porky, and not very elegant in my opinion. I think the four-door looks much better.

a neighbor of mine has a white Cont GT and its an amazing vehicle. the craftsmanship and elegance of the vehicle is second to none.

it is very fast in standard GT form, i can only imagine the thrust it'll have when the Speed comes out.

It only goes 3mph faster.

But the real difference lies in its 0.5 sec better acceleration.
