Lemming, you keep making this argument...but the GT was developed in large part by Roush and Saleen, both of whom have *substantial* racing experience. While the GT itself has not been raced (to my knowledge, anyway), to say that it doesn't benefit from transfer of tech and knowledge from racing is not quite right. |

one with DIRECT tech transfer or one with dilute convoluted tech transfer? i'd love to make time in semi-retirement to go head to head competitively with people in Ford GTs and i know a Ford GT would fail far sooner than basically the same block used in the C5R and c6r. similarly, i would trust a GT3 under high duress applications, also, far better than i would trust the Ford GT.

The thread is about a decision between buying an RX-8 or a 330i for the pruposes of being a family car. Even if JST or I were to agree with you, lemming, on the point of "heritage", WTF would it matter in this case?
