Last car I bought intentionally was the 2004 Impala I'm still driving. Dunno what the next one will be.

The Stingray is a knockoff of the Viper. The Lutz Force is strong.

I think you have your influences reversed. The Stingray was introduced in 1963. The Viper didn't come along for another 30 years. If you want to trace the Ford GT '66 back to its roots, you have to go back to 1963 again to the Lola Mk6, the car upon which the Ford GT40 was based.

I think he was making a point and knew that.

Just for kicks, here's the 1964 Stingray:
Hard to see much resemblance to the GT40.

These cars are made mainly to bring in curiosity seekers (and car buffs) whom the dealerships hope would be tempted to buy one of their cars on display. Remember the 2003 Corvette 50th anniversary which was designed for this specific purpose limited to 10,000 vehicles.

Pretty capable truck by the looks of it. 563 horsepower and 775 lb.-ft. of torque is pretty good along with 230 to 300 miles on a charge. I would really like to know how much payload affects range though. I can't find that anywhere. Looks like it would be good to have for back-up if the power ever goes out. Should tie into my solar pretty easy.

This backup-in-an-outage part--that's just tapping batteries, right? This is not a hybrid that can generate power, right?
