I have never had the opportunity to drive a GT-6, but I did have the chance to
race one when I was back in college. The kid with the GT-6 was talking about
how he needed to rebuild his engine, but he smoked me from the line and all I
ever saw were his taillights.
I prefer the looks of the GT-6 with it's louvered hood. Mechanically, I think
it is the same as the Spitfire, which I consider to be "unique".

If you're in Chicago, it's the red one with the Union Jack boot lid.
