I always wondered where the Fuel tank of a Super Car is located. You cant put it in the front and if it is at the back it would be really small. But you cant really judge, I'm a Dumbass it would be awesome if I knew. Can you Help Me?!?!?

Sorry, missed this before. The tank in the gt runs the center tunnel of the car. Supercars have many different designs, and schools of thought on this, the location on the GT (for my understanding) was done for crash safety.

I would never have the courage to cut that car

It really isn't that frightening. We worked with Ford on that project, the design came from the Ford Engineer that had done the GT project.. we knew exactly what we were heading toward, and we had all the support in the world to get there. Kip Ewing (ford) has amazing skill!

Yea, it is not a one-peice thing if you screwed up a part you could get e new peice.

Okay, please forgive my blond this early in the morning. I tried to hit reply, and hit remove instead on the last comment, he asked if the removal of the top was dangerous to the structural integrity of the car.. The answer is no. The design was done by Kip Ewing, the engineer who did the GT project. The chassis is a W design and very rigid, the support bars were moved, not removed. The beauty of having an engineer do the design is that the finished product is safe and well done.
