well i read this thread kinda late so all that GT vs. Ferrari stuff have pretty much been said. in my opinion, the ferrari 360 is a POS ( a POS that i will never be able to buy ) compare to the GT. this is in MY OPINION. the 430 is a HUGE improvement over the 360, and is pretty much share an equal spot with the GT in my list.
now back to the main question. if you would look at Ford's other reasons to build the GT, i think they did what they wanted too.
- bring up the ford's image
- attract public and media attention
- homage to the legendary GT40.
