Interesting introduction... Only you know what is perfect for you.
My view on your situation is that a GT40 is not well suited as a daily driver for a few reasons.
- hard to get up steep drives
- no openable windows
- stop for petrol and you get mobbed
- can't get out of car in a carpark
- little to no storage in the car

There are other issues, depending on manufacturer that may or may not present themselves.
I also think that driving it on weekends makes it feel more special - you won't be leaving it in a carpark, you'll be driving it instead. Drive anything everyday and soon the novelty will wear off and the little annoying things suddenly become major issues.
Maintenance is generally easier than any of the other cars you mentioned because it is a fairly basic mechanical setup that most good mechanics would be able to handle, however although there are some guys on this forum that drive their cars hard and regularly, it is not the normal done thing.

Maybe a Porsche will satisfy your daily demands better?? Really depends on what YOU want.

Hope that helps.....
