I like the Ford GTs looks, retro interior, easy power mod potential and power delivery.
Here are the things that can a bit annoying:
- You can only really take it for a drive and bring it back home. There is zero room for anything other than a female passenger. And if you park it, you have to be sure it's not near any cars. Not because your afraid of dings but because the you need to fully open the unique integrated roof-doors to get in. If someone parks next's to you - you might have to wait until they leave... err- kind of embarrassing (hope for Valet parking)
- When you're sitting in the car, you have the huge-thick A pillar just about covering your left eye. Hence the visibility isn't as good as the F430, Lambo G's, or Porsches. You get used to it but it does impede on spirited street driving especially on unfamiliar back roads.

The worse design of the GT is probably the doors and yes they do require a lot of room to open even half way and the top of the door makes getting in and out very difficult. But there's been a couple of solutions for that and one coming soon. Check out www.fordgtforum.com for more insights into the most beautiful car ever made, IMHO.
