Thank you for the courtesy. Yes that is the exact date I bought my GT, 8/23/06. Is it too nosey to ask how you know this stuff? I would think the SAAC registrar would have this other than that it is pretty amazing inside information? Are you able to determine how many 06s were built in my color...

Interesting that even the moderator doesn't have this access. Mine is 1638 on an 06 if you have the time? Invoice for the car was prepared 6/12/06. I had thought that was the build date?

A friend of mine bought a new white/blue stripes 06 for 3500 off MSRP in Houston last week. He drove from South Florida to Houston to pick it up so he had the costs of driving there and back to add to the purchase price. MSRP as a dealer asking price is not unreasonable. Never hurts to make an...

It's interesting how much force is required to manually open the door. I stopped turning my key when it started to flex. It's a real leap of faith to grasp that little extra it takes to open it doesn't break the key off in the lock.

There a few new 2006s on ebay right now one with a buy it now price of 175,000 which is ridiculous but most dealers are always ready to listen to offers. All have white stripes I don't know if that is a deal breaker for you?

SoCal Rebell, Both the Viper and FGT are handbuilt as you stated. But your problems will not be similar unless the Viper you are refrerring to is a 1992-1994 which had a host of serious developmental problems like the FGT is having now and for that matter all new clean sheet cars seem to have...

Never said I was a licensed driving instructor or raced superbikes. I have no idea where that is coming from? Don't own or sell Ferrrai's probably never will. Not impressed with current Mercedes cars quality or service. Think the current Vette and Vipers are far superior cars for the road...

You guys remind me of the Corvette ZR1 owners a few years back who went around calling the ZR1 the supercar to end all supercars until they moved on and bought Vipers. Now many of the ZR1/Viper guys have moved on to the FGT with a few stopping back at the Chevy store for a Z06 or two. Not...

Mad in NC, You are one loyal FGT owner. You have replaced under warranty on a brand new car ,the oil pump, main seal and half shaft bolts and you still own and recommend the car? Wow! Ford is very lucky to have you as an owner, I hope they appreciate your loyalty, but somehow I doubt it? So...

Tunedup2aGT, Here is my update I would be curious as to your thoughts? My car was sitting in my garage with the Ford battery tender in the lighter socket or power socket whatever it is called. I came out a couple days later with my 10 yeard old son for a planned daddy/son Ford GT driving day...

BTW Bony,the "several owners" of CSX 2104 as you refer to them who owned CSX 2104 prior to discovering the VIN mix up amount to actually two owners and are as follows. Original owner was Rozella Ruch registry states she was second but Ned is going to fix that for next edition. She kept the car...

CSX 2104 is the actual car as verified by Ned Scudder the Cobra registar for SAAC and the reams of paperwork that came with the car as well as the research I did in talking to the previous owners. The early confusion regarding the car was common because the early Cobra's didn't have the Shelby...

Just got off the line with Ford. They told me to call a flatbed and drop it off at the dealer. Never heard of the field tech program the dealer told me about. Wow what great advice call a flat bed tow truck I never would have thought of that? Thanks Ford. I wonder how much they are paying the...

Called the Ford GT hotline today to ask them for advice on fixing my new GT that has a grand total of 27.5 miles on it before an electronic glitch caused the cockpit blower motor to activate while it sat in my garage in between drives thereby draining the battery and causing it not to start...
