congratulations and good choice it´s Nr 740? take care and enjoy her by the way beautiful collection

Yes it's # 0740. I'm trying to track down ownership history. I think first owner was a dentist in Washington State, named Kuzi Hsu. Car has 8100 miles but looks like a 500 mile car. Super clean.

Kuzi is pretty well known on some other forums. Some WA members know him personally. What exactly are you trying to find out about the car?

I think he's the first owner but not sure. Wondering if there have been other owners after or before him. I found his old posts on Rennlist with photos of my car. I PM'd him but not sure he's active there anymore.

I don't believe he's active on forums any longer. Maybe F-chat?

Does anyone know what the service costs really are for a Carrera GT? I have read 25k for a clutch and a 4 year service of 8 to 10K. I was told that the motor has to be removed to adjust the valves regardless of miles which does not make sense to me if the car is not used often. To me they represent the last of the analog supercars along with the Ford GT.

I've driven Mousecatcher's Carrera GT. It is a cool car & fun. I wouldn't trade my only GT for it but to have both the FGT & PGT is nice.

PS The FGT is the true old school exotic. It has a dip stick while the PGT doesn't!

I would not have even considered the Porsche if I only had one FGT. Yeah, checking the oil level is interesting with the CGT.

One of best colors is yellow on that car. Good call.

Perfect collection of cars, FORD GT and Carrera GT. My two out of three favorites, along with the Ferrari F40.

I'm very fond of this car and would like to know how it drives. Never got the oppertunity to drive one and an owner told me last night I'd be disappointed with the poor Torque of this car. Is that really as such?

I don't think the torque curve is like the FGT which in stock configuration is close to 500 ft-lb from fairly low rpms. The FGT curve is like a flat table top. The CGT's torque comes on way later in the rpm band and may be a little less (about 400 ft-lb). Both cars make similar RWHP in stock trim. It's the high rev'ing soundtrack of the CGT that is intoxicating.
