Wow! The F430 looks huge comparatively.
No picture can convey how ridiculously good looking your car is in person!

I always thought the scoops in the front of the 430 reminded me of one of those videos of someone making a weird face with air being blown at them.
Maybe free flyer when sky diving knows what I mean.

Sorry the GTX1 wins hands down but then again it wins hands down against anything

Would you walk up to the owner and say this to his face in person? If the answer is no, a) good answer, and b) keep that in mind in the future.

The answer is yes actually - Of course I would not do this unless it seemed like he was looking for a response. In this thread he is posting the pictures, so I assume he's asking for responses and thus I responded. I don't think I'm being rude, just stating an opinion. I'm sure there are others out there that would agree, and many who would disagree.
Noted.
Ever had anyone show you a baby picture? Did you say "well, since you're looking for a response by showing me pictures, your kid is pretty ugly,"? Doubt it.
I have a hard time digesting when people register and two of their first four posts are insulting someone else's car. Treat the forum as you would real life.

I don't think I'm insulting it. I am saying;
a) I love the Ferrari
b) I love GT's
c) I "don't know" about this particular GT because the wheels/color totally take away from the original car. Am I wrong in saying this? They do! This car has a ton of heritage, and it seems to me that the one in the picture is not the same as what Ford originally intended it to be.

I don't care what your rationalization is. I deleted your other post where you said he made his car look like a Corvette. So you registered, and the first things you chose to say were a) what he did totally takes away from the car, b) it looks like a Corvette, which you were sure he didn't intend, and c) " Red and Yellow are neat, but we're not buying Ferrari's here so why try making it look like one".
However you think this stuff sounds, it makes you look like you're just here to pick fights.

I'm glad you're not here to pick fights. People are allowed to state opinions.
I just expect people to adhere to a minimal level of common courtesy, especially if they are new.

I think it's more common sense and courtesy being expected rather than the restriction of opinions. I belong to a couple of car forums for differing marques - owners of cars post pictures of them because they're proud of them. This is when the common sense and courtesy kicks in. If you follow....
A wonderful example of this was on an Aston Forum some while ago, a girl joined and pretty soon she was wondering why she was single. Much advice followed with many offers too. Eventually she was persuaded to post a picture of herself - the thread became strangely silent as we all immediately understood the main reason of her celibacy. :lol
The GTX1 has a considerable pedigree (as far as the both the GT40 and the Ford GT is concerned), the amazing paint on this one is quite beautiful (in my humble opinion).
You're welcome to express your opinion too of course, but diplomacy and tact is always equally welcome.

Perhaps we should start over. Tell us about your black GT and how you came to purchase it.

RSVDHD- It's cool you have a Black GT and are getting an F430. I also have another GT (besides the GTx1) and F430 and even a real Jeff Gordon raced Cup car (among many more cars) 
Variety is good. I respect anyone's opinion but it could just be that you have not seen many GTX1s.
I am not sure the car pictures below looks like a Vette ...but that is just my opinion.
But the most important thing I would like to point out is , that as far as you mentioning the heritage of the Ford GT .....that there WAS a GT 40 MKII roadster (no roof) in 1966!!!!, It looks as close to my GTX1 as an original GT40 looks to the modern Ford GT. You sort of left me scratching my head on the heritage thing...here is a link to a model of it, :

I have a feeling the previous pictures where the first time you saw my GTX1, here are other pics. Enjoy.

The pblm with that candy color is that it just OVERWHELMS a camera's ability to reproduce it accurately. And that's a dang shame.
(I've NEVER seen a photo of any "candy" car that does it any real justice.:frown)

The GTx is one of the most amazing works of art I have ever had the joy of seeing.
Been in meetings today. Mr bannister has given the newbie way more rope than I would have allowed.
Actually a wise ass remark about NSX's earned him a post delete and an infraction. I hope he gets it, or he will be the second owner I have banned.
I think enough as been said.
