    A Comedy of Errors

    Bye Enzo, I am sure the car will be fine, stay on the dealer and ensure that every panel under the car is replaced. View the bottow with the panels off and see what you think. I went airborne in my 911 and did 10,000 worth of damage because the oil pan, engine and transmission mounts cracked...

    Edmunds American Exotic Test

    That is a good point. Remember 1/10th of a second roughly translates into a car length at the speeds we are comparing, so look at the 0-60 mph time difference and equate that to car lengths. By the way, I also have a Z06 on order myself because I am a covette fan and want the performance in a...

    front grill

    pictures would be helpful to identify exactly what the differences are. I have a front grill but I am not sure I know what clips you are referring too. Are they on the exterior or interior of the clam shell?

    Edmunds American Exotic Test

    So let me understand this correctly, the Ford GT won every performance related test (except braking but including transmission) but it lost in an Exotics Performance Comparison Test. The word exotic does not mean best bargain, cup holders, climate control design or cargo space. Exotic...

    Am I the only one that likes the "standard' wheels?

    weight: front standard 28 pounds each - 20 lbs for optional rear standard 34 pounds each - 25 lbs for optional Assuming these weights are accurate; I had heard that the formula is for every 1 lb reduction in a wheel and tire combination (rotating part) equates to roughly a 7 lbs...

    Lower Ride Height?

    TexasGT, I am not sure if you read SLF 360's last post. Let me repeat it, "I am sure one can improve the setup of the Ford, re steer in and oversteer behaviour. I think lowering is part of it, should improve bodylean and therefore understeer tendency. But if you lower it on the front only, you...

    Observations on Selling my GT

    I am not planning on anything. However, the GT production is totally immaterial to Ford and they are in tough financial shape so I don't rule anything out. I hope they dont close any plants.

    Observations on Selling my GT

    It will be interesting to see what happens when Ford discloses the full details of its much anticipated, revised restructuring plan in Jan. They will be closing plants and laying off people to avoid a potential worsening of their financial position. I understand that the plan is almost...

    Ground Clearance?

    I have found that the GT's clearance is fairly good compared to other sports cars (my driveway can be challenging). If you could make it with your stock Viper, the GT should be similar.

    Door Latch Question

    I had to realign my rear shell. It did not have the proper clearances around the edges. It works well now and the re-alignment was easy.
