probably you're correct.

From his July Popular Mechanics article:
http://www.popularmechanics.com/auto...her_have_ford/
" To me, the Ford GT has the cleanest, sexiest, most attractive lines of any GT-type race car. It has the elements of a race car and the elements of a street car, all built into it. A lot of these new cars--even supercars like the Ferrari Enzo--don't emotionally move you the way a Ford GT's shape does"
As many of his articles, he loves big, uncommon cars, etc, etc some many kinds.

but in this article I liked more this:
first drove the car at Laguna Seca with legendary Formula One champion Jackie Stewart. He is still such a good driver that you think, "Well, I might as well just turn my license in right now." It's so demoralizing. As we drove, he was saying to me, in his thick Scottish accent, "Well Jay, when yur shiftin' the cor, ya got t'be more linear, Jay. Y've got ta maike sure you do this royt.'' And of course, he's clipping the apex of each turn perfectly--while he's looking at me. He's looking at me and driving the car really fast.

Just gotta love his Jackie Steward words


His favorites until now are:
Duesenberg SJ
Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic coupe
McLaren F1
1913 Mercer Raceabout
Stanley Steamer
Lamborghini Miura
1909 Baker Electric

unfortunately I don't find a complete list of his collection.
