As far is i can see the handling schould be very decent.
The suspension and handling can take the power and torque and other forces very good.

They have some very interesting options like carbon fibre aero package.
You can get semi competion suspension alignment.
I only want to order it whit then funtional and lighter stuff not useless rubbish that makes it to damm heavy.

you guys do know that Kip was responsible for the GTX1; ford commishoned it to that company in Wisconson. I've seen that GT many many times... and will eventually have it on an update of www.nthimage.com

actually, it is already in it in the Ford GT rally page

As you can see, there are more then just a few people who have had the conversion done.

I've gotten to ride i a stock one. The thing handles like its on rails and is fast enough.
It is questionable that they even made this one, too many people with more money than skill are hurting themselves and others.
