I was driving my Ford Gt the other day and I noticed a strange smell. it seemed like AC compressor fluid but I am not sure. When I got out of the car with the engine idling there is now a strange noise. I sounds like a loose or broken muffler bracket. All gauge showed normal. Any ideas? Lee

Neat That is the cutest post I have seen in a long time. Thank you for sharing it with us. Lee:cheers

engine oil This statement hit the point perfectly. The Gt technicians comments i am sure are correct but why take a chance. Even if the manufactuer "gilds the lilly" and adds 50 cents a quart to the cost of oil who cares. I designed and built equipment that was sold around the world and oil...

Joke Only if we are talking Ky lubrication :cheers

engine oil I suggest you only use the oil that Ford engineers recommend. They do alot of testing and chart alot of data points to get the best optimum result. I suspect they have a list of alternatives or if they change a recommendation they do it from a service bulletin. The rest of us do...

Fgt Karl, i wonderful article and you hit the spot on how I feel. I have alot of sport cars including a 2006 F430F1 and I like my FGT better. Mine is blue like your article picture. Alot of my freinds who have several exotic cars that have FGT's rave about the power and the handling they...

FGT prices I love my FGT it is the best car I own and is better than my 2006 F430, etc. The guy up a block in our development has three FGT's. One he uses as a daily driver the other two he bought as an investment. He is planning to send the two investment Gt's to Japan. His son is married...

FGT charger I agree I like mine. i bought three for cars that I have garaged at home. The lack of a light is a negative. The point needs to be made that most cheap chargers that have a light, only show that the plug in has power. This is of limited use. The real issue is is the connection...

Ouch FGT cost I bought my FGT in 2005 and the dealer was asking $250k. After back and forth I paid $179k, which at the time was the price. I fellow in my development has three FGT;s. I have seen them. Two he bought for an investment. He said he can sell them in Japan for $500k each. He has...

Color of 599 I like the black color but since I have a few black cars I will get the Ruby red with tan interior. Lee

Saleen S7 I looked at one, sat in it and pushed the start button to hear the engine. The problem is there is no dealer that can work on these in Florida. The owner would be required to have it shipped to Denver, NY or CA for service.:willy I talked to the NA rep for Saleen at the Winter park...

Buff out I LAUGHED AT YOUR COMMENT GREAT~ :cheers

Lighter charger I use the three FGT 0.50 amp trickle chargers for three cars, the FGT, Lotus Elise Sport and the Porsche 911 CAB. All of these with good results. I did use it on my 2003 360 Modena with good experience. When I traded it in for the 2006 F430 the lighter socket goes dead when...

Battery removal I do not want to argue on this point because it comes up on some exotic car forums. It is not a problem on most cars. Every so often (at least with Ferrari (360 and the F430) you can have a service light comes on. it normally goes away in 15 minutes. That is very rare...

Still under warranty Your car should still have 24/7 pickup and roadside assistance. Call the dealer they should get it for you. it is part of the warranty agreement. Lee

FGT Sound It may be the car you drove. I think the FGT is a little subdued because of noise reg's. It does have a nice sound. I have looked at, sat in, and started a Sallen S7 and I was thinking of buying one. I thought it sounded tinny. The Ferrari Enzo now that makes the little hairs...

2nd gear My FGT does not do that, not a noise! The car is the best shifter of any car I have driven or owned with the exception of the new Porsche 997. The FGT is a better car only talking shifter. I would call a Ford service rep. I have four guys I know well who have FGT's and they have...

Viper versus FGT I am also interested in the new Corvette Z06 that is supposed to be in the works. I read the factory project name is "Blue Devil" and i have seen HP expectations of 600 then 650 and most lately 680 hp. Lee

Axle problem I have had two Ferraris (360 now a F430) not one problem. My Porsche which I bought in 1999 has been perfect. Hell even my Lotus has been almost perfect and that damn thing is British. This is the first American car I have owned in 22 years. I like it but this type of stuff...

2005 Fgt My 2005 has been perfect so far. You can not do better than perfect! did I mention it is also fast :banana
