For me, a steal! Having never driven a GT roadster, and since it's a car I'm seriously considering purchasing on the used car market, I jumped all over it.

And I loved it! And it was just the slow, base model, yet I still had loads of fun, especially in the canyons. I actually kept it an extra day and spent the entire day in the Angeles National Forest. Like the GTC, the GT just holds on for dear life. So much grip. Yes, I missed the extra power on the highway, but not in the twisties. And again, for relatively cheap, the base GT can jump to 600hp and the GTS and GTR can jump to 700hp. PLENTY.

and yes, jstein, I agree, I think the roadster actually looks better than the coupe. I drove ALL 600 of my available Turo miles, returning it having used exactly 600 miles. The owner couldn't believe that I didn't go a single mile over (or under).
I seriously need to get back to the west coast to enjoy some nice twisty mountain roads, sounds like an awesome time.

Also, I think your photos are broken or something.
