That would be the ultimate!!!!!

Honestly the new ones don't really do much for me.  I'm sure they are fast and handle great, but the styling is basically a rip off of a Ferrari 360 Modena with a little Vector AvTech and some other exotics thrown into the mix.  The first generation GTs,, like those pictured, looked a lot like the original GT40s.  They were fast enough to beat a Ferrari around the track (driver pushed the Ferrari so hard trying to keep up it blew the clutch). 

If I had that kind of money to throw round and wanted something exotic I'd buy a 911 twin turbo and have money to spare, or I might even be able to buy what I really want which is a 959.  Though for probably $80k I could get an R34 Skyline GTR worked over to make about 750-800HP and it would probably roast that GT on the track.

Nice! Let me check the couch for extra change,

Once I get done with my couch, I need to check the rest of the neighbors..... which might cause other problems. 

Looks like you have some good friends there RTM. Not everyone will let you drive their exotic car. 


 

 
The owner of the black GT is a good friend that I met working in the EP lab at the hospital.  He took me for ride in it one day and just pulled over and said here you drive.  I have it on video. 

I’ve known the doctor that owns the two for just as long.  When I do pacemaker heck’s at the doctors office the nurse there tells at me the doctor to stop talking about cars so they can keep moving patients through. lol
