The GTM is 2.5 inches taller, .25 inches more ground clearance (obviously as adjustable as
the shocks/springs allow), 4 inches wider, wheelbase is 6 inches longer, and fuel is center
located so no super wide sills. I suspect that cabin is roomier, but over all I bet it is easier
to get in and out of. And it has power windows. I will not argue rear visibility, nor that
it is still going to be hard to see in traffic. But, I believe the GTM would be a better daily
driver overall. Mind you, I will never get a GTM - the allure of the GT40's shape and history
is what drives me.

But, I agree - the Porsche and Daytona are better candidates.
