Well as to the "poser"allegation, I plead guilty. In fact I'm proud of it. Yup. No problem.
Fact of the matter is most of us are "posers". There is a minority here that seriously track their cars and can drive them to their potential but the rest....give me a break....That includes anyone who professes not to be a "poser" by implication by casting the "poser stones" as to others unless they car to enlighten us with their hardcore racing credentials.
Just take a look on that salvage site linked above. Theres the proof. Many guys who own FGT, Vipers, Vettes or any other high performance cars have more money then brains demonstrated by their belief they can drive any one of these cars to its potential.
Many here own these cars because they are performance car enthusiasts. Call them posers or whatever you want but we each own these cars (Cobras, FGTs, Vettes, Vipers, Ferraris, Lambos etc..) for reasons that we enjoy. There is no need to explain or justify ownership to anyone especially to those motivated by sour grapes to throw stones.
This thread was started because I saw that there was alot of interest here in the new ZR1 and its natural comparison to the FGT. My Avatar has noted my FGT for nearly 1 1/2 years now. The response to this thread has been lively and civil and responsive to the question. Unfortunately there are some little petty minds here that can't resist trying to throw some stones or aspersions. The usual group.
As far as pumping my choice, I didn't pump at all. I post the question and asked for votes. Besides we all have favorites and biases. Mine is unashamedly the FGT. Anyway seems the majority here picked the FGT overwhelmingly and even those on the Vette site agree with the majority here as to which they would pick. I certainly didn't pump on the Vette site, if thats what you say I did here (which I didn't). It was just a poll based on discussion and debate in a prior poll. Get over it!
JWilly: The FGT won the European FIA Championship series in 2008. Check out

Matech is coming to the US for 2009. Watch out Vette boys and to borrow a phrase from Jermey Clarkson the FGTs will be hunting for those "(Ferrari) aristocratic weenies" Watch out here come the FGTs!
"Keeping the legend alive". Go Matech!
No history or heritage that I can see! ROFLMAO
Oh, yeah, here are some of those weenie poser FGTs at work.
