Mike,

we do certainly have many things in common. I am very happy you've posted your experience with the 962. This is my dream car, the only super expensive car I really dream of. Not that I do not like the McLaren or the CGT or the Enzo but I do like the cars rough and raw. Perhaps a used F-40 in my future?

The Ford GT is not tested yet and it does not have any racing linkeage that I know of. Another thing it does not have, is German engineering.
I could stretch my budget a "little" bit but I have to be sure I would love the car. I do like to keep my cars for a long time.

Congrats on your CGT, it is the super exotic "Boxster" we've been asking for. I have seen a black one in the flesh. How about a less exotic, Boxster for us, the common people, who can afford the exotic one

Last but not least, Nick has some good points and I am glad he brought them up. He has a Porsche in his garage and so do I. Means, we do like the brand after all.
