Strapping Down the GT There is a good thread for you with some photos under the Tech Topics sticky on trailer tie downs. This link should get you there: http://www.fordgtforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=839

Different Hood for Canadian Cars Not4N has it right - there is no difference in the hood on my "Canadian" car from those that I have seen in the U.S. The only difference is the bumpers. Even the speedometer is the same as the U.S. cars, it is in mph (with smaller numbers for kilometers per...

Here's the link to the Ford site that has the installation instructions: http://www.fordracingparts.com/download/instructionsheets/FordInstShtM-7095-GT.pdf

AZGT: In answer to your question about the '06 cars, my '06 has the same problem shifting from 1-2 until it is warm. I've put about 1000 miles on it in the 4 weeks that I've owned it. The problem seems to be improving although it still shifts better when warm. In any event the problem is not...

Tie downs Used for Delivery of GT's Earlier in this thread GFORCE asked what tie downs were used when the cars were delivered to the dealer. My dealer gave me some photos of my car as it was being taken off the carrier. In the attached photo, if you look closely at the Heritage GT on top, you...

I have a removable winch that I mount at the very front of the trailer and then use a remote switch cable so that I can stand outside the trailer to check the clearance as I winch the GT on. For the few hundred bucks that a winch costs I feel much safer using it to get any of my cars onto the...

Trailer Tie Downs Here is the setup I use for tie downs. I had some custom wheel nets stitched up by Mac's Custom Tie Downs. I've forgotten the lady's name who helped me out but she was great in explaining the options available to me. A real plus was that she knew what a Ford GT was and let me...

Ice Cream in Canada in the Winter The nice thing about ice cream in Canada in the winter is you never have to worry about the kids having it melt all over the interior. Keep the heat off and the windows open. :biggrin

I can only assume that this was intended to be humorous. I've lived and worked in both the US and Canada, and while there are a number of differences between the countries they both have great people and great opportunities for anyone who wants to work hard. I worked in Canada for most of my...

Long Wait at the Drive-Thru ... This isn't so much a comment as an amusing incident. I've had my GT home for only 2 days and already the strange things start to happen. I pull into a gas station for my first fill up and just as I get out of the car, this kid comes running across the street all...

Importing US Car to Canada You might want to look at this thread hhttp://www.fordgtforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1155&page=2&pp=10&highlight=Canadian. There was a point made about US cars being inadmissable to Canada even if they were modified to meet the Canadian specs. Apparently there...

Yeah, my Canadian VIN is 730 so it also supports your belief about the Canadian cars being the 700's. Clax - it looks like my car was watching the tailights of yours (729) going down the line.

Canadian MSRP The Canadian dollar has strengthened somewhat since the price was set last fall, so in US dollars the equivalent MRSP has gone up a bit. I suspect the majority of the premium is for those very special Canadian bumpers that we have been blessed with.

About the pulse quickening - you have to remember that would only be one million Canadian dollars which means my pulse would only increase by about 85% of what it would if it was US dollars ... :wink No film crews that I'm aware of - I plan to take it out under the dark of night in my enclosed...

I haven't travelled the 1000 miles to pick up my GT yet, but the dealer got the local newspaper all excited about a GT arriving in a small town and did a story on my car. (You can read the article in this link: http://winnipegsun.com/AutoMarket/2006/03/31/1513377-sun.html ). In the article an...
