Anyone driving a Porsche or a Ferrari or any car remotely sporty can not seriously be considered a "car guy" if they don't know what a Ford GT is...
Speaking of Porsche owners...I found one camped out next to my car in a parking garage here in downtown Atlanta in his silver Carrera. He said he was second generation German, and his father has connections at Porsche. According to him, the Porsche engineers are "...scratching their heads over the GT". Apparently they are confounded that a car principally designed and built in America can dust off (or keep pace with) the Carrera GT at half the price. True story.

That is funny.
I've often had people come up and go "That looks like a lamborghini or I thought that was a Ferrari"
As if that is supposed to impress us or be a compliment...
Heheh. :wink

My wife and I had just gotten our of our red/white FGT when a kid with a skateboard under his arm walked up to us with a big grin on his face.
He said; "HOLY CRAP! How much do those cost?"
I gave him the MSRP.
He said; "HOLY CRAP! How fast will they go?"
I told him.
He said; "HOLY CRAP! If I had that car I would be dead."

Most common comment to me.
Among people that I know well the most common question that I hear is. Are you going to let Charley (my 14 year old son) drive it? I tell them sure, he can drive it to my funeral.

went crusing this weekend. We were parked on a lwan, little kid scoping out the car, says, what are those on the seats....speakers? just chuckled and told him what they were for, then a lady pulls up to me on the road same day asks 'what kinda car is that' I point to the lower door and she says' Ford GT? is that a type of Mustang?' I say no, it's a Ford GT and go on my merry way. Then later on, I get pulled over by a cop with 7 buddies together in their hot rods, we all get tickets, When I get home, I tell my 5 year old I got a ticket in the GT for speeding. He says, "Daddy, why didn't you tell him that the GT was made to go fast?" I laughed and that made me feel much better!

Another Great GT Moment!
As we were heading back to Portland from Newport Beach last Sunday, we had stopped for gas in Northern California and while inside the store a man approached me and asked me if that was my GT parked outside. I replied it was. He immediately extended his hand to me and said "I just have to shake the hand of the man that shifts that car!" After I shook his hand my wife and I looked at each other and burst out laughing. What a great ending to a fabulous trip.
