I never understood why GT's are even made. Why pay 120 grand for something that no better than a 60 grand Z06?

I don't see the difference. The vette is just as quick, handles just as well, and is of good quality.

#1, It's about 150k, people buying a Ford GT are probably not looking for the best bang for the buck. Being said I'd take a GT over a Z06 anyday. Mid-engine layout lacking stability control, fun times.

Although I'm always a fan of the MR crowd, I'd take a Vette, preferably a Z06. Nearly identical performance specs for half the price and it's 200 pounds lighter

#6, the roof didn't fall off.. just the skin of the roof.. and it was a bad batch of adhesive.. not a design flaw

#11, I don't think it really matters when the GODDAMN ROOF OF YOUR NEW CAR FLYS OFF if it was a design flaw or not.

The GT is exclusive, it's a legend. It's beautiful in every aspect. I would take it over ANY vette.

#5, Lack of a stability control is not a good thing, unless maybe you are a pro driver.
If people don't mind the GT being so expensive, then why do they complain about the nsx (one of the best handling cars and handmade) being so expensive?

#15, age, low hp, lack of understaning of it's appeal, nationalistic car hate, car image, other factors

#15, Lack of stability control is always a good thing. When you have even a basic understanding of how a car handles you'll try correcting it when something goes wrong. You end up fighting the stability control and you die.
Oh, and I still don't understand why the fuck do all these ASRs, ESPs and shit cut off throttle just when you need it to pull the car out of a slide.

Once again, lack of a stability control system is not a good thing. Even a pro driver would have a hard time being as good as a finely-tuned system. It allows people that are average drivers to handle a high-powered car and to be able to drive it in the rain and snow.
Top gear tested a jag in the winter, once with the stability control on and once off. They drove it 70 mph on a frozen lake and tried to avoid 3 obstacles. Despite their best attempts, the car only managed to avoid the first two, which called for swerving left and right, and plowed through the third one sideways. With the stability system on, it managed to miss all three with no sliding at all. On ice. At 70 mph. Sorry, but even a rally driver can't brake individual wheels.

#19, Top Garth also conducted a test with a 2003 Nissan Altima and the car is a totally different beast without it. Granted it was hard drving in town not a Scandinavian Death Challenge.
