You have great taste! Excellent cars both. And yes they are keepers. I felt the same about the CGT/F40. Lost the F40 to marriage and the CGT to a massive wreck. Drive them and enjoy them in good health! Congrats!! Best Josh PS I'd like to get a black CGT and a black no option Ford GT. Those two the GT3 and G55 and I'd be all set in my old age.

Hey Daren. Long time no hear. Hope all is well!

Expensive real estate makes my decision for me. Not enough room for a good sized house and a big garage. This ridiculously small detached 2 car is all I have to work with until I decide to raze the whole thing or we move to another house.

Thanks! And whoa! My two grail cars. Sorry to hear about them both. But yes, F40, CGT, FGT are among the best of the analog greats.

Living the dream..

I'm rocking the GT3/R8/Raptor combo. No complaints, but the burn for some proper American muscle never seems to fade. Obviously an FGT is the ultimate goal, but the 350R is so much car for so little $$. Tempting..

Come to think of it, I'm in Houston for work the week of March 11. We should get food/drinks if you're around. You still have the same cell #?

You guys all did it right. They made quite a few FGTs relative to other similar cars. I'm sure we all had plenty of opportunities. I love them but there was always something else on the list or I didn't have space or I surpassed my self imposed car limit. However when a black zero option FGT (my dream spec) found its way to eBay I passed for some insane reason. I want to flog myself for passing. I still remember the first pic in the eBay listing, it's burned in my brain. Easily better looking than the CGT or F40. In fact I have trouble thinking of a better overall package. Love it love it.....JBO

Hey, big congrats! We have the same color combo (Carrara White/Gold) and it's definitely uncommon to see. I'm not biased in the least when I say I fee that it's the best 'standard' combo out there. Love your garage bud!
