thing that bugs me about the ford GT is that it's basically a replica with some modern age gizmo's...so besides the fact that it's an expensive replica... it's not even a correct one...

nice car, don't get me wrong, but it's not the real thing
just a cheap way to recatch former glory without designing something new....unlike Shelby who made the Gr1 which does look like a unique design, and it does look stunning ( maybe not what i would buy myself, but still a beautifull car)...

and no , a GT3 doesn't come close to a Ford GT when it comes to performance... on Top Gear, on the same track , same driver the Ford was a good 5.7 seconds faster, now that might not be scientific, but the Stig does go all the way in trying to get the fastest lap out of every car presented to him, and he sure as hell knows how to drive.. this ain't a journalist...
and 5.7 seconds on such a short track , is by no means a glitch , or GT3 coming close to outperforming the Ford GT....

1st Porsche Carerra GT - 1:19.8
2nd Mercedes McLaren SLR - 1.20.9
3rd Ford GT - 1.21.9
Joint 4th Ferrari 360 CS - 1.22.3 - Porsche GT3 RS - 1.22.3
5th Murcielago - 1.23.7
6 Zonda - 1.23.8
7 Koenigsegg - 1.23.9
8 Noble - 1.25.0
9 Gallardo - 1.25.8
10 Lotus Exige - 1.26.4
11 Chevrolet Corvette - 1.26.8
12 Porsche 911 GT3 - 1.27.2

i'de say the Ford GT is closer to the Carrera GT then then the GT3 is to the Ford GT... credit where credit is due...
