Love how they FINALLY went with the 1967 concave taillights!

[@deathscythehell7937]

Yes sir, I've already applied for ownership of the GTD days after it's announcement a couple months ago. I've just started the second phase of my ownership. It's a hurry up and wait process, I've got my fingers crossed, wish me luck. My 22 gt500 carbon is a beast on the track easily beating exotics twice it's price. The GTD should be a straight up destroyer of supercars if everything is true to form. I can't wait.

[@theemptygarage]

That's really exciting!

[@burgerbandit3646]

Please make videos if you receive the car brother. Many people would love to see it!

[@scottstudebaker2959]

You must have a dame good job to afford 2 nice cars a gt500 ate nothing to sniz 😊 at. So if this G.T.D. is mostly made of carbon fiber it most be North of 100k 😢. Well good luck to you Mr. money bags.

[@deathscythehell7937]

@@scottstudebaker2959 Closer to 300k for the GTD, I've owned a trucking company since 96 and a construction company since 05. I do okay, no where close to the 1% but I'm able to afford a nice toy every now and then, besides you can't take it with you. As my wife says, the only difference between men and boys are the price of their toys. (Says the woman with more shoes than I care to count)

@theemptygarage LOL well then, "feast" your eyes on more of that delicious GTD 😋. Quite satisfying, I hear.

[@paulzeski6251]

It seems Ford is sooooooo close to recreating the Hoonicorn Mustang for us. I agree with the twin turbo comment over the supercharger. All wheel drive...Ken Block lay'd it down for Ford to pick up. This might also create the stability required to get the Mustang invited back to "Cars and Coffee".

[@bernl178]

I’m in love

[@double-h-farms]

Yeah man, let's go ford.. let's do this again, we did it with the gt40 at LeMans.. let's get'em

[@mark4837]

Anyone complaining about the price of this Mustang isn’t a Mustang fanatic. Price is no option for a car like this. If I had the scratch I would get it It’s a must have for any Stang lover. This is Fing engineering art. All I’ll be able to afford is the 1:18 scale. But I’m not mad. I’m just glad Ford has put this kind of love and dedication behind the Mustang. I’ve owned four Mustangs. And I’ve loved them all.

[@theemptygarage]

Couldn't agree more!

[@scottcampbell1566]

So no complaints other than you can’t afford the car you say not to complain about it’s price lol got it. I think lol 😝

[@v1-vr-rotatev2-vy_vx31]

It would be great if they can homologate it for the trans Am racing series....

[@michaelfercik3691]

You could drive the 2025 Ford GTD to the Trans Am racing event while entering and taking the win, then drive away from the event, with repeating this through the entire Tans Am series. Just because it has liceince plates for the street does not mean it is not a qualified Trans Am series contender

[@Loulovesspeed]

That won't happen. The current Mustang used in Trans Am has as much if not more HP and is plenty strong. The GTD is the street version of the Mustang GT3 used in SCCA road racing. The GTD has equipment and technology that excludes it from SCCA road racing. It is really a street version of the GT3 Mustang.

[@dionisioestandarte6981]

Lord have mercy !!!

[@promx96]

It would be a dream to have that 5.4 monster engine in a production street car

Hey all, thanks so much for checking out what we're up to here at The Empty Garage! We're having a blast creating this content and are looking for some feedback on what kind of cars, trucks, SUVs, EVs, or otherwise that you'd like to see us review? We're aiming to dive deep on some of the more obscure details that make all these vehicles so interesting, but would like to make sure YOU find them interesting too! So let us know - thanks!

[@Vencado]

What’s the seconds to 60miles per hour?

[@theemptygarage]

There are no official times yet, but estimates hover around 3.5 seconds.

[@tedzehnder961]

It is still a little tall, big and heavy for a GT3 so Ford gave it 800 hp.This is great for taller drivers in the road car. Unfortunately, the IMSA and WEC track car was forced to be naturally aspirated and given 250 less hp.So it is slower on the turns than the other GT3`s and not allowed to have the blazing straight line speed where it would kick ass. The only way it will win a race is if the other cars break down, make mistakes or the BOP is changed somehow by the officials, Ha.It`s weird that the homologated road car would beat the race car on track.

