I work as a part-time race car mechanic on a race team that runs in the SCCA.
The rich owner of the team drives the race cars and periodically keeps some of his "toys" in the race shop. He has a dark blue Ford GT. Great to look at, but open and shut the doors and it feels like a Mustang. The build quality is not there... The paint and fit of the body panels scream Mustang, not Porsche. No where close to the quality of his Ferrari's.
the 2005/2006 Ford GT retailed for $149,995 when new, Now one of them will set you back $250,000.
Any 2005 Ferrari's selling for that when new ? No there weren't. The 2005 Ferrari 612 sold for a cool $250,000 when new. And the current value is $121,000.
I'll take the Ford.

The 612 is a better car than the GT BTW.
kinda funny how the 2005 Ferrari 612 has lost 50% it's value, while at the same time the 2005 Ford GT has gained 65%.
However great the 612 is, The demand for the 612 is weak, and as it turns out, a lousy investment. I'll take the Ford.
