Still in the celebratory mode, Ford adds some special edition GTs for the 2006 year to commemorate the original GT40's winning performance in the 1966, '68, and '69 Le Mans endurance races. The two-seater supercar coupe features a mid-mounted 5.4-liter, 550-hp DOHC V8 and six-speed manual, and sits on 18-inch and 19-inch alloy wheels. Low to the ground, but 18 inches longer than the original GT40, the 2006 Ford GT features more legroom, but only 1 cubic foot of trunk space. The interior is wrapped in leather, including the seats, console, dash, and wheel. Power features and a CD player are also included.
The outside of the 2006 Ford GT is adorned by hood and side scoops, a rear spoiler, and a white stripe down the roof and hood. Round xenon headlights give the nostalgic car a modern look. Aluminum body panels help reduce weight, and the hood and trunk open outwards, away from the car. New for 2006 is a Tungsten Silver package, which honors the first, second, and third place GT40 winners at the 1966 Le Mans race. This silver color proved popular in the revamped Mustang, so Ford decided to extend it to the GT. The Heritage edition pays tribute to the 1968 and 1969 winners with blue exterior paint and bright orange stripes.
The 2006 Ford GT is a very limited edition sports car, with less than 3,500 even produced. Its appeal is in its look and power, strong road grip, and heavy-duty Brembo brakes. Gas mileage, seat comfort, and the high price are detractions. Some owners wish the stripe was optional.
What owners say
"Overall, owners are extremely impressed with the 2006 Ford GT for its incredible performance and striking design, often describing it as an exhilarating experience to drive. They love its powerful acceleration and the thrilling sound of the V8 engine. However, some drivers have noted that for its high price point, the interior quality falls short, with comments about cheap-looking materials. A few reviewers also mentioned concerns about its competition, particularly feeling that other cars might outperform it in speed."

July 4, 2010The only Ford I would ever want... I thin I'm going to hell for saying that but it's true. These things performed just as well as the ZR1 Corvette of Today. People just didn't buy them because they were too damn expensive and they were too infatuated with their precious mustangs.
March 4, 2010THIS IS AN AMAZING CAR. I love it in every way. Its fast, very good looking and can leave any car in the dust really. Its a very fun car to drive because all u can hear is a wiley V8 roaring in the front.

September 5, 2009Performed a quarter mile with this in the ford back parking lot. She gets to 100 pretty damn quick, and it was really comfortable to. Although I don't recommend it for long distance journies.
March 15, 2008The performance of this car is absolutely astounding. It's acceleration feels u r like in a time portal going a thousand miles and hour. The cost of this beast is 120,000.
July 11, 2008The fastest most luxurious car you can have
February 16, 2008For starters, I'm not much of a Ford fan, but I was VERY impressed by this car. Everything was top notch. Styling, power, even braking. Just one flaw.. Interior. The second you get in, you know it's a Ford. Plastic everywhere. Topped off with an uninspired dash.

September 4, 2010Bossomest Car I never owned! It has so much horsepower you have to be careful on the highway that you don't sneeze and go over the speed limit! This car has a lot of breaking power also, as it has special brakes to match this beast's horsepower.
January 9, 2010well its good on gas and its a reliable car it will get you where you need to go and it will take your breath away the first time you drive over 100 miles an hour so i'd advise you not to do so.
