Agreed, I spent about 30+ mins driving it on back roads and such, just so much easier to drive and almost does everything too perfectly. The CGT is a superior driving experience and long term values will reflect so.

Which makes me wonder on the new Ford GT.

It's most likely going to have a 6 tt and doubt it will run like the xj220 although rumors have it above 800 hp.

Dealer has my order in but there is little confirmation.

Is now the time to grab an 05 - for whatever reason I do not connect with the new "super cars".

'06!

You won't connect to it if it has flappy paddles.

Unless it has Scud / GTO thud shifts - you may be correct. Double shifting with flappy paddles becomes an art form whereas the 360C you wait n wait but on the track it's a heck of a lot safer and faster.

The MP4 had different versions as did the 458 - eventually both got it to work proper years later the early on buyers paid the price.

Ford would need a lot of R&D to get it right - we shall see.

I have a Heritage Ford GT with 1k miles if you want an 06!

Thanks - a dealer in Napleton offered me a like one for 500k. Told him I could afford the car but not the paint.

I talked to Ford dealer today - hoping they announce a stick.

Impressive unicorns.

so has anything traded recently? price points?

Better buy one now when they are still in the 5's. With the U.S. Economy recovery and a small recovery in the Chinese economy predicted for 2015, by next summer all the above average cars will be in the 6's.

My thoughts exactly!

This one's been at Auto Gallery for a couple months: http://www.theautogallery.com/used/P...d3d3bc331a.htm

When it was listed at Pacific Porsche December of 2013 (prior to ending up at Auto Gallery in 2014), they had it listed for $380k. [redacted] took a close look at it, and noted that there was a decent amount of road wear/tear on the exterior carbon pieces, a lot of the clear bra wasn't applied well, and so some paint was a bit roughed up by road debris, and there were scuffs on the front + rear bumpers. He passed when they wouldn't budge past $355k on the price.

It sold shortly thereafter, and hit the market again in October again, I believe. BH Porsche has it listed at $500k, and Auto Gallery at $530k now.

Last week. Sold was an 800 mile silver/ascot to a broker in England $583k. Not sure if the car needed service or clutch though.

nuvolari612

Afraid that is going to happen a lot especially over the winter - broker obviously had enough room to make it work. Depending on the new owners intentions my guess is it's going to be stored.

I agree with others the 5's won't be around for long.

Pricey.

By the time it gets registered with tax etc will be around 500K GBP.

Will be interesting to see if it comes onto the market and at what price. For some reason that I cannot see why, US cars are worth less than the equivalent euro or UK cars.

Euro cars are available for tax free import into the UK for less than 500K GBP but with higher mileage. However I've just remembered that there is a strange rule about importing a car into the UK from Europe with less than 6000Km you will get taxed since it will count as a new car. So maybe it made sense to get this low miler into the UK.

From the US since it would have been taxed from Europe anyway.
