Might need to bring Hoppy back to boost volume.

Could that be for later 18's or perhaps 19's?

Thank you, congratulations on your new GT, a truly fabulous machine. Great color/stripe choice too

When did you place your order? Curious about order to delivery timing, it seems to have been reduced.

It would be difficult to beat a DC transmission because of constant engagement vs a standard manual clutch transmission even with slightly more power. Computer controlled DC doesn't make mistakes, people do.

Thank you STORMCAT, I agree with your decision ,I am not as particular about the bottom panels as some might be. I can certainly see why it is needed on the painted surfaces as well as the screens. I assume you don't run screens on the track, have you experienced any damage?

Why did you decide not to do under car panels?

Wasn't it implied that ordering a Heritage could delay your order? I just want to get my GT before I die of old age so I will go with what ever is available the soonest.

Here is the video of the run where he clipped a start/finish pylon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnTvAizlQwA

The rear gear is 4.88 to 1, the transmission is a 4 speed Jerico with dog rings and a 2.2 first gear no clutch is necessary to shift. Shifts cost too much time so that is the reason for big RPM spread and high numerical ratio. We ran it this weekend at the Del Mar Goodguys show and found...

A young man who drives it with skills I no longer possess. I would not want to run it inside those concrete walls at any time. If you watch how much correction he puts in keep in mind that the steering is one turn lock to lock. I am not sure my hands ever moved that fast. His name is Scott...

Here is an in car video of the car with new engine on a tight little GoodGuys autox course. You can tell it likes to rev and sounds quite different than the average FE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyZoCYXeOFU&t=0s&index=2&list=UU0CJQuj-tI4J89NccUhpJ1Q

Damn that's tight, I feel much better about my purchase of an 85" wide trailer already although sadly I am still GTless. I would also be worried with the walls so close to the car. My friend had his R mustang slide sideways and hit the trailer wall because the cross strap wasn't properly...

Raj, I remember working with you at B&A as if were yesterday. I only wish I had been involved with you on one of the greatest vehicle programs ever completed by the company. You have accomplished so much in such a short time you should be very proud. I am sure you will also be successful...

So true, you cannot compare lap times from different days with different drivers one going for a record the other just making a test lap. Which car would any of you rather have, a hopped up front engined Corvette or or a rare work of art?

Throttle opening rate vs pedal travel and velocity can help with power down and rear grip issues. Since it is drive by wire it can be programmed to not exceed available rear grip levels at varying lateral loads and speeds.

I always start with the easy minor adjustments, for example 2005 GT's had geometry designed to produce roll under steer that could be adjusted out which I did on my 2005 GT. Ride height can effect more than aerodynamics it also effects the roll axis so whenever making a tire size change I make...

Yes but sometimes that can lead to instability, my 991 GT3 had a similar issue, I tried rear toe, front toe out and more rake angle. Finally substituted 285/19 fronts for the 245's and the car is pulling more lateral G's by .1 to .2. Braking is also better because of larger front foot print...

http://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/reviews/2017-ford-gt-first-test-the-price-of-priceless/ar-AAv05xf?li=BBnb7Kz Easy fix, 265/35 ZR20 fronts to cure under steer and more aggressive brake pads. I assume drive by wire throttle can be programmed to provide any opening rate desired so that can be...

That is wonderful, it really shows how good the aerodynamics of the Ford GT are.
