More than cool less than subzero for me. I voted cool. But GT40 would be subzero IMO.

Cool!!

Mainly because it's a good alternative to Ferrari's and Lambo's, but just because of that.

I voted it cool simply because it isnt as well sorted in terms of suspensions or brakes as the Merc SLR, the 430 or the Carrera GT are....it doesnt make me feel as i was in an european supercar; apart from this little disadvantage, i dont have any complaint about the cars shape, interior, engine....except for one little thing; i wish it had maintained the original GT40s size, despite the lack of room

Uncool.
It is still a kit-car replica for me. SZ for original obviously.

Agree

One of the few retro car styling that actually works! The Original GT40 was about 40 years ahead of it's time. That is worth the Cool rating alone, but because of its performance, definitely a plus.

Sub-Zero for sure!

Sub zero for me, this crate rocks - the original even more so. Heck even the kits car versions are SZ for me.

I give it a cool, mainly because i think it looks superb. I think I have only only seen one up close, and boy I loved it. One of the greatest cars I have ever set my eyes on. But still I have never been a fan of American cars, they just apear over the top to me. So originally I would have said Subzero, if it came down to looks, but all round I say cool

Subzero.

Yeah its a replica of a GT40, but its made by Ford, so it makes it ok.

As far as the real ones, all you see now are replicas anyway. If someone has a real GT40 they dont race or show it. They show or race a replica and figure you cant tell the difference. At the Monterrey Historics this year all the GT40's were replicas.

Only thing I dont like is the big ass speaker between the seats.
