c6 zo6 vs ford gt....

[nonovurbizniz]

I'm well aware of the originals and why the new ones look the way they do...

But frankly I think the modernization of the GT is atrocious. I just don't like how it came out.

My previous comments about american enthusiasts also applies HUGELY to the muscle car fans... SOOO many of those cars were just rediculous looking. Def. tons had the power to back it up but IMO the cream of the crop of those are the more refined ones like the COPO camaro, and Cobras, they looked fast but didn't have tons of scoops huge wings.

Don't get me wrong I wouldn't kick a GT out of my driveway I just think it could've been done better...

Like the first "retro" mustangs... I liked them kinda but thought they could've done MUCH better... more like the current retro mustangs... the execusion on those is great.

The GT from an engineering standpoint and performance standpoint I find to be a TRULY impressive car... but the looks just don't do it for me. I thought it could've been executed better.

Well...the thing about the GT is this...it was modeled after an ORIGINAL GT-40. It' wasn't like they looked at an older GT-40 and said "hey...let's do something like that". They took precise measurements and created the car to those dimensions. All of the scoop and whatnot...yeah, they're a bit off for a street car, but unlike many other cars they have a purpose. Each scoop and intake in either designed to keep the car aerodynamically sound or to push air into the engine. It's not like in '01 when Ford decided "you know...we've got hood scoops...but they need to be bigger". That was just gay. The GTs actually GAIN traction as they go faster...a lot like the Saleen S7s. There aren't many riced out factory cars with tons of scoops that can claim that honor.
