Holly crap, congrats ! You are really out of our league here. Most of us have 20+ years old cars.

I see. Moving with the business or in pursuit of a certain Swedish blond ? What do you do for a living ? Even without taxes, a Ford GT or a 997 GT3 RS will hurt the wallet substantially (if you don´t mind my asking).

The Ford GT is wonderful. Of course, I have never even seen one in the metal. Could you elaborate a bit on how it is to drive. How does it compare to the 996 ?

Simple,I' m a diamond dealer.I have started my business here in Dubai 5 years ago.
It was difficult for me to change my GT3 for the Ford,only because the GT3 was such a fantastic car(can you be in love with a car??).
I made a lot of trackdays with it and it was always perfect.
I have made a couple of trackdays with the GT as well.Simply amazing but totally differentower(550HP),exhaust sound,...Need to have them both...

Diamond dealer ! Would you need a simple pediatrician on your team ?

I suppose the Ford GT does not lend itself to much of DIY maintenance ?

I have spent some time in Saudi Arabia and Yemen. If I had a Ford GT, I would never have driven it in that traffic. Crazy. Does not seem to be any rules at all.

Beautiful car! Although I think you're going to like the GT3 RS a little more

The penalty for living in Dubai is that you MUST have a modern car with effective A/C......lol. Funny part is the RS should still cost less than the GT40 which stickered for less than a box stock F360/430 when it first came out. I hope you have the resources to keep them both.

funny........Michelin doesn't have a plant there do they? lol. I'm sure there is an even safer town in the old German areas of Pennsylvania called Abstinence to counter the town of Intercourse. can't help but notice the multiple cartoon pics of "le coque" below the name of the town......har, har, hardy har har.
