I agree to the max. It was not intended to compete with Ferrari's or other exotics....except in speed. It is the modern incarnation of the GT40...a race car, a muscle car, an american brute. It may not match the exotics in sexiness but it looks cool to me. If I had one I would paint it black, no racing stripe, with 20 inch chromies.

GOODBYE FORD GT.....about time they got rid of the damn thing, LOL! It is a great car and I feel honored to have seen alot of them here in the suburbs of New Orleans. I find it funny that people in Ca haven't seen them on the street there but I have seen alot here. Its a great car and I thought it looked good. I would own one but not for the price. Why buy that when I could get a ZO6 for $75k and drop 20K in it and be even with the Ford GT OR how about I send it off to Lingafelter and Twin turbo it and run circles around the Ford GT for about the same price. Great car but over priced unless you are a Ford die hard IMO!

I still prefer the Z06 though.
Ford GT is a unique looking car but just doesn't do it for me.

What a coincidence. After posting on this thread, I go out for a drive on the interstate and guess what swoops by me. Yep a GT. I'm in a rental Dodge Charger but I tried to keep up to get a good look. The car appears so low from the rear. The roofline seems lower than any other sports car out there. After a while the guy decides to step on it and he's gone. Boy do I miss my G.

Sending a C6 Z06 off to Lingenfelter for their TT setup is going to set you back A LOT more than $20K.

Went to my Ford dealer yesterday to get the 5K on my Explorer. Wandered in the showroom and what do I see, a dark silver (no stripe) GT. Looked incredible. Got a chuckle out of the yellow sign hanging from the rear view mirror though... it said (get this) "Family Pricing!" LOL
I think it was $169K or something??
A bargain compared to the $460K I saw the Carrera GT going for.

according to Jeremy Clarkson, these Ford GTs are very very quirky and super unreliable
also there should be a few of these around, if u havent seen them on the road, there should be 1 in almost every ford dealerships on display

thats because most of these often have to go back to ford dealerships for repairs

u know i think there just might be more on display than actually sold and being driven
lol
well anyways, these cars drinks gas like theres no tomorrow
so if u want to see a Ford GT, i think either the dealerships or the gas stations are good places to start
