We aren’t supercar guys around here, it’s just a fact. It has something to do with real-world incomes and that we could scare most of them off with a Dodge sedan if the need truly arose on the street, but there are a couple that we do pay attention to. The 2005-06 Ford GT is one of those cars. Ford was gearing up for their centennial year and wanted to do it big, and what better way than to use Henry Ford II’s vaffanculo to Enzo Ferrari as the basis for a limited-production, “aw, what the hell” overkill build. It’s bigger than the original, it’s much more comfortable than the original, but there is no denying the GT-40 heritage that the Ford GT showed when it appeared in showrooms. With the supercharged 5.4L howling away behind the driver, it wasn’t hard to get lost in a fantasy of old-school LeMans victory and late-model speed. But the Fords, which originally base stickered for around $150,000, have seen their values rise and maintain. Name one other 11-year-old Ford product that can claim that…that’s why Doug DeMuro drove up to Canada to drive one for himself. Click play below to see what he thinks…
Not sure who the bigger tool is, the reviewer or the owner who let this tool review it.
Want to open the trunk? Use key one hand – lift latch w other, while latch is held up left hand now lifts trunk….
Don’t want to see a hip in the mirror – adjust the mirror out, in fact that’s a general mirror setting they teach you in drver’s ed so might want to learn and remember that trick now.
The seats in the gt’s were noted as feeling firm on first inspection but always reported to be surprisingly comfortable – I can attest. Maybe the aftermarket aluminum hole inserts should be removed?
1st and 3rd too close? Really?
And which Gen Viper are you comparing to?
After owning one of these since new I find the review more comedic than anything – it’s Phil from Modern Family for heaven’s sake.
