When I go to open the front hood the front of the hood seems to be catching slightly on the panel in front of it, it hasn't caused any paint damage but I suppose it could if I weren't careful. Has anyone experienced this? The hood has never been removed or adjusted, just new hood shocks that...

So I'm placing my order this week and really don't know what to do about choosing a dealer? I was told by the concierge that in IL, none are listed as servicing dealers, which in that case leaves it wide open I guess. Did anyone here take delivery thru an IL dealer? Any recommendations on a...

My Application Video I've been a bit of a lurker lately (not as much of a participant) but I decided to do a video for my second application... Then I realized its supposed to be 60 seconds or less... Yikes!!! So now there are two versions... I hope Ford looks at the long one (below), it makes...

Last year I was driving and heard a Pop, then noticed my exhaust note dropped a few decibels. I immediately brought to my office and parked it. Looked in the engine bay and noticed the Pass Catalytic Converter cracked perfectly along the front seam where it reduces into the header. I want to...

Sorry if this has been posted already. But just noticed that Ford updated the NFG configurator and no longer has a Shadow (Gloss) Black stripe option on the Matte Black paint choice. It appears that all stripes now are Matte Finish on the Matte Black car. Too Bad, Gloss Black stripes looked...

Are race red and lightning blue stripes metallic? It would be pretty nice if they were.

:thumbsup Great Read on The Checkered Flag

Took My Wife and youngest Daughter on Thursday and my oldest this morning. I really had reservations about the white, but WOW!!! It's beautiful, crisp and clean.

Thanks Tim for your feedback... I pulled the trigger and bought an '09 Laviolette with 3800 miles, other than the 2 hour drive from Chicago in rush hour traffic, this car is bat shit crazy awesome and my left leg is now extremely strong :thumbsup :biggrin

Hey guys, I've been banging around the idea of buying a Spyker C8. Has anyone here had experience with one (Good or Bad)? My big concern is reliability and drivability. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike

:biggrin It took me two whole seconds to fall in love with this thing. Reminded me of my teenage years and couldn't hold back. My wife and one of my daughters think its ugly, but to me its perfect. I told her its my winter car (PS it'll never see snow or salt). :facepalm: Fully rotisserie...

Heard a very odd rumor... that the first run was already pre sold, under the table, to the highest selected bidders. But hey, Ford has the right to sell to whomever they want, for what they want, but..... Hmmmm. Just a rumor of course and would never be confirmed or denied by anyone...

Just picked her up 4 days ago...

This magazine did a write-up on an in house project my company completed back in May. They sent me an email to review it today, there was a link to a few other articles, one of which was for the new 2016 FGT. Seems pretty boiler plate until about 3/4's of the way thru in which they discuss the...

I've been staring at every available picture sitting in my garage, thinking how aged my GT looks looks now (I will keep it forever, even if I buy the new one), I love the similarities of my '06 to the original MKII. But, while comparing the very few similarities between the '06 and the '16 it...

I'd like to remove my side stripes. Has anyone had experience with this? Can I just use a heat gun and bug/tar remover? Thanks, Mike

I'm starting to think its not going to be a mid-engined GT40 "like" car after all... But in fact a front engined Gran Turismo long distance vehicle, especially if its running the twin turbo 6 cylinder Eco boost. They could easily be hiding a new front engined car under Mustang camouflage. Any...

This is the first time I've received a survey (that i can remember) from Ford about my GT. The first question was whether I still owned it. Seriously caught me off guard... hmmmm.... It definitely has my wheels turning, in a good way. :biggrin

For 2 weeks straight I was able to bang around town. The weather was pretty sweet... :thumbsup Anyone else in IL uncovering and blowin out the exhaust?

Does anyone here have access to the original Ford GT CAD Data? I was thinking of making a 1/4 scale model of one on our Rapid Prototyping equipment. Of course I would sign any NDA's, if it were available. Thanks, Mike
