I've had the GT on the road less than 1 month. In that time, I've put almost 1800 miles on it. It is almost (but not quite) as fun watching people's reaction to the car when they see it, as it is driving it.
Driving it is a real blast.
The wife and I stopped at the local Pizza place on the way home this evening. A car followed us into the parking lot. A middle aged guy got out and his first question was "Is it real?". I just looked at him for a few seconds, ready to say that it felt pretty real, when he added "or is it a replica?". He seemed disappointed that it wasn't an original car. He asked, as quite a few people do, what chassis the car was on and what engine was in it. Then, he got in his car and left. At least the car looked real enough that he followed us into the parking lot.
Go figure.
