    Got new Penske shocks. Which springs to order ?

    The Penske setup I have feels slightly stiffer than stock to me, but not dramatically so. Definitely no where near race car stiff. I also notice the creaking and groaning more because that rubber mount is no longer there. I had the stock OEM coilover with the T&A sleeve for ride height...

    Good grief, that this is a real monster. And a handful.

    Got new Penske shocks. Which springs to order ?

    Got our spring rates on recommendations from the man who helped design the Penske's and the stock set up, Alex (MR2Race). http://www.fordgtforum.com/forums/showthread.php?2994-Penske-shocks-for-sale&highlight=spring+rate Also, a few years ago I had Steve Millen drive my car for about a half...

    I have Hypercoil 225lb front and 300lb rear on my three way Penske's for the past 5 years. Feels right to me.

    2-15-13 Mullet Ford GT 9.72 and 9.72 1/4 vids

    That's damn fast. I was looking around a while back and was shocked to this run, frankly this SLR had a bad start. I would guess the SLR must just hook up better than an FGT? Surely this SLR weighs more and has less HP. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nss7coRkrT8

    FGT v. MP4

    Therein lies the rub. Today it’s hard to pick just one overall great car to own. At the time the FGT came out it was a solid argument for the FGT to be the overall “One” (no pun intended). I think the 458 and the 12C have totally changed the game. I love the Ford GT for all the reasons given...

    Go Pro Video of Texas Mongrel at Circuit of The Americas last weekend.

    Wow, what a nice looking track! Makes we want to move back to Austin!
  9. Gulf GT

    Any Carrera GT owners out there?

    Great car if your a great driver, maybe one of the best in decades. Difficult to drive fast and smoothly. Can definitely bite hard, but very rewarding with lots and lots of practice. Did I say lots and lots of practice.

    He is the best. I am still pissed he isn't with EVO anymore.

    No Words. The Singer 911

    The Singer 911 is a beautifully executed car. I had not seen this video on the Singer. Reminds me of what Eagle does with the Jaguar E-Type. I love this type of bespoke redesigned vintage cars. Chris Harris is an excellent automotive journalist, maybe the best there is. I think Dave posted...

    Tour of Space Station

    My aunt & uncle both worked for NASA (retired now), and today they sent me this link to a tour of the Space Station. Very cool if you have not see it. http://www.youtube.com/embed/doN4t5NKW-k

    Availability ofRicardo transaxles

    I would assume that Stillen can repair the transaxle. They were trained by Ricardo to work on the transaxle, and have fairly extensive experience doing so. They installed the 3.90 gears in my car did a pretty good job.

    A Cautionary Tale

    That's awful. Have had lots of cars and had to deal with some real idiots wanting to race, etc. It does get annoying at times, I just try to ignore the really crazy ones. Most people are very nice.

    guys who run hoosiers year round

    Been running them year round for over 5 years now, no problems. Even on a light wet road. Put clear film in all areas where it might kick up junk from the road.

    Found a stable mate to your Heritage...

    Would look more appropriate in the McLaren F1 "Gulf" color scheme (darker blue and orange). http://www.flickr.com/photos/22099104@N08/4795864190 http://www.flickr.com/photos/32659528@N00/2674597267
