A fair test? A real existing F150 production model vs a prototype that has close to zero chance of making it into production.

Wow. The epitome of garage art.

I'm sick for you and the loss of your car but relieved you are ok. Most of us high performance car guys have had an unauthorized off road excursion at one time or another. My ABS system chose to go out on my heavily modified 2001 Z06 Vette at 140mph while braking for a 55mph right-hander...

I have a 2009 911S (997) that I use as a DD with 30k miles on it. I love it. Nimble, plenty fast, just a nice ride. One passenger door window motor replaced as well as a fuel pump, both under warranty, have been the only issues. I have driven the new 991 911 and it is noticeably improved...

I own an audio video specialty shop and have been in the business for 35 years. Contrast ratio and lumen ratings can not be trusted as the industry standards for how to measure these are usually not followed. Therefore there is wide spread cheating on these specifications. The bottom line is...

The orange looks fantastic with the black contrasting color. I wish Ford would have offered this as a factory color option. Congratulations.

Ditto on the GT being confused with some incarnation of a Mustang. Even at the Ford dealership for an oil change, I had to go through two people before I got to a service person who understood what the GT was. When I brought it in it, every one from the service area stopped working to look at...

Sunday, 45 degrees and partly sunny. A rare day in Iowa lately after a bitch of a winter. I had only driven the GT twice in the fall since I got it last October and had forgotten just what a unique experience it is. Endless torque and power with pulley and tune yet great driveability. It...

Thanks.... Thanks for the heads up...

Is your stripe color combo a factory option? Is this a custom stripe or something you can order from the factory on the car? I really like it. If not factory where did you get it?

First of all I have never purchased a Mustang before or even been a fan until recently. Then I bought a Ford GT and started to wake up to all the cool things Ford is doing. Now I am interested in a Shelby GT-500KR. I see that a number of people on the forum have gotten great buys on some...

Beautiful and tastefully done. John

Wow, thanks to everybody for the positive responses. Also thanks for the warnings about fast speeds and cold tires. I already new this but a reminder never hurts.

Hi everybody, I just recently took delivery of a 2005 Red GT with all four options that I bought from Shelby at Elite Auto's. I took a 10.5 hour road trip from Des Moines to Jonesboro, AR to see his store. It was fun to see seven or eight GT's all in one room. He was cordial, very...
