I've always loved the Ford GT, especially the heritage edition. Those go for like 350K+. A normal GT, higher (for a GT) mileage can be low 200s. If I won the lotto, **** it I'll buy the cheap GT and it's getting a 20K repaint in heritage edition, and then a clear bra over that. :)

I realize it's off topic, but -- a good-condition Heritage FGT @ $350K? Where could a fellow find one at that price point?

Um. Asking for a friend, of course.

Smells like jealousy in here...

"I wish I had a McLaren and I don't and you want to do something to it that I don't personally agree with and therefore I'm going to call you names because I'm 12."

It's a polarizing color. If you like it, go for it. However, if one of these fine folks starts paying your car note, then maybe take their flaming opinion with more than a grain of salt.

@treynor this is about 15 minutes from my house. They’ve had it forever. If you buy it please don’t wrap it....

New Inventory | Louisburg Ford
I've seen it a few times myself and it's the owners. I think it's been for sale since the day he bought it!

OP - Not my first color choice, but I'm sure it'll look good. Best thing, you can change it up next time if you get bored.

Haha that makes sense, I wondered why it's listed as New Inventory but has 13k miles...

All of us Have to expect when we post up on a public forum that we might receive some different opinions. Some good, some bad. OP has been here long enough to know that. I suspect the passion around most of these comments is not based in jealousy. It is how one conducts and portrays themself (CEO personalized plate). There are numerous people on this forum that could pay cash for a Mclaren (not finance). You would never know it. I know for a fact one person in this thread who shall remain nameless (not Treynor) has the amount on hand in old mason jars. You would never know it because he never comes off that way in his posts.

My point is some humility goes a long way. The OP seems like a nice guy. If I recall he is a decorated veteran for which I have great respect. I just think he would get less flack if he acted like a “broke ass mustang owner” than an exotic connoisseur.

Lmao, everyone has different taste I get that but wow...
Not my style but you do you OP, if it makes you happy go for it. Honestly curious to see what it looks like. Thinking about wrapping my Tiger Racing hood (if it's even possible) in CF since the paint quotes I'm getting are absolutely insane. Think wrapping might require less prep work.
Simpler is better in my mind, car is sick no matter what.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Some good points made here.

This was not an insulting post to OP.
