Are you responding and critiquing as an enthusiast first, or as a current Ford GT owner? Yes, I realize that the reviews by current Ford GT owners is mixed and about a 60/40 split of like vs dislike, but is it because of what you have now that is jading your (and others) opinion, or perhaps at least some of what I have read, appears to be frustration as to the fact Ford has updated, and will be releasing this updated version, taking some of the shine off the current bodied GT's .
Personally, I could see one of these in my garage, yours too.

PS: Bret, so has Bobbie asked what color yet

dispute that. However it seems that looks no different to me then other modern supercars. The new car to my eye clearly draws its cues more from the Aventadore, Enzo, 458 and McLaren more then it's supposed original progenitor the Ford GT 40.
The 2005 2006 Ford GT's or as otherwise referred to as a "petunia" project GT drew its design directly from its original progenitor the GT 40 and was a new rebirth of that car inside and out following the original lines, curves and character down to the cut outs in the roof as part of the doors etc...
This new car while a slick piece and gorgeous is a different animal.
Who can look at the new car and say "that's a GT40"
I was hoping for an updated Daytona Coupe to compete with the Viper and Vette.
This New GT will be unattainable except for oil sheiks and multi millionaires. Then you will have the usual greed from dealers with their ridiculous ADMs.
I think this new car has made the petunia era GT's instant classics overnight it will soon make them even more desirable. |
