SET IT AS DEFAULT, then re-install winamp if you want.

A brief exercept about the commercial
The director of "The One," said this was the first time that a helicopter could not keep up with a car during filming. He also said that unlike other sports car commercials, the film was not sped up to make the car look better.
“Our test driver topped speeds of 140 mph and never shifted higher than fourth gear. “There was absolutely no need to use editing tricks to make the GT appear faster on film.”
The performance potential of the Ford GT was tested by Car and Driver magazine for its January 2004 cover story, “Judgment Day!” The magazine clocked the Ford GT’s 0 to 60 mph acceleration at 3.3 seconds, and it crossed a quarter-mile in 11.6 seconds at 128 mph. In the same test, Ferrari’s $193,000 Challenge Stradale took four seconds to reach 60 mph, and was 0.8 seconds and 13 mph slower through the quarter-mile.
"It wasn't even a contest," wrote Car and Driver's Larry Webster. "The Ford GT so completely dusted off its two highly recognized competitors [the Ferrari Stradale and Porsche 911 GT3] that if we wanted to make this a real challenge, we would have had to go way up the 'supercar' price ladder . . . The Ferrari and Porsche both require an upshift before 60 mph, but the Ford does not, which accounts for some of the huge sprint-time advantage."

Lets see; sell the house, the L, the M3, the dog, put the girlfriend to work on the streets.
I should have a down payment in about 12 months, now I wonder if Ford will do a 15 year lease.
They should have these to rent in Vegas this summer, I smell a road trip

I just attendedn a Ford Star broadcast to introduce us to the upcoming '05 models. The GT was one of the cars they showed. Ford is basically going to own the Super Bowl pre-game show and there will be some great commercials. They didn't show us this one. There will be one in particular you enthusiast will want to watch. It's the new Mustang and GT racing through the streets, and they are then goined by the Shelby Cobra concept. Talk about wood. They showed us that video yesterday. A deffinate must see. 
On the downside, GT production will be so low, it will be difficult to get one even if you have the money. Presidents Award winning dealers will get one, there's one other group (can't think of the name) that will get one, and then it's all by lottery. I did find out that the base sticker price is going to be $139,000.00. My understanding is a total of 500 will be produced. Now I'm not sure if that is per year or total. They are scheduled for the 2005 and 2006 molel years.
