Finally pulled a trigger. Anyone from FGF owned this car?

Soon to be a new proud owner of FGT checking in.
She scored perfect 10+ from recent PPI and I can't express how excited I am.
The car was originally bought in GA then the 2nd owner from TX had it since 1400mi.
Did anyone from FGF own it previously?

Pretty sure that was SW's own car, the guy that owns the dealership. Or at least I remember seeing he had a red car with those wheels on it.

Beat me to it. Yup, looks like his car and it's his name as the contact. Although I thought he put a TT setup on it? Probably mixing it up with one of his other multitude of cars.

Yeah, SW is the owner of the dealer but the car isn't his 05 TT FGT.
Was told the car was recently upgraded with whipple, penske and HRE

couldve been TT in past. may want leak down just to be sure? My car came as "stock" but turns out it had catalytic converter wrap, a fuel pressure gauge in eengine bay and a bung welded for a wideband. SMelled suspiciously like heavily modded to me..

As far as I know, the car was in stock form most of the part then recently added with whipple.
I doubt it was previously TTed but who knows.

Thanks, didn't know the car has a short throw shifter.

That was indeed a first upgrade I was planning on getting, then new keys, then kipwing nav....

Looks like SW's car. His was putting out 1,000HP on race fuel, and was TT'd. Super guy. Bought my GT from him, was previously owned by a friend of his. I've got all the service records, and stock parts, hang tags, and was a promised!!!

I thought SW's red TT FGT was 2005 and this is 2006?? I was told the one I'm buying is his friend's car. I made an offer on his red TT FGT too but he won't be selling it anytime soon.

I'm quite sure that it's not SW's car after looking at it. I just recognized the wheels and the color and immediately thought that was it because it was sold out of his dealership. Plus, no way they'd go through the effort of swapping out a TT system for a Whipple just to sell it.
