Taking the 2005 GT out for its run to Canada after being in the barn for 5 weeks really makes you think about how great a car.......some things for newbies if you are lucky enough to own one....
1. After 8,000 miles in 14 days.......always use premium gas.....we did tests from N.Y TO L.A. The fuel cycle runs aprox. every 50 miles or so....
At high speed with the stock set up you do not notice a difference, BUT once you come of the highway, if the fuel is crap, the car will stall in its loop cycle......no codes, no leaks just the computer compensating for crap gas.....One day I will post a report with the GTGUYS from our miles...iM NOT PICKING ON SHELL, BUT FOR SOME REASON,it doesnt like gt's...
2. Until a michelin is invented at the stock size.....Im not sure if it is yet?
THE BRIDGESTONES ARE THE BEST......
5 weeks in the barn, took it for gas and it is so smooooth and quiet.......
3.The shifter on 360 is smooth as butter, smoother than 1314...
All I can say is if the gtguys cant adjust the cables from 2nd gear crash..get new cables, WHAT A DIFFERENCE......
4. Always grease and lube the door gaskets,rubber stoppers on the hood and bonnet.....a huge difference in ride noise and quality........
Last, always keep the car charged, the grounds clean and tight.....so far 360 is perfect and I think that is why everything is so well intacked...