[@Mandolin1944]

They are making a track car here so I do not understand the logic of a supercharger -- turbos would make more sense?

[@theemptygarage]

You could make an argument for both, but I think it's fair to say the wizards at Ford know what they're doing :) Thanks for checking us out!

[@Loulovesspeed]

Actually, the track car is the Mustang GT3, and this GTD car is a racer born just for the street, as it won't qualify for any road racing class due to its supercharger and some other mods. The 2nd. gen. Ford GT had the same restriction.

[@Audfile]

Does it still have that garbage transmission?

[@luisfernando5998]

Do u still poo from Uranus ? Or has it started from the mouth also ?

[@dforreallogup5683]

More impressive if it was a v10 they dropped the ball with this same old v8

Going to have to respectfully disagree with you that Ford dropped the ball with this V8 - it's an impressive motor.

[@user-mg6kn3os6f]

I like it a lot but I don't love it. I would buy a more prestigious sports car for $300k. Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc. Some of these prestigious brands with a price tag of $300k may not be as fast but you won't look like a backyard hot fodder. For example, back in the 1990s in Redondo Beach, California a Mustang Saleen was ignored when a Ferrari 308 GTS arrived at the scene. The Mustang Saleen is faster but the Ferrari is no slouch in curves with the blondes. 😂😂😂😂.

[@USA1-eq2zk]

I will like to ask ford ceo what is so great or awesom about a car that the majority of average hard working americans can't afford people dont get impressed with something they can't never have or enjoy this is not the ultimate machine it is the ultimate booshit.

300k nope

[@user-mx6wj8lb7i]

Looks like a Dodge Charger Hellcat got drunk with a Porsche 912.

[@burgerbandit3646]

I can't see that in the slightest.

[@Loulovesspeed]

Now that has to be a completely undecipherable image that you conjured up. I'd say it accurately looks far more like the nasty, vicious threatening beast that Ford created from the more subdued stock Mustang.

[@jd6356]

I can already picture that Rear Wing bending / flexing @ Speed. NOT For Me @ 1/2 the price

[@DWH300]

You really made this statement regarding the rear wing flexing or bending? Obviously you haven't watched world class super cars found in IMSA turning laps at the Rolex 24 at Daytona. (The “swan-neck” rear wing is another distinctive feature-this configuration has been en vogue in GT and sports prototype racing for the past decade). Current GT3 cars uses a similar Swan-Neck wing minus the active part. The GTD uses an active rear wing and suspension that raises and lowers the Mustang's wing and suspension during laps adjusting the aerodynamics. The active wing certainly isn't going to bend. Do some research. By the way. Try to build this car for half the price it's listed using it's special Multimatic active suspension, carbon fiber body panels, 8 speed transverse DCT. A 5.2 supercharged Dry sump performance engine, Titanium exhaust system and it's 20-inch lightweight magnesium wheels, with Michelin R-compound tires measuring 345 in front and 375 in the rear for the stickiest street-legal race-spec tire Ford could get for a road car. When the 2017 Gen 2 Ford GT Supercar was introduced at $500,000. Many people like yourself complained about the price until it started starting bringing 1 million dollars at auctions. Like the Ford GT. I believe the limited production GTD will also become sn investment Super Car.

[@Loulovesspeed]

@jd6356 - Suggest you read up on the virtues of carbon fiber son..... it's far lighter and 10 times stronger than steel. That wing will absolutely not flex under load! F1 cars are made with carbon fiber and titanium for extreme stress absorption under load.

[@user-jw1wv9yk4i]

That's cool but can it take out the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT 170

[@theemptygarage]

Likely not on the drag strip, but based on what Ford is saying, it would be no contest on the race track.

@@theemptygarage- Don't be too quick to diss it on a drag strip as it's 345 rear tires, better weight balance and much lighter anticipated weight should be enough to dispatch the Challenger on the strip!

[@theemptygarage]

Do you think you'd feel differently after getting behind the wheel though?!

[@Loulovesspeed]

@ChrisPBacon198 - Coolness doesn't dictate a high price. Being literally hand built at Multimatic and using first class materials like billet aluminum and carbon fiber, along with superb engineering does! Like the 3rd. gen Ford GT, nothing was spared in designing and building this super Mustang!
