So I throw this question out to the AG public, its been quite a point of contention between 2 of my friends, both real car guys without a doubt. I spoke about this with both of them today, my one buddy thought I was talking down to him because I repeated myself in a way that him feel this way, this I can't help, for him we've had this conversation before but if I'm honest but I was taken back by this. My main point was/is this, "the new Corvette is more Chevrolet than the new Ford GT is Ford". My main sticking point is this, the Ford GT is built with Ford parts but assembled in Canada by a non-Ford company/plant called Multi-matic, a company that makes racecars and doesn't assemble any other cars for another OEM.
Thoughts???

Each vehicle is in its own league, but I see your point. The Corvette is ‘everyone’s’ car, whereas the GT is so limited and classified as a super car...
If my memory is correct it was the Boss 429 that went to Kar Kraft for the swap. I actually got to drive one for the local dealer around a local midget dirt track back in 70.

Thank you for the spelling correction, I was born February 4th, 1970

Interesting observation.....another interesting case to me, the Acura NSX....Japanese brand, (though Acura only exist in North America, known as Honda NSX outside North America) co-designed in USA by the lovely Michelle Christensen, completely built in Ohio at Acura PMC....what say you?.........IMHO I kinda don't care.....if its a great design and accomplishes goal of sticking to the heritage of its predecessors just bringing the performance to modern levels of absurdness (which I love btw)...
And I think it’s forward thinking by Ford. Would you want the same guys assembling a f 150 putting your GT together? Instead of spending all that money on facilities and training on the car why not use someone who has the no how? Long as Ford is giving the specs and tolerances I see no difference on being more Ford.
Now if they threw a BMW engine and tranny in it......
