R for the higher perf version. I'm sure Nissan isn't the first car company to use that designation.

If it's got the performance for the right price, I'm sure there will be plenty of people snapping them up while the traditionalists piss and moan about the name.

Shelby's race versions were designated as GT-350R. So there is some history there.

This is about the billionth post on this subject on about 4 different sites...

...I hope sideways hat wearing idiots don't start (if they aren't already are) slappin stupid "R" badges on their GTs now.

That being said, I can't wait to see what Ford comes out with.
