Firstly they are very rare and are noticed by real car enthusists.
I was at a Vodafone drive day on Tuesday with Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup and both of them noticed my car in the carpark. CL even said he wanted one, but was given a 5th GT in black.
The dealer principal of my local BMW dealer came over and had a close look and was shocked when he saw what a great package FPV have created and questioned the price of a M5 at 3 times the cost.
While there is many people who would spend $xxxxxx on modifying a G6ET to try to get a better car, it would never be a F6E, it would only be a modified G6ET.
Well done to FPV for taking the step in creating a high profile low volume build to order car. It is just a pity that they do not allow for more customizing for the intended owner.
Myself, it would be a hard decision choosing between the F6E and the GT-E, but I am happy with my choice as it is the best car I have ever owned by a mile and gets the looks form people who know what it is.

I personally wouldnt give a damn about what others think when theres 20 grand+ on the line for something, whereas something else is a little cheaper and hardly any different.
IMO exclusivity is not worth it, a build number isnt going to sway my decision when it comes to buying new, Ill leave that to the test drive.
