Seriously though, ive only had experience of a couple of GT's. Chris_uk's which was bob on from what i could see. And mine, which had a bit of a hard life but still went well. Eventually the valve stem seals gave in but even that isnt a big job to sort.
Cool little cars. Ignore the haterz

mine was fine, only thing i had to sort was the trailing arms as the bushes used to go in them alot. but i only did that once in i think 2 years.
if you look after them they are reliable let them warm up cool down etc and they will be fine.

Yep trailing arms on mine as well, engine mounts and exhaust down pipe but that was a consequence of the engine mounts being fudged.

Then watch it blow itself to bits if you give it death for ages. 200 is the most I'd go without forging.
