They also said it would have IRS, but it wont. Ford had a problem, the chassis was a lot more expensive, as well as the improved interior, ect. but they couldnt raise the price too much, so they dropped the IRS and 6 spd (I'm pretty sure the 6 spd was always a "maybe" on the GT tho). In fact, the '05 GT was origionally supposed to be only available in IRS, then they changed it to IRS as an option, and now they have decided to go without the IRS entirely.
