Thank you that is what I was afraid of, I will have to dump my current trailer and get a new wider one.

I have not been able to find the exact width measurements for the new GT but it seems to be relatively wide. If it is as wide as an Adventador I will have to buy a new trailer with 85" inner fender width. My current trailer is only 80" between inner fenders, does anyone have that information?

Ford just made my day, what a wonderful surprise, I could not be happier. The best super car in existence and I get to own one. I have not even looked at color selections or any other options for that matter because I did not want to think about actually being selected. I can hardly wait to...

I have been gone 19 years now and was surprised that Ford is still doing some testing in a fixed surface tunnel. Perhaps it doesn't matter but I thought they would be using rolling road for everything now. Apparently they have it figured out though, judging by results.

Ford had them covered all along, superior aerodynamics, great preparation and a wonderful power plant. It will take more weight and boost reductions than that to keep the Ford GT off future podiums.

Thanks Dave, This should be a very good event, we have a great contingent of drivers and the best people so we should see a win.

IT is really sad to see design innovation and breakthrough aerodynamic technology rewarded with a horsepower penalty. Reminds me of NASCAR where a new engine cylinder head gets an aero penalty if it works. I understand that they want close racing but why stifle technology? I assume there may...

It is possible to add power steering to a Cobra, I used an Appleton rack and made a mount that bolted to the original steering rack mounts. I used a GM pump with remote reservoir mounted on the left side of the engine. packaging was not a problem and I have a dry sump pump along with...

Could not agree more, I changed my tie rod ends on my Cobra to a very similar set up from OEM mainly for convenience of bump steer adjustment. Now I am replacing very expensive NMB rod ends on a yearly basis because they get sloppy since they are teflon lined and the lining wears. The Ford GT...

If any of you with tire failures are using a load leveling hitch that could be cause for concern. I used to carry (5) spares when towing a FF-2000 in enclosed trailer at over 70 mph because I had many many tire failures. When I removed the equalizing hitch I had 0 tire failures from then on...

Don't you mean 3.5 L ecoboost 3.7 is NA? I just pulled a trailer from California to Lincoln Nebraska and back with my aluminum F-150 and it was terrific. It would tow 70-75 mph up all the steep passes in Utah, California and Nevada with ease, trailer weight was around 8000 lbs with huge...

Could you get the Dearborn handling track for a day? Many years ago they let SAAC hold an event there, I ran my Cobra and remember spinning just before the last big sweeper.

Damn you are one brave hombre, fuel boats before capsules, short wheel base gas dragsters, blown fuel front engine dragsters, and then top fuel rear engine with records in all! Bullet fiberglass ( dual prop guys) is right down the street from me and fabricated a front splitter for my GT. I...

I am on my fifth F-150 Ecoboost with the 2015 Aluminum Crew cab. I love this engine, tons of low end pulling power, quiet and great fun without the trailer. I pull a 7800 pound trailer with huge frontal area and the Ecoboost will go faster than I want to go up any grade I have been on with the...

I think that everyone needs to remember something, the car is designed to race in a class and have the ability to win that class. The street version is a necessary evil that is required to participate. Why would they care about allocations, who gets what, options etc when it is not the primary...

The microprocessor drives the gauge air motor coils directly with no protection on the leads for emf generated by the coils. I only checked two gauges but the micro was no longer clocking in either defective gauge. Not saying it isn't power supply related, but could be they should have used a...

It is a race car first a street car second, why compromise the performance to provide room for larger people. Most race drivers are quite small with some exceptions but not many.

Have they developed non destructive testing methods for carbon fiber wheels? All aluminum wheels are x-rayed for flaws, when we looked at carbon years ago there was no reliable way of assuring perfect bonding and structural integrity. Perhaps with F1 wheel and carbon brake rotor development...

I would think buyers at the expected price point would be a little more sophisticated than that. Heavy cars don't stop and don't turn as well as a lighter counterpart with the same weight/HP ratio. If we are talking Hellcats I agree, if super cars all around performance should prevail. No...
