carbon fiber clutch. That is why it is hard to launch smoothly and get going up a hill and to parallel park. If you live in San Fran it is no fun to own a carrera gt.

Was that "chirp" or "squeak" sound ceramic burn or cut-out of traction control?

+++1. That is heartbreaking, but come on. Why would you let someone use some cheap wood planks with blocks staked in front of them. Obviously an inexperienced flat bed driver that never loaded a car like that before. :thumbsdow

you might not believe me but one day me and my buddies were outside watching our 4 shelby's off the truck and in order to get to our he had to load off a bentley and an nsx. so he gets them all loaded off with a hookdy piece of plywood that he has made for loading cars.so he is going to load the bentley back on the truck (the nsx was loaded back safely), he had the ply wood overlapping this metal lift by about 4 inches. so as he inches his way on the truck the plywood breaks and the whole front bumper smacks down on the metal lift gate. he said that he was probably going to lose his job.i was laughing cause he was a dumb ass.

I was scared when the loaded my GT on the flatbed to take it in to replace the Alternator/voltage regulator. I took lots of pictures and the guy was awesome. He used 2x12's and the front splitter came within a hair of touching but it went on fine and came off fine as well, if you have the right guy and the right equipment.

Clearly a lack of equipment, and training.
I would not admit to laughing, shows your personalty defects.:bs

Reminds me of when I picked up my GT, I was 500 miles from home with a trailer and found one of the loading ramps was missing! So we had to make one from a pair of fold up car ramps and building bricks!! Oh how I clenched when driving up the ramp when some of the bricks fell and my buddy helping me load shouted STOP with his hands on his head!! lol. No damage though so all good! :thumbsup
