    The Original GT Vehicle Dynamics Team

    The red cart is called a Razor and it is what Vehicle Dynamics Engineers do when they have too much time (and beer). Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKOaF7esBFY and you will get the picture of what it can do. My home airport is 1D2 Mettetal and is quite active and open which is a miracle...

    The Original GT Vehicle Dynamics Team

    Day One

    Hi Ed got her out April 9 and been driving her everywhere. April weather around here has been somewhat unpredictable but that’s life in Michigan. At lease the snow and the salt is gone but the pot holes around here are huge. Getting the house ready for Ralphie and the number 2 GT.

    This damn polar vortex!

    Did not go out too far as there is open water where the ice breaker keeps the straigts open. Somewhere in the white are the towers but never did see them due to the snow from the polar vortex:lol

    Top 10 Hidden "easter eggs". GT makes the list...

    The full story is that Bill Fords car (white blue stripes) was VIN 001 so the right headlamp is 001 for Bills VIN and the left headlight 100 is for the 100 years of Ford Motor Co. Only fully works on Bills car.

    How many miles did you put on your GT this year?

    Finally was forced to put the GT away yesterday. Managed to put nearly 9000 miles on her since mid-April. Drop her off at, The GT Guys for an oil change and some updates over the winter. Asked Rich to put her next to Ralphie’s car so she would be in good company over the winter.

    Whipple /turbo/ pulley and headers

    FBA, I would not count out the Ohlins for street use. First off the Ohlins are designed to OEM standards and intended to be in service without the need for frequent rebuilds. I found the SS-1 and the SL-1 packages to have better ride, steering and handling than stock. For my trip out to Rally 8...
