Oh, I like the original GT40 better than the GT...it's five inches lower (hence the name, Ford GT is 45 inches tall), looks better to me (the front nose most especially), and have wins at LeMans and many other major endurance races... between the GT40 and Porsche 916 are my favorite race cars of any era.
When it comes to car design era, I think the 60's still have not been matched yet...
