Customers started getting cars ages ago. Why haven't the press been allowed in one yet?

Interesting read.

Well, the new Ford GT just got about a hundred times cooler. It turns out that the new mid-engine supercar was made to avenge the death of ‘Project Silver,’ a quarter-million dollar Mustang race car that was canceled before it saw the light of day.

This unbelievably vengeful origin story comes straight from the mouth of the guy who oversaw the new Ford GT program, Raj Nair. At the SAE International’s WCX conference in Detroit yesterday, Nair recounted how he initially supported the Mustang as the car Ford would use to take on Le Mans, but his superiors killed the program.

It was called Project Silver after the Lone Ranger’s horse, and would have had some $250,000 in mechanical and aerodynamic modifications for it to win the GT class at Le Mans. Even a homologation special—that is, a road-going version of the race car that you could buy—was in the cards, as Peter DeLorenzo of Auto Extremist wrote in June last year....
