Scuderia or Ford GT

GT no doubt

 

Find a GT at a good price, looks like money in the bank.

 

gt will certainly give you a different ownership experience...very cool car too!!

 

GT all the way. The Scuds come and go, the GT is here to stay. The GT is way more exciting to own, more comfortable to drive, an oil change can be done at your local Ford store. The GT gets tons of love everywhere it goes. It has the potential to go up alot more than a Scud. Prices have steadily risen for the past couple of years and have cooled off lately, but I'm sure they'll continue to go up over time. It's an amazing car!

I vote Scud. Never driven a GT and haven't followed the market so this is an uninformed opinion but I do know how great the Scud is to drive on road and track. GT always looks too big for our little British B roads!

 

The smart play is the GT. If you decide down the road that you want the scud there will be less downside potential with the GT. If you go scud first then you may experience more depreciation.

 

Do we really know that the GT is a smart investment? When something (stock, painting, etc.) shoots up in value, you have to wonder if you missed the boat and now is not the best time to buy. If we're considering these cars as an investment only, wouldn't the smart money be on buying a car that appears to be bottoming out and has not yet appreciated? Not saying this is happening to the scud, but the CS has begun to appreciate and I'm guessing the scud will as well one of these days.

Aside from the investment side, don't forget that a GT costs a helluva lot more than a Scud. So, it's not like these are two equivalent options.

 

Dave you may be onto something but the GT appeals to my sensible side. Alex above is really doing it right IMO!

 

GT no doubt. Aren't they a lot more money than a Scud right now?

 

No argument here. Best solution: buy both! The GT is an awesome car.

 

There's about a 30-50K premium over the current Scud pricing, depending on the Scud.

As a former owner the GT is a GREAT car, and as ALEXKAM said, it's very streetable, easy to maintain and modify if you're into that. Mine was modified with larger supercharger, full exhaust, fuel upgrades, larger oil cooler, halon system and other little things and made 770 hp at the wheels and still met the aforementioned criteria.

 

Scud is a good car, GT is a GREAT car..

 

May I propose of F Chat tour of Alex's garage? Well done! WOW!!!!

 

Drove both back-to-back.....honestly, liked the Scuderia much better. More of a sense of excitement, more connected, more tossable, better sounds. Made every other Ferrari I drove from then on a moot point.

The GT felt more numb and subdued.

Obviously the value and modability edge go to the GT. Also is better looking outside.

 

+1. The Scud is definitely a better track car (more fun, more visceral and definitely sounds much better). The FGT has significantly appreciated and will continue to increase in value in the future. Also, in terms of maintenance, it is cheaper to maintain the FGT. However, you would not want to modify the car if you plan to sell it in the future.

I love Fords and Ferraris, they are my two favorite marques. You can't go 'wrong' buying one or the other.

However, if I had the chance to get a Ford GT I would jump on that before a Scuderia. The Scuderia is a great race car for the street. It's better than a Porsche GT3 but they are kinda comparable. But the Ford GT is just a special car that is kinda its own thing and it has the intangibles that go with being unique.

Unless you are looking for a track car first, the Ford GT would be my choice.

 

This is exactly what I was thinking. The scud is a good value right now, the GT is floating on a bit of a bubble IMO.

 

I sure like my SCUD i do not think I would be willing to trade for a Ford GT .. and I also like the GT but the SCUD is just so perfect to drive it sounds incredible ...the interior is much more exciting then the GT but with the GT the exterior is killer (most classic design ever)
but you will probably make money with a GT and lose money with the Scud. or will you..
DO not quite get why the GT has been selling for what it has of course it seems like most of them have no miles and that is probably part of the price thing...

 

Scud is a better track car thats for sure the sound and driving factor is really amazing! If you want the value and higher HP then go for a GT.. I went for the Scud, but of course thats just me... the important thing is you're happy with your car Good luck!

 

My GT has the Ford racing exhaust and it sounds awesome! Best sound i've heard come out of a Ford or a Ferrari Now I'm a little bias here, growing up driving mostly Fords the GT was a dream car when it came out. The Scud is a phenonimal car. No question. but for my own style the Ford suits me and it just feels right. No affiliation here; there's a red 2006 GT on eBay also in Canada with no reserve. It's at 190 with a bid, it has a few miles 20k or so but at the 200k or below mark it's the lowest priced one i've seen in a while. Looks like a nice car. I know GT owners with 100k miles + and no issues!
All the best!

This is the GT I was referring to, Looks like they changed the auction format, it started off with no reserve. I'm sorry I got this one mixed up with the one in Canada, this car is in Michigan.
