Leased a 2009 for 3 years. The only thing that I would have changed is the transmission. I got the DCT, just to have and try it. It is fast shifting and very fun on mountain roads...but I am a true manual guy. If I want to go from 5th to 3rd or start the car in 2nd grear, I want to do it...

That is cool. Love the snake emblem lighting up. Also, the sound appears to be much improved.

I have to admit...I really like this car. It still looks like a viper but the interior looks far better. Looking forward to seeing it in person.

Ford OEM BBS wheels with Hoosiers SOLD!!! Thanks

Flylo, pm sent. Thanks for your interest. Scott

Photos Here are the photos of the Hoosiers and BBS wheels

Friends, I have a set of OEM BBS Ford GT wheels, mounted and balanced with a set of Hoosiers. Used but otherwise excellent shape. Will be posting pics later. The Hoosiers definitely have a few days of track time left (I only used them for 2 track sessions...too much rain at our last rally at...

I guess because I like the "rawness" of the Ford GT and Ferrari Challenge Stradale cars...I really like this car. I know it completely lacks the OMG acceleration of our GTs or wow factor....but I like the fact that it is a convertible, has more trunk space, and looks from the rear like a...

Pros: much much improved visibility. Looks like they should have all along. Carbon fiber looks and feels hightech. Works as good if not better in the rain compared to the originals. Cons: a little pricey but well worth it IMO. No regrets.

During this past winter (and only 1 time last winter 2009-2010), where I often had 1-3 weeks between starts, I had some gauges, especially the boost gauge, that did not engage initially upon starting the car. After pushing on and off the ignition a couple of times, it would finally engage...

Front tire dia using the 275 rather than OEM would change from 26.327 to 25.579. When actual speed is 65 mph the odometer will read 66.901 mph. Ground clearance -0.374 inches. Rear tire dia using the 325 rather than OEM would change from 28.921 to 26.677. When actual speed is 65 mph the...

I wonder about the Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar G2 in the run flat option which can be had as 275/35ZR18 and 325/30ZR19 (according to Tire Rack). Have to look back at this thread and see how these dimensions would affect the ride height, odometer readings, etc. But this is a possibility, and...

Hmmm.....what about a hitch rack for a bike? There have been so many times that I have wanted to have both my GT present and my bicycle....either road or mountain...but cannot do it!

Took a drive with the new wipers today. Wow. It is almost like having the seat raised. The outward visibility is much improved. As Terry mentioned, not as good as no wipers at all...but for those who do occasionally drive our cars in the rain, this is a fantastic solution!!

I have attached the wipers and have posted some pics (not great quality but you should be able to compare them). First 2 pics are the OEM wipers and the next 2 pics are the new carbon fiber wipers which, unlike the OEM, really match the quality of the car. Notice the better view out the...
