i think that it does matter and if you are paying extra money for a car, there should be something tangible that you can identify, as a car enthusiast, that justifies the cost, no budget or on a budget.

when the Blue Devil is unveiled at NAIAS this year, then we can revisit this aspect of the discussion as to why i would argue that car is superior to the Ford GT.

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.
