JWilly: The FGT has tremendous "heritage" and is true Ford based off Ford's1960 issue which are automotive icons and automotive GODS updated for today. It is a modern supercar version of the GT40 or what the GT40 would be today. Its an updated GT40. In fact the name "Ford GT" is actually the correct and official name for the GT40. The GT40 moniker came about from a press article noting the height of the car. They have always been technically and offically called Ford GTs by Ford then and now(aka popularly as the GT40). The remarkable thing about the FGT is that it is already considered an automotive icon in its own time. There are already several books on the FGT and its heritage.
I myself like both the Daytona Coupe and the GT40 MarkII or Mark I for that matter. Very hard choice but I would lean to the GT40 but then again I don't like the fact the windows don't open in the Safir GT40 and watching Alan De Cadenet in a "Victory by Design" video tearing down a road in an original Daytona Coupe made my mouth water. The sight and sound of that beast was awesome. They are both old school which is neat. The new FGT is an updated more liveable version of the GT40 and the windows actually go down!
