eric b, Both yes and no as sometimes it would be interesting to read a response.

This car will go down the road of the Pantera... a leader in nothing but looks. (And I like Pantera's... but you don't buy one for speed!)
The Viper & C6 Z06 will smoke it (IMO)... and do everything better... the GT isn't light... and for $135K+ I need more than 5.4 litres... unless it has a Ferrari Badge! :burnout:
I loved the GT ad during the Super Bowl... and think it is bad ass... But it is about $70K over priced!
And I will be willing to bet... they SIT on the lots! For the guys who pay the premiums... just talk to the '00R guys that bought their cars for Sticker ++ Only to find out 2 years later... they were lucky to pull in $45K! Now... $40K is tough to bring! :rollseyes
Anyways... sorry for being the Pessimist... I just think Ford REALLY messed up... and this car won't be anything but special to the few dozen people who 'have to have one'
And as for... you'd rather buy new... because if it's used it will be beat to shit? Please... how many people can afford $135K cars... and beat them to shit... generally they treat their cars pretty good! :beer:
I won't mind picking mine up in 3 years with 2500 miles on it for $65,000
Peace!

If you want a more ACCURATE GT 40......
Superformance, the company that builds the really nice 427 AC roadsters, will shortly be releasing their GT40!!!!!!! Supposed to be very authentic!! They're guessing around $95K everything except motor. (wouldn't you rather have a 347 anyway?)
It will be the REAL dimensions and the REAL weight, with no A/C, cupholders, etc.,
The real GT40, was a true RACE CAR, and the street versions were RACE CARS, they were loud, they rode rough, and HAULED ASS!!
Superformance is bringing us the real deal, get exceited about that!!
go to www.gt40s.com, these guys live and breathe this stuff, and they're not too crazy about this new plush copy cat thats the too heavy, too cushy, and TOO BIG!!
just my .02
