Gary, the engine in Jerry's Ultima is actually a 377-inch stroked small-block, pre-LS series, with an Edelbrock EFI intake. Now he's building an Ultra Light Coupe with a 427 LS7 (Z06 Corvette) motor with transaxle from Audi R8. Marty

When I dealt with Bridgestone factory regarding different answers I had been getting about availability of Scuderia rears, they could not find any record in their retail tire lines. Problem was solved when they looked for OE (Ferrari Enzo) tires. The factory has them listed as Original Equipment...

I'd like to wish my GT Forum friends and GT enthusiasts a Merry Christmas and Happy & Healthy New Year. I would be remiss if I didn't send a big shout-out to Seinfeld devotees who are celebrating Festivus, The Festival For The Rest Of Us! Marty Schorr

I had a problem posting the photo. Here goes again.

GT Forum guys Gary Jean, back to camera, and Howard Mintz, right, educate the "great unwashed" on the virtues of GT ownership at today's Sarasota Cafe Racers Holiday lunch. One of our Newbies, Jim Padilla, former President & COO, Ford Motor Company during the GT program, broke bread with us...

Great shots, Gary. I know you didn't take them with your phone! makes me feel like I was there, Marty

Haven't had opportunity to drive at high speeds yet. On local roads at 50 and under, tires were softer riding than OE Goodyears and quieter. Could balance weights have shifted, etc? Bring 'em back!

Bridgestone Tire Swap Just wanted to register my vote for swapping to Bridgestone Potenza tires on my Tungsten GT. Tied changing tires all around to piece I just published on the Car Guy Chronicles. Thanks to suggestions from Forum members and their experiences. I don't track my GT, but...

You can ask him at lunch one day. You can buy the St. Elmo shrimp cocktail sauce, available via Internet, mail. It is the most powerful sauce on the planet. Always have one in my fridge! Marty

Ford GT owners have good taste. File this under, America's Supercar at America's Steakhouse! My pal, Sarasota Cafe Racer and owner of one of the top steak restaurants in the country, St. Elmo Steak House, snapped this outside his landmark Indianapolis eatery Sunday evening. Had to share since...

The Cobra, an ERA build to replicate the last FIA Cobra built (no trunk extension for luggage and side exhausts) is owned by Joe Angeleri who bought a real Shelby slab side 289 Cobra when new from Gotham Ford (NYC) and sold it almost two years ago. It had won every possible Shelby Club award...

Wow! Now I'll have to buy a saddle. Then probably would need a horse. Then probably will be thrown out of my apartment building! Marty

Finally got the saddle bag, but alas only a carry strap, can't seem to find any carrying handle! Very nice, however, Marty

I totally agree. It's the same as an autographed book that's signed to someone. It's only worth something to that person. An author-signed first edition of a book often brings a premium, not so when it's signed to another person. Since Carroll signed so many things over so many years, not sure...

Here goes: http://www.fordgtparts.com/servlet/the-65/Ford-GT-Saddle-Bag/Detail Just ordered one, MartynL

Thanks, will get one.

Any comments? I posted it to find out about it, if it has a carrying handle as well as a strap?

Wondering if anyone has ordered a GT Saddle Bag from Ford GT Parts? Would like to hear any comments, and if the bag has a carrying handle as well as carrying trip. Sounds really neat. Marty
