How about... Ford GT50 It's the 50-year anniversary of the GT40, hence the use of "50". And Ford wouldn't have to worry about the rights issue with GT40.

Ok. I'm back. I've been asleep for a few years. This car has awoken me. I want.

Hey gtforme, I understand that the cars are only meant to be driven infrequently, I have owned a number of exotics under the same premise. I guess my lifestyle has been changing somewhat, and spending less time at home in the summer, which makes it even more impractical for me. One thing for...

Hey fellow Ford GT guys, long time no see. I've been out of the loop for a long time! Just a quick question for any Canadians on the board who have an understanding of the current Ford GT market. My car has seen limited road time in the last 2 years, and I'm considering selling it. I...

This weekend was the first time I took my GT off the lift and awake from a long winter slumber. I had bought the Hot Buttons over the winter, and finally installed them yesterday. I am really pleased with the look, it brings the whole interior "alive" and gives some nice contrast to the seats...

The one SLR owner is claiming that the FGT he raced "lost" the drag race because he redlighted. The FGT was ahead the whole way, but dq'ed based on jumping the gun. So, that race tells me that the FGT owner screwed up, the SLR owner didn't. Doesn't tell me which car is faster. I don't know...

Hey Guys, I just got another video clip of my race against the SLR722, from someone that was filming near the end of the track. Here is the link. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWig6Qz9OSg

Cool! It was one of my all time favorite days! Next time, better video quality, and with the timing equipment ON. :cheers

Hey Freddy, My car has stock Goodyear's, and I don't know the ET and speed because the track was shutdown at the time we raced. We were allowed to do some passes after there was a drag competition all day. I wish I would have been able to find out my ET and speed. When I look at the video...

I have the Ford Racing exhaust and Ford Racing headers. When you hammer the throttle, it is very loud, and sounds great. But, one awesome feature of this exhaust is that at highway cruising rpm's, the sound is barely louder than stock. There is no droning at cruising rpm, which is inherent in...

Which pulley are you running on your car, and what is the minimum octane requirement? Thanks Texas GT.

If you could only pick one, would it be the Whipple car? Is this a stupid question? :wink

Right now I have the 2.7 pulley, ECU tune, and FR exhaust & headers. With that combo, I dyno'd at over 630 rwhp, and 600 rwtq. A lot of times the car overpowers the rubber in 1st and 2nd, and it requires some decent throttle modulation to maintain traction. I understand that the Whipple...

It seems that it is a fairly common problem for the stock rotor hats to oxidize and even produce surface rust on the painted surfaces. What is the best solution? Have any of you managed to deal with this under warranty? I think the hats on the Ford Racing 2-piece rotors are aluminum (and...

Any updates on this?????????
