it still looked like a pig in the corners. watch it understeer through everything. the top gear times are seriously flawed. they're fun, but definitely not scientific. Remember it also has 130 more horsepower than the 360CS.

It's a cool car and i'd love to have one. The GT40 is my favorite car ever. That doesn't change the fact that it's overweight and appears to understeer quite a bit.

msrp is about 150. good luck getting one for less than 200, if you can even get one for that.

For about 160 you can get a new GT2 which will spank the Ford GT up and down every day.

Look i want this car to be good as much as anybody. I had it as my desktop on my computer for 2 years when the first concept car came out. I've even been on the list for one for over a year and a half. The fact is, at just shy of 3500lbs Ford missed the boat in my opinion. The Viper coupe and C6 Z06 are going to crush it in every way for half and a third of the price respectively.

The car is Fantastic. I am A chevy fan, always have been, always will be. This car though... Is truely a work of art. I always Loved the GT40, and owned a couple ( In Gran Turismo 3 OF course =D ) and seeing this car given a rebirth makes me happy to be a car enthusiast alive at this time.

This car Is one of those cars that makes me PROUD to be an american. The car looks, Sounds, and Drives like a true Performance Machine. ID buy that Ford, and if you knew me, thats saying alot. Way to go Ford...
