    HAPPY BIRTHDAY Scott Ahlman

    Hey All, thank you much for the well wishes! It was a great day working to help IndyCars go faster. And got to have dinner with Bill (Indy GT) and Jennifer the night before. I enjoy participating in this Forum and the FGT with you all at the Rallys. Vegas was awesome! Take Care, Scott

    The Ford GT... Is Coming Back!

    Yes, we were way off the ramp schedule and 9 units/day. For sure value preservation and replacement part availability are very valid concerns. I am just noting an apparent large downside to these concerns and heavy focus in which any replacement part issues seem more serious. It was indeed...

    The Ford GT... Is Coming Back!

    Production Numbers and Sales DBK and others are correct on what happened at the end regarding the perception of "slow sales" at the end. About half of the cars were allocated to dealers based on a points system (volume, customer satisfaction, etc) and the rest by a lottery. The allocation...

    Can FGT shocks be rebuilt

    No the stock shock is sealed. It appears the leaking shocks heavily happen on lower mileage cars. I believe it happens when the car sits for long periods and the shaft seal dries out and then the next time it is driven damages the seal. Scott

    Rally 9 Participants Only – Special Product Deal #1– Ohlins by Ahlman Engineering

    Hey Ralphie, thank you much for the endorsement - a couple of clarifications. I hate to correct you, but the laser etching of my logo on your shocks is production and there is no concern. All production sets have the same logo. I originally had a set with a machined in logo that looked awesome...

    Ford GT Transmission Upgrade

    10-4. Good info. I am fairly certain I can help you improve it without too much trouble based on your current settings...at ~280 mph! I will send you an email this weekend to figure out a time to talk. Scott

    Ford GT Transmission Upgrade

    HS Stability and Bumps Mark, Improving the shifting and maintaining both hands on the wheel on your very high speed runs makes good sense. At the same time it seems improving your high speed stability and ability to navigate the bumps better will help your safety and speed. I can't...

    Are race car drivers athletes ?

    Wasn't worried about any BUNO at the time! Some neighbors were likely looking though. Certainly a part of courage for many/most includes naïveté which typically lessens with age...and significant injuries. 10-4 on being a RIO. All good for sure.

    Are race car drivers athletes ?

    Ralphie, you lived in a cool place growing up. For sure it was surprising hearing people complaining. I agree. I witnessed the sound and sight of freedom. Very, very cool. Scott

    Wreaked GT on Cranky Ape web site

    I was looking and thinking a little, but not too serious since I can't see buying one sight unseen...at least not at that price. Especially if there is a good chance of a bent frame like this one may exhibit. I want one to drive and develop overall as well as future products, so I have been...
