    Tire Advice for Ford GT'06 outside US (Michelins?)

    You should be able to get the Bridgestones in Europe as the rears are standard equipment on the Ferrari Enzo. You will likely pay a premium, but they should be available through any Ferrari dealer. You could also buy stateside and ship, I had to do that with Countach rears (345/35R15) and...

    Catch up on the Impossible GT Project

    Yeah, it was mud, not flood. I thought that it was above the mud/water line in the garage or something like that and a camaro/mustang wasn't so lucky.

    So happy that car somehow evaded the flood years ago.

    New Coilover Option

    The 911 vs. GT3 really is the best way to describe it. For reference, I have the front set to 5 clicks from full hard and rear are on the firmer end of the spectrum.

    Recommendations on shops that can install Ohlins TTX Coilovers in S Florida

    As said above, the FGT is the easiest car to install coilovers on. Personally, it takes me longer to get the wheels off than the shock/strut assembly off the car. Just make sure you find a shop that is careful with the car - Curated is in Miami.

    New Coilover Option

    Many sets throughout the country. My car has over 3400 miles since putting them on in late 2023. They have seen the desert in summer, Michigan snow in winter, atmospheric rivers (with SUV's in guardrails), road trips daily routes, girlfriend ride approval, etc. They have also had seemingly...

    Fuel filter, brake fluid and power steering fluid

    Take one off a car with 50k+ miles and pour out the fuel from the unfiltered side. Woof. I've never had a filter failure, but have seen enough NASTY filters to replace at regular intervals, especially on boosted applications. After seeing the before/after flow rates of many injector cleanings...

    Fuel filter, brake fluid and power steering fluid

    I agree with everyone that clutch fluid should be bled more frequently than brakes on FGT. Clutch fluid is easy to boil after a spirited run - anyone running older fluid knows the clutch pedal to the floor scenario. The fluid life is similar to Corvette/Viper, but without as much contamination...

    Michelins for 05-06 GTs?

    Michelin really has a pretty sidewall.

    GTD run sub 7min on Nurburgring

    GTD is fast, but behind its direct competitor (GT3RS) and the GT2RS is coming soon. This is a bit of a disappointment along the same lines of the privateer Viper ACR-E attempt at 7:00 with tire failures and finances preventing the goal, but awarded the consolation prizes of fastest American...

    $100 on a Prius seems like a deal at this point.

    Tips for Swapping Exhaust

    IIRC for FRP: remove tips, remove airbox, lift up and out. But if you have 3 guys, or more, removing the clamshell is easy and gives you more room to work.

    Ford GT-esque Vehicles recommendation

    Best friend has a Speciale and I have quite a bit of seat time ... I would sell my FGT for a Speciale if a no stripe white/silver car popped up. It is the best driving modern era car hands down. Speciale is not the fastest, but more responsive than a GT3RS and still makes drama out of it. It...

    Should've put the Ford GT on top bro

    Would have put the Speciale Aperta on top instead of the Huracan. But value wise between SA, Aventador SV and the others, FGT/488/Huracan would have been left on the floor if it was me. Only thing I can think of as to why the Huracan would be on top is if it is a TT car with a high investment...

    Header options

    Stainless Works stopped offering them and so did JBA. I think at this point it comes down to finding a used/NOS set or making your own.

    Ford GT-esque Vehicles recommendation

    CGT is hard to beat. Some options: Murcielago LP640 - manual Diablo SV / SE30 512M - looks cool, has some weak driveline issues XJ220 - assuming you are passing on this since XJR15, but honorable mention EB110 Saleen S7 twin turbo - kit car'y build quality, but has a hell of a presence Not...
