However I do believe cars you love are a great investment in enjoyment, and overall happiness. Ford GT is a POS and I havent personally ridden in one but im sure the ride comfort is piss poor. It's a model car, nothing more.

You need to check out a collectors auto auction or 2, before you say that "NO" car is an investment.
None of the reviews of the Ford GT I've read, or seen on TV, have had anything negative to say about the ride when comparing the car to Ferraris and Lamborghinis.
You'd probably hate the ride in my Z, or Subafreek's SVX for that matter, but they corner like they are on rails

yeah i probobly should have put a couple IMOs in there. I like a comfortable ride over a stiff cornering car, its always a bonus when the cars can do both.

No, the Ford GT is actually a racecar that happens to be street legal. And no, it does not ride smoothly - I would not want to take it on a cross-country trip. It is not even close to a comfortable GT car in that sense, in spite of its name.....

And since it will go about 200 MPH, I don't think it is a "model" car.

Ok back on topic now about the Subaru-B11S, notice no "9." I hope I'm not spoiling your fun here.

Alright, so while in a computer art class I did a photochop or at least tried to do one of how I would want the B11S to look more like. It is a bit rough around the edges but you get sort of the idea of what I wanted. And if you stand far enough the imperfections get a bit harder to see.

Btw, that fuzzyness along the edge of the hood is from having a hardtime aligning the backround to the car and not me botching up to contor of the hood.

I would have to agree with Barry Z. There are loads of cars that are investments - and I would even suggest that the SVX will be at some point, mainly because so few were imported and fewer are in existence evry day. Just take the 1956 Mercedes 300 Gullwing. One found complete but quite rusted out and in VERY terrible shape just sold at aution for $250,000. A 1969 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is now valued at about $30K, and my next door neighbor just bought a 1965 Big Block Chevelle and had to pay $29K for it. Lots and Lots of examples like this..... The Ford GT will be like this (except much higher prices!!), because of so few being made.

Anyone that can afford the Ford GT can drop some dime for some air ride seats out of a new Peterbilt or Sterling.

My photochopped B11S. Roughly done by done none the less.

Here we have it . the next SVX

Nice job, roughly speaking

I'm just now noticing the split windows.

Bleh. I want the car to sell well and that's not the ticket ):

I think it's a good look.

Notice the hood vent near the windsheild.

Random searching came across this if anyone was wondering for any moment of time:

"Hence, the name – B for Boxer, 11 for Premium Class, S for Sportive – and the marriage of attractive design, outstanding technology and impressive performance."

Not sure how "11" means "Premium Class", though.
