Re: Does my \"BLUE BEAUTY\" measure up?
Nice comparisons! Still, as nice as the new car is, it's just too big and doesn't have the same edge that the original does. Did you get to do a side-by-side driving comparison too?

Joseph - your car is gorgeous ! It makes the new GT look like an overweight bigger brother.
Nice choice of colour (although I might be just a little biassed) !!
Kind Regards,

By all accounts I have read and heard...the GT is a fantastic sports car. The fact that it's a bit larger and heavier should not detract from that fact. It was never
intended to be a "copy"...but an updated version and they
succeeded brilliantly. I wish I could afford one.

Who is the manufacturer of the wheels on your car?
Also it is a great looking car!

Re: Does my \"BLUE BEAUTY\" measure up?
I love seeing the side by side comparisons of the new GT's compared to the some of the replica's. Somewhere on the site there is a similar photo comparison between a new GT and an RF. It goes to show you how really well a replica, and, giving credit were it is due, the original body design, has held up. People who aren't familiar with the GT40 often think I am talking about a hot rod when I tell them I want to buy a car originaly designed in the early 60's. It is only after I show them some pictures of some well done replica's that they get it.
Joseph, your car looks terrific by the way. You are a lucky man.
Cheers
