This is myt first post on this forum. I think all of your cars look funny. Is it true they are built on a 240 Z platform? I think the white GT's look the worst. The ones without stripes should be sent back to the factory to be completed. I even saw one of these cars with a big bubble in the paint on the top of drivers door. I saw one of these kit cars with carbonfiber side air vents. That really looked funny. Then there was this guy selling these great GT books. He seemed like a great guy. Anyway, just thought I would say hey.

I think the GTX is amazing. My only gripe is that I haven't seen it in person.

Bony, have you been delivering cases and cases of Makers Mark to
Awsum? He seems to have forgotten where he's at.

Been in meetings today. Mr bannister has given the newbie way more rope than I would have allowed.

Dave's married now so he's obviously exhibiting new found tact and considerable diplomacy. :rofl

Took me years! That's my opinion; ..... wifey says I'll learn. :confused

MK2 GT .................... Beautiful ............................... :thumbsup

Do you have pics of the cars together from the back .... love to see them.

Makes the F430 look less desireable.:biggrin Oh wait that's my opinion ... Bony, don't kick my @@5.

wow, the Ferrari does look bigger than the GTX1 in those pictures, must be the angle.

I recall the F430 being taller while the GT being wider when I saw the two parked on Deco Drive in South Beach.

I also followed a #5 Heritage GT on Atlantic Blvd in Pompano when heading to the Steeda headquarters and it seemed awfully wide compared to my rental car.

Nice shots, MK2's GTX1 is one of my favorites so far...

I think, like EP mentioned, the problem here is trying to capture the beauty of the special red paint in pictures.

I will go out on a limb here and say, that I personally did not know what to make of the car when I saw it in photographs.

But, having seen it up close and personal at the Rally II, it is an amazing work of art and beautiful. It truly shines in person, and I think the vast majority would be pleased to view this car.

Well done and obviously an understandable source of personal pride of ownership.

One night at a local fancy smancy restaurant there was an F430 of the same color parked next to my tungsten GT. I was surprised from behind how tall the F430 looked next to the GT. Don't get me wrong the F430 is a beautiful car but sitting side by side it looked like a Taurus sedan from behind..

I too was at a function this weekend with my Tungsten GT parked next to my friend's F430 Spider in red. We had them parked side by side in front of a fountain at the hotel. Pictures should be forthcoming.

I have to say, lots of people stopped over to see the cars. Honestly, the vast majority of people wanted to know about the GT and preferred its more aggressive looks. The Ferrari is a lovely car, but lacks in exterior styling to the GT. To the Ferrari's credit, the interior is really quite lovely with hand stitched leather throughout and carbon fiber.
