That takes care of domestic iron. The upcoming Z06 and Cobra both sound promising, too.

You can't get one of these in the States; but, maybe if money were truly no object...

From that movie with Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman & John Travolta.
Swordfish.
Yep, if money is no object, I don't think getting that car to the US would be either. All you'd have to do is have it modified to meet US safety specs. (Bumpers, airbags, etc..)
Guys were buying dirt-cheap Mercedes Benz's in Germany, and spending $2 -$3,000 to make them meet US specs, then shipping them home.
Not a bad investment to bring home a German-speced (For the most part) 300E. The Mercedes G500 was on US streets looooooooong before Mercedes started exporting them to us. They were imported into a specialty dealer in New Mexico....
That said, I wonder why I've never seen a Nissan Skyline GTR coupe in the US (Except for on The Fast & The Furious). Nissan's been teasing the US for 15 years with that car.

There are SOOOOOO many increadible cars out now it would be shame to limit yourself to the Ford Family. Today's auto market is a car-lovers dream come true!!!

Maybe some foreign exotics, but definitely no other domestic. Gimme a GT or a Saleen or the new Shelby thing anyday, you can have all the Vettes, Camaros, Firebirds, whatever.

You can't help but see some Viper lines in this thing...
Then again, I see a lot of Honda S2000 in the new Viper's design.
It's still nice though...

I don't think anyone called it a Speed 6.
As mentioned before, it's a T440R (Tuscan). The Speed 12 never made it into production.
This is the TVR Speed 12 as launched in 1997. The Speed 12 is powered by a 7.7 litre V12 that produces an awesome 800hp. This rocketship has the power to weight ratio of three times that of a Ferrari F355, the only car that comes close is the McLaren F1 but that is still 20% short. All this power rockets the Speed 12 from 0 - 100 kph in 2.9 seconds. TVR intended to built 1 every month but only two were built, the Speed 12 has been superceded by the Cerbera Speed 12.
