    Floor Mats

    Yes, I placed my custom floor mats over the top of the OEM rubber mats. Never had a problem and it eliminates having to remove all the glue under the OEM mats.

    Floor Mats

    Tom D, I didn't like any of the available floor mats because they did not protect the paint on the floors nor the paint up the sides. Consequently, I had custom mats produced by Calif Car Covers. Attached is the letter I sent to them if you want to modify my letter. Get them the way you want...

    Does this make my rear end look wide?

    You're supposed to wear it over your mouth, not over your ass.

    The Ford GT Returns!!

    At $1,850,000 it's quite a bit more than twice $750,000. I imagine if you have $750K to spend on a replica, I guess the difference would be peanuts to you though.

    The Bronco Thread

    That looks like it would be a pain to clean around. Probably cut the xxxx out of your fingers.

    Pikes peak or pikes crack?

    What about replacing with bullet proof glass or laminated Gorilla Glass or laminated safety glass like in a windshield? I have no idea how bullet proof glass is constructed, but I know it is thick like our triple pane glass. My bet is it is 3 layers to reduce noise from the engine.

    Sweet GT loves 100 Octane Racing fuel

    There you have it. Don't use: Fuels containing the octane booster additive, methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT). The use of fuels with metallic compounds such as methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (commonly known as MMT), which is a manganese-based fuel additive, will...

    05 Ford GT power loss

    The FGT will go into limp mode if it is having a problem. It will limit the speed to 45 mph. Everything else will look normal and you can accelerate to 45 mph slowly or rapidly. There could be many things to cause it to go into limp mode. Mine had a weak battery. The car would start easily...

    Sweet GT loves 100 Octane Racing fuel

    From what I've read, you'd have to use gallons of an additive to increase the octane level in a 20 gallon tank. I read, don't believe the advertising hype.

    Cool article

    Soooo true Ron. Through the efforts of DBK and Chip this has been a wonderful ownership experience. Without this Forum, most of us would never have met and definitely would not have met the Ford personnel responsible for developing these cars. Thank you, thank you Dave and Chip for the extreme...

    Car Repairs and Road Side Assistance

    Without doing a diagnostic, it sounds like your charging system is not charging your battery. Consequently, when you drive, the engine is being run off the battery charge instead of off the charging system (the alternator) until the battery is too dead to run the engine.

    Finally own a Ford GT...

    Congratulations Doug. I'm with you having the devil whispering in my ear and constantly telling me to floor it. I've been an owner since I purchased it new over 13 years ago and it is still almost impossible not to get on the throttle every time I am behind the wheel. It was sad seeing the...

    Silver stripe paint code?

    I saw recently that the ceramic coats do not protect from rock chips and sand blasting as well as the wax polishes because ceramics are thinner. They said if you are going to use ceramic coatings to use wraps to protect from rocks. I assume a wrap protects better than wax alone, but wax alone...

    Why does the GT40 seem to spin out so much? Every video I have seen of that car seems to barely be in control and constantly sliding around. It supposedly has less horse power (~450hp) than the 2006 or 2017 GTs (550-650hp) and they don't spin out as easily.
