[@TheyCallMeMidnight]

I swear if the guess host isn't Erica I'm going to be very disappointed, I'll still watch fld that day and I'll still like the video, but I'll watching with an attitude

[@aboud510]

[@TASCOM44]

It's not like Alejandro is too poor to fly over

[@stevensanchez330]

yaaaaaas its time for errrrca to host next week

[@TASCOM44]

The guy off camera sounds like badger from breaking bad

[@PetrolheadsParadise]

Well. special cars. special pricing for service. if u can't afford service. u shouldn't have the car. i feel this abt owning a supercar

[@RobinsM]

30k is the price the dealer has to pay for all the equipment required to service them. Customer wont pay that much probably be around $3K at most

[@kablow3128]

I hope you race salomondrin in his 918 and fail....

[@Chris-bc1tw]

lmao someones frustrated

[@SavageConversations]

That Funk Flex shootout tho... I see you Derek!

[@computerapple4]

Erlica as the HOST!!!! Also firsy!

[@rstevensmd]

When the Viper was introduced Dodge did the same thing to dealers that Ford is doing to dealers for the GT. Our local Dodge dealership just tacked on the cost of servicing upgrades to the price of the first Viper sold.

[@Geo32392]

cinnamusk looked like he caught a money shot 😅

[@hondatrix]

If a service costs 3000 per service, it will be worth it...

[@markishii8485]

The $30k cleanroom and special tools for the Ford GT will be exceptionally clean since it will be empty 99% of the time.

[@HammerRocks]

Derek, you're one funny guy.

[@andyrayna4303]

Rapid fire news was good today!

[@Cuseball121]

Everyone bitching about the service needs of the Ford GT needs to realize that Nissan has almost the same requirements of their dealers that service GTR's.

[@RobinsM]

No the Ford GT is different they must pick up your car in an enclosed trailer, GTs have to have their own separate bay and then covered when not being worked on. It has to be a certified Ford GT center with a Ford GT specialist. Group 1 is a for servicing and lighting work, Group 2A is complex diagnosis and increased repair difficulty, Group 2B is Complex repairs that need a multimatic "fly in doctor" Group 3 is major repairs where the car will be taken back to 1 of 2 multimatic center or the assembly center. All the dealerships with owners in their area will be notified of their level and required equipment and training.

[@DPisawesome12]

I think the 30k isn't as bad as it sounds. Having the ability to service a Ford GT would probably help with the marketing of that dealer as well. All else being equal, I know I'd rather go to the dealer that could service the Ford GT just the the chances of seeing one. Also as part of their interview process for who they're going to sell these GT's too, weren't they making sure that they will actually be driven? I bet a lot of them will be hammered on. :D

[@Night_Diver81]

Ive looked everywhere for that vine you guys are quoting ... Since a long time ago when u first did it .. Cant find it =(.

[@rockyforer]

of course any dealer would invest $30,000 into their dealership. it's a no-brainer they get to say we're special we can service the GT. they will probably put it in a room behind glass and possibly pay owners to have their cars in the shop so people can peak in and get a get a look at the GT

[@RobinsM]

Part of the requirements is that the car must be in its own bay and then covered at all times when not being worked on.

[@biturboi6]

$30,000 is a tiny investment for a big car dealership. I don't think you people realize the cost of doing business. Average cost to build and stock a new car dealer is over 10 million dollars. An extra $30,000 is peanuts to them. Before spending the 30k Ford is going to be able to tell the dealer how many clients own GT's in their area so they will know if this is worth the money. In L.A or New York city it is a no brainer. In Alaska probably not.

[@sulleimankamau3211]

hey Derek!! thought the audi rs6 uses a twin turbo 4.0 v8?? HP n Torque figures similar..

[@demetricklouis5710]

#FLDQoftheD "Do youthink Ford dealerships will be receptive to paying $30K to service the Ford GT?" It depends on three things, location location location. That is to say that typically cater to afluent buying wouldn't have an issue droping that much money to service the brands high end sportscar. They expect the car to draw a crowd and potential customers. Maybe not for a GT but that Mustang GT350R in their showroom isn't looking too shabby either. The dealership is The dealerships that market more in pickups and economy won't be inclined to take the plunge. In short, a dealership in Manhattan, New York might be willing to pay, but a dealership in Manhattan, Montana would diffenately pass.

