When a front shot if shown of the ford gt, it looks like a probe on steroids.



Much like the above pic

Yes it is similar, also being alot of probes had stripes...Top Gears Ford GT episode was funny, but when the Stig rounded the track, it was a very appealin car..

Yeah, I can kind of see the resimblance. However, I'd take this over the probe anyday, but only if it was gift and it came with an unlimited gas card!!

That would be a big negative. It looks like the model it as adapted from the gt-40. Plus it has alot of power.....a 5.4 liter supercharged. If people are getting 700 hp(streetable) out of a 4.6 imagine what they could do with a 5.4.

Past the fact that I think it's dead sexy, it is, in my opinion, the best car in it's class. I'd take that over a Murcielago or 360 anyday.

Ford musta gone foward and time and stolen ideas from its future self!!!

being a probe ower i would say it has some lines like a probe. but not much, and the probe still looks better than some cars on the road now. i had a 93 Probe and people asked me all the time how old it was and when i told them 11 years (at the time) they were surprised how good it looked style wise. looked better than any vic in 93.

I doubt that's a big issue for the people with the kind of money to buy a GT.

Still very low.
