So guess what, they spend 300K more for______(your favorite brand here) plus they pay a premium to get it fixed. A majority of people that buy cars like this probably owned Ferraris, Lambos Porsches which all suffer from there fair share of recalls, blown engines, etc., so most of them know what to expect if something goes wrong.

Basically, dont knock it till you try it, and give credit where credit is due. Heck even if you go to exotic car forums you will notice that peope who actually own Lambos and Ferraris are respecting and praising the GT. Not because of whats on the front, but because of its potential, and its potential to smoke there beloved 300K more Italian car brand. If we can actually look pass the brand name or what yall call a POS Ford, then you would actually notice that the car is argueably one of the best supercars on the market today, for price and performance. Looks of course are very subjective, but dont think its not a attention getter, like every other exotic car.
My past experiance in buying ford products (new I might add) has put me in the camp of "I'll never buy another ford again. I could write a sizable story about the many problems I've had but I just don't feel like wasting time on that topic. In all fairness to your statement, I'll revise my previous statement post to say "IMHO, the ford gt is nothing short of a 130k piece of fast (when is runs) junk
