Ditto, I thought it was "homemade" as well when seeing it up close. Italian seem very precisely made in comparison.

When seeing from far, the car has tremedous road presence due to its width and low height. I am sure it's packed w performance but the quality has more to be desired.

It is unique though. Not sure if I want to pull up to a Ford dealer. Their driveway will probly scrape the hell out of he car, not to mention all the low lifes that go there. SNOB

 

It's produced by the same company that makes escort, taurus, and crown vic. nuff said. fit and finish complaints??? what do you expect, it's still a ford.

 

Couldn't agree more, I can't imagine what the techs at the dealer would be doing with a Ford GT, they seem to be very good at trashing everything else that comes into the dealer. So i assume that the Ford GT would get romped 10x better then anything else they lay their hands on.

 

It ROCKS!

Harleys have long been known as stinky oil spuing beast also. Doesn't mean they are not desirable. I'm sure the seal thing is fixed by now. The Ford GT40 is a very cool car with TONS os soul. The Lemans winning heritage and simple brutallity of the car make me hard. So much better looking than the viper. It's in a class of it's own in the mystique department.

 

I completely agree. Its soul, its look, it's heritage will turn many, many more heads than any Porsche... in America. It might even get more love than the CGT from the general America public.

it is ALL AMERICAN. Can't hate. I appreciate, but do I like it? Not really. Profile view... that sucker is freakin' long in a bad way.

 

Buddyg, so you're thinking FGT instead of CGT now???

 

I was going to say the same thing. Replicas like this will bring better performance and fit/finish than the Ford GT.

 

well, i don't know if anyone sharing the same thought as mine but i gotta say it.

performance it's not better than the new Z06 so if u think u're buying for its performance think again. btw it's supercharged while the Vette is NA. i'm not a super fan of the Z06 but i think Chevy will be laughing. if u're buying for its exotic look i will never buy a ''local exotic'' period. so the car kinda sucked now plus all the Ford dealer boneheads think it's the best car in the world. anybody mentioned over sticker? yike!

 

talk about oversticker.... i was talking to a chevy manager the other day about the z06's. he's pre-sold everyone he's getting for $100K. cha ching

 

This month's issue of Automobile compared the Ford GT, C6 ZO6 and new Viper Coupe head-to-head. They pretty much surmised that the C6 ZO6 is the way to go (best car overall)....but they would take the GT over the others if money were no object...due to it's exclusivity and looks.

I personally think the GT is way, way overpriced. But a pretty car nonetheless that I wouldn't mind having in my garage.

 

they're funny. if money is no issue i wouldn't buy a Ford. but that means rich people who can afford the Ford GT will soon hate it after the hype. i smell the used market good.

 

But in this case, their only choices were between Ford, Dodge or Chevy. I imagine they would have chosen something entirely different had it been part of the article. I know I would have.

 

agreed scott.

 

Thanks Cleve,

I have owned 2 Superformance Cobra's and they are top notch!

 

I think someone in my neighborhood has a red one but he almost never drives it. On the road the GT is exotic looking and eye catching but doesn't live up in fit and finish when you get close. The tail lights are little funky. Think of it as a modern day Pantera or a cheap F430.