[@JimmyTheMachine]

I was wondering when The Drive would start FLD down on that road to sellout status.....

[@bottomlayer]

Perhaps they should've sold the GT as a Lincoln? The Lexus LFA doesn't require such special service, even if it's no Corolla.

[@vroomtastic1819]

More Bob Shoeman JR Videos!

[@Cloxxki]

For the typical drive kids to school in a tank usage, 60kWh is plenty. Especially if you have a home charger. It does it overnight, even from empty. Single motor X? Then larger frunk I suppose? Have yet to see a vid on it. The 60 is not lighter (more efficient) than the 75, it's the same pack, just limited in the top end I believe.You get the quick low end charging, though. If Tesla wanted, they'd easily spec 120kWh already. Sightly heavier car. No more lowest suspension setting or slightly raised chassis due to thicker battery pack. Another approach could be a true luxury version. Extended chassis, Rolls Royce style wheels, more limo style interior. Easily space for 150kWh for a VIP owner with a driver who has no bladder.

[@SWTrailsAndWheels]

I really miss this show

[@godlyobject6509]

This confirms it, the new Ford GT really is meaningless. The 05-06 Ford GT's we're not only amazing in their own right, but they were ahead of the game (beating out the likes of Ferrari, Porsche, Lambo, etc); while this is a billboard on wheels for their V6 and a move into the "exclusive" market by making the car a diva (which, if you pay attention, is the trend of the exotic industry of late). I LOVE that it came back after 50 years and destroyed Le Mans, I really do; but it did so as a tool, a car, an icon-returned; yet here we are treating it like a fur rug made of unicorn skin. This is so far removed from a what a Ford should be that I don't care anymore. I don't doubt every owner will effectively be paid to drive theirs for a time before selling it at a profit, but that's the only pull for this car (as fun as those moments may be for the owners). It's people with money who know how to make money work for them; it's not a passion, it's not a pursuit, nor is it a joy to obtain due to the PR nonsense that is the application-process. This is officially a rant, but as someone who thinks the 05-06 Ford GT is the perfect road car (love me or hate me), this is a disgrace. As one last point to those who may think me a chevy fanboy, etc; I drive a second gen SVT Lightning; I love Ford, but this is just stupid. Stop trying to act like Ferrari; we're all REALLY proud that you beat them again 50 years later at Le Mans, we really are, but if I have to second-guess myself in order to change the oil or to change the plugs, then it's not a real Ford. Make no mistake, this is one hell of a car, but the treatment, the pitch, the face it's given, not so much. This isn't a car, its an investment, and no investment should be pursued with emotion.

[@laitchdasi]

I miss this

[@Keep_On_Bricking]

nice stuff !

[@flywithhuddy]

Ford said that there would be a ford GT spider.

[@rylanshort9108]

People with supercars dont want to go to a Ford dealership to have their car serviced. If you think there will be more than 20 or 30 dealerships selling and servicing GT's you are wrong.

[@RobinsM]

The cars a sold directly from ford the dealership can be anyone of your choice. They asked for your preferred dealer in the application. Then which dealerships can service them is set up in tiers of what kind of work they can do. It has to be a certified ford GT center with a Ford GT specialist. Group 1 is a for servicing and lighting work, Group 2A is complex diagnosis and increased repair difficulty, Group 2B is Complex repairs that need a multimatic "fly in doctor" Group 3 is major repairs where the car will be taken back to the assembly center. All the dealerships with owners in their area will be notified of their level and required equipment and training. That is how the system is set up and the dealer is required to have an enclosed trailer to pick up your car and take it to the right dealer.

[@ServoDestroyer]

Is the new model 60d as crashy as the others?

