Congrats and enjoy your new toy!

Your mom is way cooler than mine. :) I picked up my mom the other day in my 1988 911. She asked if it was the Ford GT. They both happen to be red. I am guessing she wouldn't appreciate a GT500. Plus, she drives 50% of the speed limit. But she does apex and track out for very corner...

The Wall St Journal had an article on the size of pickups this past Saturday (Gear & Gadgets/Dan Neil - "Pickup Trucks are Getting Huge. Got a problem with that?").

Great looking car, and appreciate seeing the "guts." You look just a tad happy in the picture. I bought mine 4 months ago and I still have that grin!

I was lucky enough to get mine in the Sarasota area of Florida. It had a little over 36K miles on it when I bought it. At UF, no on campus classes yet. She plans (hopes!) on going back on campus in the fall. She is taking physics over the summer (with a lab!) right now online. She is at...

Yep, Ponte Vedra. Obviously I won't be allowed to test drive it for you! I'm not an expert anyway, but the folks on this forum are and are very helpful. I have a daughter at UF in Gainesville, so you might see me there on a visit in the red GT. Definitely not to drop her off or pick her up...

Good luck in your search! I am a happy new owner (4 months, put >1200 miles on it), but I was intentionally looking for one with a bit of miles. I don't consider things imperfections, I think of them as "patina." :) Everyone is different, so if you like perfect, get the low mileage one. For...

37,300 on my 06. I've only put on 1100 of those though (but I've only have owned it 3.5 months), the prior owner put on 36,200.

Happy 4th of July everyone. Here's a pic of me taking my daughter's boyfriend for his first drive in the Ford GT today. He's a "car guy" (manual Mini Cooper) so of course loved it. My wife asked what he thought about it after we came back. His reply: "Words can't describe it!" Have a...

Looks awesome. What color is that?

Looking forward to the rally, whenever and wherever it is!

Day 1 (little over 3 months ago), after purchasing it and driving it home 200 miles. Have put on over 1000 miles already. Still can't believe I own it.

Very patriotic color scheme

You will not be disappointed. I had never driven one before I bought mine 3 months ago. (and I've put almost 1000 miles on it already) I sat in one in 2007. Closest I came. Took a short test drive in the one I bought and it was a no-brainer for me. I have a 1988 911 (very long time owner...

Thanks. I am being ultra careful since it is still new to me and learning its characteristics. I track my older 911 (1988) and very respectful of where my wheels are pointed when applying brakes/throttle. That respect has escalated to something closer to "terror" with the Ford GT due to the HP...

I'm new here and still getting used to the car. I've put 800 miles on it so far in 2 months, but I never know what gear I should be in when just cruising. The car has so much power and torque it can pretty much do anything in any gear. What do you do when cruising at 70 mph on the...

I have the Bridgestone Potenzas RE050A. The previous owner used the same but they were a bit on the older side so I replaced them about a month ago with a fresh set. I haven't tested them really yet, but I've used similar Potenza's on my 1988 911 for HPDE's and liked them.

It's going to take me awhile to get use to this Ford GT power, and you guys are talking about adding twin turbos on top? The one I just purchased has a pulley and tune, long tube headers, and Ford Performance exhaust and I am wondering how long it is going to take to get used to it, or to have...

I had been looking forever, most seriously in 2007-2008, then again in 2011-2012, and a little more casually in all the periods in between. When the movie came out I had mixed feelings. I wanted the car to stay under the radar and (relatively) underappreciated and unknown and didn't want the...

Yes, I did. It is evident it was fantastically cared for. I plan on caring for it and driving it similarly.
