Because it was faster to get into the car during the Le Mans starts.

It didn't have gulping doors for the same reason it did have buttons in the seats- it pays homage to the original GT40.

What about the Lotec Mercedes-Benz C1000?

I agree. As long as you aren't filling up every hundred miles, I think it's ok.

Very good points. For most supercar buyers, good fuel economy is more of a bonus of sorts than a true deciding factor.

Thank you, my friend. It's just frustrating how many times I've had to correct this fact before.

I agree. Like I mentioned, I'm not really too upset with the styling because whether you like it or not is very subjective. In fact, it actually fits in with modern supercars because it is distinctive and striking. That being said, I really just wish it wasn't called the "GT."

While some may gloss over it, I feel that is very relevant just like you. In fact, if we've learned anything from innovative cars like the i8 and the hypercars of the moment (P1, 918,…

So you're a fair-weather fan?

Jay you can change your avatar photo but we all still know that you are a Ferrari fanboy.

Brian is going to be pleased.

Maybe not in those two areas (handling is greatly improved with modern tires) but the GT's steering feel and shifter are vastly superior. Also, the GT is much more reliable.
