To me it seems it boils down to your view of the competency of your dealers techs. If they are experienced and well trained GT people, I would surely do it. It needs to be corrected, you will be bothered by it forever, and you'll have to pay quite a bit for someone else to do it out of warranty...

Ditto. I could never do it to my car, but it looks pretty cool. And I really like those headlight washers. 'Cause, they're only useful if the car got dirty, or drove in the rain. Inconceivable. Oh, and lose the orange mirrors.

Well put Chip. And although I too am not an IP attorney, I have been involved in a number of highly visible court cases involving IP so many of the issues have been beaten in to me. But on the personal use front, no issue. My mildly heated remarks were based on an interpretation of certain...

I think a matte black GT would look outstanding but I have to side with my OCD twin - EP. It seems rather risky, and you don't know the outcome until you try to remove it. The hot sun, despite the fact that it theoretically softens the glue, also likely alters the chemistry of it and the wrap as...

Amazing.

I'm all for this type of event, but just curious how it works? Or rather, why do they have a db limit at all? I always thought it was to ensure that they don't impact the surrounding neighbors. But if that is the case, do they need a waiver from those neighbors? Or is it just a precaution to...

Wow, those are truly beautiful.

I'm sorry but I must strongly disagree. Out of print or not, these materials (the DVD, not the car parts) are covered by copyright law. I agree that it is inconvenient to abide by the rules under these circumstances, but lets try this one. I'm an executive in the software business and have been...

Yes, saw this in PH. Best of luck. http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=19987

Bingo, you're right. I don't know why power would be down. I could venture a guess about slower combustion, maybe even incomplete combustion, but don't really know.

You make many good points but I'd still like to hear the details if they're available. These are not so much bad times as they are interesting times for the auto business. Surely all of the historic players are facing the effects of failing the 'innovators dilemma'. Lots of other collateral...

$1.59/gal? Ahh the benefits of government subsidies...

Hmmm... +1. There seem to be a number of relaxed constraints in this writeup. I can't comment on a comparison with any other product but standalone, the pressure/octane issue, the accessory issue, the continuous cooling challenge makes this look like a one-hit wonder. To be fair, there was no...

Looking forward to the test results. And Shadow, stick to your day job. Your 'hand model' gig isn't working for ya'. :)

Ed, No doubt the FGT is the greatest crowd pleaser. And my favorite as well. The Porsche slots in as second. I don't think anything else is in their class. Well, I guess there's a Shelby Cobra. Yes, that's the third of three. Uh oh, this list is getting longer... I feel obliged to add that there...

And please let me know next time you're planning to head down there. It would be nice to meet the person behind the avatar. And, if you know of an opportunity for a CGT spotting there, please give me the heads up. I sat in one at the Porsche museum, have scanned countless youtube videos, but...

My agent said he took care of the paparazzi! But now you can see that ugly Ferrari buildup. :)

Yes, though to be fair, the crowd at this event is quite a mix. Some posers, some who track their cars quite often. But nearly every one of them displayed the look of appreciation in the presence of something as special as the FGT. There really IS nothing I'd trade for. And only one other car...

Yep. It was drool-tastic! :)

I spent an hour or two at the local C&C gathering today. It's a weekly thing in San Jose, the heart of Silicon Valley. Thus hardly a low rent event. A lifetime supply of Scuderia's, GT2's and 3's, Gallardo's, Murcielago, rotisserie'd muscle cars and Lotus'. Last week a pair of Veyron's. I've...
