An Aston Martin made by Chrylser for about 50K. Ford has no balls but Diamler just might...
One can only hope. This could be the car that would make me buy my 1st Chrysler.

I don't know about the ford comment. They are building the GT and now are talking about the GR-1.My first thought when I saw this was Aston Martin.

As far as the Chrysler, it is a 425 hp 6.1 hemi. The Ford as of yet is just in its styling phase, but if the GT is any indication, it will be awesome. However they have to be convinced to build it first. With the buzz coming from the new Mustang, the GT and the new Cobra concept, I'm afraid that the GR-1 may never come to be, at least not any time soon.

The same guy who styled the Chrysler ME Four-Twelve styled the Firepower concept.
The Ford Shelby GR-1 uses a lot of parts from the 550 hp Ford GT so it would reduce costs. Ford has also been developing 600+ hp V-10.

Well Ray, at least with the Firepower, you may actually be able to buy one before you're 50! LOL.

The Shelby GR-1 looks like a modern version of the Shelby Daytona Coupe.
check here for pictures of the Firepower

The Firepower reminds me of an Aston Martin and the 2001 Crossfire concept.
here is the 2001 concept
