Wow Dave, thanks for sharing. Great article in AutoWeek this issue interviewing Jay Leno who had a GT on loan I think and also owns a new Ford GT and a Mercedes SLR (gullwing!) and he was comparing them all. He's a real car nut, and a funny guy.
He described the Porsche GT as a technological tour de force. But he said the Ford GT was the bargain of the century and something a regular car guy can work on.

Oh and I *LOVE* the new 997. It will definitely be something I look at when I get serious about another car.

Those wheels are designed that way to;
1. allow additional cooling for the Ceramic brakes/brakes.
2. Lets people see the giant brake system.
Concerning the GT-3 wheels, they were patterned after the original 15" Funch wheels of the 70s.

I also trust Porsche quality more. I've heard some not so flattering things about Ferrari build quality, particularly the interior.
