Thanks for the kind words .....Glad ya guys like it.The GT really is a work of art,from the beautiful aluminum body and chassis to the billet control arms and the bulletproof drivetrain.What other platform can you more than double the hp and not have to upgrade the fuel system or drivetrain?Ford really did their homework when they developed this car because it shows when you get it out on the road.Sorry I waited so long to get one but glad i have it now.Its definetely a keeper.Joe

Hard to compare the two.My Z only has and tune and the Gt an exhaust(hardly had any seat time with either bone stock)but in regards to power the Z feels seat of the pants quicker,that could be due to the fact that the GT is not broken in as of yet,but I will know better after more miles.As far as the chassis and rest of the drivetrain the GT is head and shoulders above the Z in regards to overall feel at speed.The GT is raw and bare bones(no traction or stability) and has no where to put anything,hell there isn't even enough room for a CD case in the car but I never find myself missing those things.On the other hand the Z is an every day supercar that you can take to Costco shopping or to the beach and put beach chairs in and still be comfortable.Both are great cars.

A buddy's before and after pix of his solid black FGT: It took balls to remove the side stripes but I think it really looks good.

Looks like trouble . Congrats on the purchase.


blaze: Looks like a different car without the stripes. For my taste, either looks great in its own way.

Thanks much for the feedback.

I've been sniffing around GT's since before I bought my Z.... I think I need to hitch a ride in a GT.

Unfortunately, not enough room for both (not to mention the extra $100K).

Hmmmm.....