[@jrstormont]

I would say that some Ford dealerships, in high-class metropolitan areas, will have no problem paying the $30k. If you live in California, you're golden... Take your pick of LA or the Bay Area. If you're on the east coast, surely Florida will have at least one service bay. If you're a manager in oil in North Dakota, you might be hard pressed to find something nearby. Roger Penske can afford to put it in all of his Ford dealerships. I think if it becomes too big of an issue, Ford will offer some kind of assistance to dealerships. Because in the end, they'd have a lot of unhappy people that couldn't get their freakin' FORD serviced!

[@soldiernew5187]

mixed it up for the RFN!!! Oh yaaa

[@chidianuforo3670]

Thumbs up for the shout out to Funk Master Flex

[@joshuaspires9252]

But what is the mark up on the sale of the car.. if they make 100k on the sale then its a meh deal...

[@RobinsM]

No markup buyers pay ford directly

[@hassanalthuwaini4268]

I tried it said it's full

[@wilhelmZ2000]

I see only the huge dealerships that sell the cars will fork over the scratch. just for the loss and tax write off.

[@mendoramani7616]

Panamera 4.0 V8 is from Audi not given to them since rs6 and s8 have that engine check it

[@SebastianBlix]

Nissan does something similar with the GTR.

[@Scorpion7substance]

Funny the first car I used in the game was my car.

[@Paul_pdrs]

Alex from carthottle!!

[@sickjohnson]

#FLDQoftheD - The will sell the GT's for over $100K over list price of $500K so it is no big deal to them at all. The real problem could be that they will have to sell 30-50 of the worst and hardest to sell cars that ford makes for every GT they want. So what will happen is one dealer per city will get the accreditation for the GT and have all the Ford Fiesta's in town too. That is the stupid part. LOL

[@syberplatinumz7336]

#FLDQoftheD perhaps Ford doing this is a foreshadowing of more generation GT's to come. Even after this generation production is done.

[@furrypineapple4374]

the person is going to be Adam Ferrara

[@speedfiend925]

#FLDQoftheD, I think the 30k update to the dealership pays off long term. Here is why. Anyone that can spend that kind of cash on a car has oodles of money to spend and very possibly has kids. Those kids will eventually need what? CARS! You just potentially bought multiple customers with that one purchase. Plus once the warranty on that VERY expensive Ford GT runs out guess where they are going to take it? BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP! So there's even more money they can earn on parts and repairs. My guess would be only the largest and most capitalized dealerships will end up servicing these cars. It's a gamble that they will make more money on potential additional customers, parts and repairs than the initial investment but it is a gamble a larger dealership may be willing to take. ;-)

[@jayco1256]

I just saw Derek D on car throttles snapchat story!

[@saddist1Gtown]

That is a nonsensical argument about the service of the GT, it is all about being at the service of the owner instead of something going wrong? I think Ford is right, they need to give the owners of the GT a sense of exclusivity and importance- A concierge service is in keeping with such a rare and expensive car. I like 99% of the content on the show but to knock Ford for having the decency to provide a first class service says a lot about the mindset of the so called petrol heads on the show? Good on Ford for daring to be of service to it's customers....

[@101RealTalker]

CUP GANG! 😲

I`VE NEVER SEEN ERICA HOST THE SHOW PLZ LET IT BE HER

[@S.t.e.a.m.f.i.t]

Hey fast lane daily

[@conceptcs]

please have Erica host !!!

[@rogerthat24]

#FLDQoftheD It just doesn't make financial sense to spend $30K to service one car that will rarely come in. It might make sense for some dealers who have five or more GT owners tho.

[@RobinsM]

Dealerships with owners in their area will be notified and then when you need a service they come in an enclosed trailer to take it to a certified GT service center so if there is one 100miles away they will take it there free of charge

[@MrRobin285]

ford fuxked themselves real good with this move

[@jrhalpha]

... torque.

[@Bargainteers]

#FLDQoftheD lol you think a company is going to spend $30k for no reason? lol. bring that Ford GT into that damn facility and they will find some shit that needs to be replaced. they'll charge $1000 just look at it. hell, you don't want to fix it? Good luck finding the next dealership! If I was a trained mechanic I'd milk the hell out of the buyer because i know they are going to beat the piss out of it on the race track! "Oh you went to the race track?? Damn. better replace those brembo brakes with those wheels!"
