    Sorry if I cannot express myself correctly, but I don't know English as good as I want, so my answers will probably be the same in many cases.

    I’m not a fan of the paint/decal job, or the rims. The rest of it, including that ridiculous rear wing, I like. Someone should paint it matt-black, rims and all. That’s what the cool kids are doing these days…

    Nah, I'm cool with the package. How can a Ford GT look bad?

    Maybe in pink, but it's probably the only product from Ford that I approve of.

    the original GT40 had negative downforce.....does this wing finally cure the problem?

    I own a Focus SVT. I approve of it too. Ford are actually very good at designing and developing suspensions systems.

    I still think it would look BETTER in matt-black.

    And what are your other two wishes? (Okay, the wheels aren't black, but to get our deluxe package, you should have upgraded to the premium lamp)

    Heh, I dunno, the Ford GT seems to look good in pretty much any color. Blue with white racing stripes looks good too.

    Matte black looks good, I just don't seem to have the same obsession of it as you guys seem to do lately.

    The Focus SVT is a good hot hatch too.

    I think it's mostly that Hamann and other tuners are all painting their latest baubles in spray-can black. It's just a fad, but I do think it makes a nice change from some of the more retina-seering colors that sportscars get painted these days.

    What is up with that Jag-clone graphic on the side? As others have said, the car itself is nice but they need to horsewhip the guy who riced it.

    What's wrong with good ole metalic black?

    That's a color I'm never bored with.

    Just kidding. Matte black certainly does look cool though. It reminds me of the paint job for the Reventon. That car seems to have a matte grey kinda paint job to replicate the aircraft look.
