I agree a whole heartedly. The GT6 really is a GT, at home on
Interstate highways. (Except that the engine roarrrrrrrrrrs so
loudly.) It also feels larger on the inside, perhaps due to the
accessibility of the under-hatch area. The Spitfire's quicker
steering and lower c.o.m. make it feel more agile. It seems quite at
home on 35mph twisties, with the engine revs going up and down, up
and down, up and down. Life is good.
