    Hope F-Chat does better than their '05-'06 GT predictions of losing value! LOL

    the b pillar treatment and the tunnels that finish at the rear spoiler is quite dramatic. is this car targeting the 458 or the LaF?

    please remember how the gt was received by the 360 guys back in the day...it was essentially the position that it was just and will always be a ford and never a Ferrari.

    the gt has stood up well to the years and the critics. I suspect this new ford may endure similarly...but that is just my guess.

    A terrific update to the remake... But does ford have any commitment to the market? Or just be another Acura...?

    Aweful. They should not have called it the Ford Gt. It's turned a legend into a marketing gimmick.

    I really like it, especially the separation of the B pillar and rear wheels ... very prototype car like.

    To me it looks like one of Audi's designers tried to reskin an Aventador with a Ford GT theme.

    Kinda looks like a cartoon.

    Ford could have easily NOT come out with it so kudos to them for tackling the supercar genre once again. Maybe they should have named it the 'Gurney' or 'Foyt' instead.

    Ford GT is much better looking than the LaFerrari.

    Looks fantastic, IMO. Sort of something in between the 458 and LaF.

    The more competition, the better it is for us consumers.

    Regardless, after watching Ford GT Gen 1 car prices going through the roof recently, I think Ford got the message.

    If they race it at Le Mans, all the better. :)

    You don't like it. We get it.

    Why you feel the need to keep repeating that is beyond me.

    Funny I thought this was America. I didn't know we were posting in North Korea.

    Wait. I changed my mind. I like it now. Can I post that I like it 100 times or is that against the rules?

    I don't care what anyone says. I see no ferrari in this car at all. Also with the "it's a ford" comment, your right. I'm sure enzo and his team was also saying that before they couldn't win another LeMans race because of it. Say what you want, but the prancing horse silencer has returned.
