Gotta hand it to those loos, they did NOT poo in it. although honestly i wish Ferd had sourced a V8 from JAG for the new "GT" if they didn't want to use their own. hell, could've started a joint venture between the two companies to make a special V8 for that car.

I like how the series 1 has a GM motor.

kinda like with the original GT40
but if that were the case then it would've been jaguar gt, not ford gt

Probe was years ahead of its time. Had that car been released now under another marque and name dealers wouldn't be able to keep them on their lots.

incorrect: FORD AUSTRALIA owned controlling stake of 54% its now down to 11% some tech is still shared but ecoboost is ford and skyactive is mazda.

never badge engineered probe. the mx6 mazda isnt even close to looking like the ford even though same mecanicals.

never rebaadged mazda mx5 becase mazda already did. call it the eunos. plus ford australia had the capri SA convertable based on mazda 323 station wagon chassis body designed in australia.

never gave factory cobra but OP never heard of the monster miata kit....

pic related its OP

Thing is, the Probe was aimed at the demographic that the original Mustang was and it succeeded in the same way.

The Mustang is now on a path to extinction since it shares ever less with other models and Ford doesn't play that game for long. Unless something is done soon one day a suit is going to figure out it's too expensive to make and they'll kill it.

>50 years later people still think the Shelby Cobra had anything to do with Ford and that some day the Ford Motor Company will look down from on high and see fit to produce a high-powered two-door roadster just like the ones that guy imported from England, did engine swaps on and sold through his buddy at the dealer

No, I find it silly that when people think of the Cobra they think of Ford even though all they did was supply a crate engine and the car is in reality mostly British in design and engineering.

I bet there's a room of Ford engineers locked away until they figure out how to turn the Mustang platform into a 5-door crossover.
