Quite simply the best super car ever produced, also the best looking end of.

I'd still prefer a Carrera GT to be honest, but whatever floats your boat!

If I were going to look at something agricultural, I'd look at the Ultima GTR720. Faster, much cheaper (half price?), but still with the big US engine, yet with UK chassis expertise. We all know how well it goes, having smashed the Top Gear lap record, even beating Michael Schumacher in his race spec, non road legal Ferrari.

And while this car is ok, it really doesnt beat the Ultima as far as I'm concerned, and doesnt even come close.

My brother has an ultima GTR 620 and it's not agricultural, it's bleeding uncomfortable and in drivable on most UK roads. Totally different car that is built for track. (My Noble would give it a hammering their too by the way)

The GT is a perfectly comfortable car that could be used daily in comparison. More refined, more reliable, better engineering by far. Not your typical 'Yank Tank'

Crossed europe a couple of times in the GT and apart from (lack of) luggage space it is range rover comfortable on highways, the chassis is very rigid so suspension have been set up to be really compliant... not that it lacks poise on the twisty bits!

Congrats on the Carrera GT Andrew, it belonged to a friend of mine, truly beautiful.
I was the same as yourself on selling the GT, after buying the LP640, only I had my GT for near 5 years. I do miss it.

Never contemplated selling mine but after hearing this even more so... need to make more money to buy others tho

I spent ages studying this one when I saw it, I think it's the only one I've ever seen.

Could be wrong but that's maybe an old picture of my car before the BBS wheels and stripes were painted Matt black, also on a different plate but my car had a few over the years that related to the model

There can't be many black ones in the UK? Fantastic

Fantastic!

I can just imagine what that lot sounded like!

I am pretty certain I'd take one of these Ford GT over any alternative supercar. Even the latest examples like the P1 etc. The GT has classic elegant looks and loads of character. I also like the relatively down to earth nature.

[Gorbyrev]

Strangely drawn to the green one - do like a supercar in an unusual colour.

[leedsutd1]

I like your story and your car, I also don't have any real interest in owning a supercar apart from a Aston (if its classed as a true super car ) or maybe the Porsche Carrera GT (cant afford) but like The ford especially in black

I've got virtually zero interest in your so called "Supercars" but the FGT is the only car in this catagory that grabbed me, maybe because it looks more classic

I've had mine for over 6 years with zero issues, cheap servicing and good MPG

I love it and as for the chap who doesn't understand why someone wouldn't prefer a Mustang or a Viper.....You're bonkers

[MGZRod]

Hollowpockets came over to ours in his one a couple months ago, one of my favourite cars ever and he rolled up in it and I turned into a giggling child (I may have been a bit dunk, too...). I could never get tired of this switchgear..

Made our street look very average!


Complimentary cheesy grin.

I'll have one some day

I was a huge fan of those Matech GTs, shame there was no time to reach their full potential.
When Marc VDS ran the cars, the engine was so restricted that they never came close to win a title, but on tight and twisty circuits GTs absolutely destroyed the competition.

Good old times...

I agree. The Ford GT and Valley of Fire near Vegas are two of my most favourite things! Thanks for sharing.
