    FIA GT - Brno

    Congrates to the Ford team, great pit stop! I watched the bloomberg TV feed. At least they had announcers this time so it was much more interesting. Romain Grosjean drove hard and made some great passes. Thomas Mutsch did a good job of holding the lead. I hope they don't get a smaller...

    Need To Clean Steering Wheel

    I've used leatherique (rejuvinator oil and pristine clean) and a soft toothbrush on a really dirty M3 steering wheel with great success. I thought I'd have to replace the wheel before I gave this a try. It turned out great, even the red and purple threads holding on the leather got their color...

    Car help,

    Aston Martin V8 vantage. It probably doesn't meet your criteria for holding its value, but it sure is pretty... A quick search of craigslist showed two 2007's in the 70-75 range. It's not the fastest, or most reliable but I bet it rides nice for a two seater. I'd think a 911 GT3 might be a...

    Fuel Filler Fix - solution found and engineered

    I'm sorry, is the GT part no longer available? Not sure I understand the need to mod the F150 part. Is the GT part too expensive or is the F150 part more robust? Thanks for taking the time to post details as I'm probably out of warranty.

    Engine heat affecting clamshell??

    For those keeping the stock exhaust, I wonder if some heat reflecting foil might not be a good thing to add? https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productselection.asp?Product=1838

    Color and value in todays market

    Interesting opinions on long range value. I'm thinking the BMW Z8 might be a predictor of future GT values...a 5 year look ahead if you will. Built in similar quantities (~5700 world wide 2000-2005, ~2400 in USA), design based off of heritage 507 design. Easy on the eyes. Listed for 128-130K...

    Gauging Interest: Carbon ceramic brakes

    Too Much for me. might be worth it in a professional racing series, but not for drivers ed and such. Can the $1K corvette rotor be adapted? I could throw away a lot of those rotors if they got damaged.

    Ten Questions with: Part 2

    Questions for Jamal: 1) As a business case, did the GT make money for Ford? 2) What would have to happen to make a similar business case for a follow-on exotic in todays market? 3) Not sure how to ask this, but do the suppliers contribute development "at cost" in order to be included in a Halo...

    Tachometer Stopped Working

    Does Pollak make the tach? I think they make the speedo. Has anyone tried contacting them? I did some on-line research and it seems pollak is a division of stoneridge. The best links I could find: http://www.stoneridge.com/product/trans.aspx http://www.pollakaftermarket.com/ Hope this helps

    sad FGT day in Michigan..

    I know how you feel. Fluids changed and in the bubble until next spring. :frown I changed the trans oil at 10,000 miles and am really glad I did. There were normal wear particles suspended in the oil, but too much to leave in to 30,000 miles... Seems to shift smoother too.

    10,000 Mile Club

    Just joined the 10,000 Mile club yesterday. Beautiful clear, cool day coming back from from my niece's wedding. Gave my nephew a ride to breakfast, he had a ball. This car is a Rock Star! We lost track of how many times we had our picture taken. Saw a Ferrari Testarossa (could it actually...

    The race car legend lives on.

    Does anyone know the politics of the restrictors? It seems like the BMWs are more than competitive since coming to the series. Are they getting some kind of break since they are supported by the manufacturer? How come the GT hasn't gotten a break to make them more of a factor? Just wondering...
