Default 2010 & 2011 GT-Rs

My buddy and I got to race out at Road America over the weekend and were lucky enough to catch these to GT-Rs from Chicago. The silver one is the dealers's personal car and a 2010. Averaged 25 mpg at 70mph and the drive up. The black is a new 2011 with 140 miles on it (drove from Chicago after delivery to Road America). He is selling the black one for list. First time I've been up close to them and I must say, for the first time, the dark wheels are PERFECT for the black 2011... never been a dark rim fan... and I would take either!!! Very, very well done!!

On one of the pics you can see my buddy's new Raptor, which got more comments than the Ferraris we were parked next to!!!

Enjoy!!

GT40 not found


It's the current Ford GT. I'd take either one though!
