...outside a Brooklyn bar, and a bunch of guys are standing around admiring the new Mustang GT. "The old one lost its buzz," says a kid circling the car, asking about its engine (eight cylinders), power (300 h.p.) and torque (315 lb.-ft.).

Ford introduced this new GT40 as a concept car at the Detroit auto show in January. It drew rave reviews and a cascade of calls and emails from interested buyers, including a gang of small businessmen from the East Coast who flew their jet out for a private viewing...
