If Value and Performance were absolute requirements, (and we all know Ford GTs will not be easily obtained or affordable for most non Ford Dealer types in the first 18-24 months) seems like another fun choice would be to have both of these to cover all the bases for the same or less money. And available now:

1. a Nice 289 or 427 replica Cobra of your choice
2. Noble M12 GTO

The Noble sure seems like a wonderful driving car for the money.
Otherwise, if money was not an issue at all, and I had to pick only one, I'd bid up and take the new Ford GT over any of these, hands down. No comparison in my book.

Also, the VP of marketing at Ford said recently there may be up to 3,500 (not 2,500) Ford GTs made in the first 24 months; but for top producing dealers only. So when one of you rich tough guys here on CC gets one of the new Ford GTs, you can give the rest of us a ride in your new car!
