If you're looking for a fast car, that my friend is a steal. I have driven a couple and they're beasts. Since they have a fully forged engine and a fairly conservative blower from the factory, they can easily be turned into kings of the road/dragstrip. For example, with a simple turbo swap and some tuning most Ford GT owners get around 1000rwhp. With some good bolt-on mods you're looking at upwards of 1400rwhp.
Here's an excellent video of a simple turbo swap and what it did to the car. CLICK HERE to see it.

Well had the test drive last week in the GT. I have to say I was not impressed with the power and when I left in my CLS I could swear my benz packed more punch (modded) than the GT. That was the only negative .
As far as looks the car is a serious looker. I have not seen any at all in the black color and man did this car look great. The drive is fantastic too. Glued to the road and felt very stable with a low rumble to it.
To be honest I am really torn. My tech said he can put it just under 700hp with a few low cost mods and I think that would be maditory as for me stock the GT is under powered for my liking. And I'm pretty sure with anything close to 700hp and being 3300lbs it would be an absolute rocket ship. I have to decide by Monday.
