I own a 2005 Ford GT at I bought new in 05. I am glad to own the car and be on this forum. Lee

Viper Ending? Hmm, It bothers me. I do not have a Viper but have been waiting for the new 600 hp to be available. I just drove a new unsold 2006 and was impressed with the handling. The power was good but I really want the 600 hp. I was considering a Lambo Murc to add to my stable. In...

Wonderful writeup I own both cars also. Your writeup is perfect and I do not disagree with one word of it and skillfully done. The only thing that bothers me :biggrin not that you said it but in my case it is true. I have more red Ferrari shirts, hats than anybody should. No jammas or...

Ferrari The modern Ferrari’s are great driving cars, but their “nervous” knife-edge feel doesn’t suit my driving style, maybe I'm getting old. That states perfectly the Ferrari driving feeling. To drive the F430 you have to be up for it. The FGT can be relaxing or agressive. Create post/...

FGT vs Lambo Murc :cheersDBK, while I respect your opinion I do not agree. In South Florida (at least) lambo's are a dime a dozen and few people can differntiate between a Murcielago and an LP640. If you want attention you get a Ford GT as it is more rare (anywhere actually). If you want...

FGT vs F430 I own both a 2005 Ford GT and a 2006 F430 F1. This statement above is so true. The FGT is the first American car I have bought new in two decades. The FGT does not get much appreciation in the exotic car world. I think that is changing as the word gets out! The question on...

F430 versus FGT Hello Chris, I am curious why you chose the FGT over the Ferrari? I am not disagreeing with you just curious! I have to rotate my cars ie each week a different car from storage then start the cycle over again. Your newline about "annoy a liberal, work hard and get rich"...

Lambos Great post and I agree with you. I walked away after driving the Gallardo saying I could own one of these. I think it is a little faster then my F430. The handling is not quite as agile as the F car. A great car and worth owning. The Murc was a very big unpleasant surprise to me. I...

Thanks Junior, very interesting. my next door niebhor has 3 Ford GT's. Two are on lifts and have never been titled and only run once a month. He bought them as an investment. His everyday FGT has been upgraded to 23 psi boost, sport exhaust and a short throw shifter. When I rode with him he...

Car stable I bought the F1 for the same reason, something new. I had a 2003 360 Modena 6 speed and while I liked the car the 6 speed on a Ferrari is not up to modern standards. The problem was the 360 F1 it was abrupt. The F430 F1 is much better. This is my only sports car with an automatic...

Awesome Congratulations on your new F430! Did you get F1 or 6 speed? I own both cars also and I am very interested how you will compare the two cars after you have had some time in the F car. You will love your F430. :cheers Lee 2007 911 CAB 2006 F430 F1 2006 Lotus Elise Sport (#8 of 50...

Sorry to disagree I own a F430 Ferrari and a Ford GT among other cars and the FGT is a better car than the Ferrari. There are pros and cons but the FGT out powers the F car and handling while not quite Ferrari is still very good. The 6 speed manual transmission is wonderful right up there...

Hunter cobra kit I have not driven enough Cobra kits to know which is best. I did sit in a 96 inch Hunter Cobra among 90 inch Cobras. The 96 inch chasis was so much more comfortable then the cramper 90 inch I bought the longer wheel base. My car had 625 hp when I bought it but I have down...

Had same problem I had the same issue on my Ford GT about 8 months ago. Mine was damaged and cracked but did not really look bad unless you looked carefully at the car. I confess I rolled back into a concrete pillar at a car show. The dealer quoted me $1900 to replace the intire piece. The...

I thought you might find this interesting and a data point on the prestige and following that the FGT cars are developing. I have many cars including a blue Ford GT. I often 3-5 times a month gets requests to exhibit or show one or more of my cars. What I find interesting is even the...

I do not do many shows but I do a few for a freind. These are top line event like the Breakers Concourse D'Elegance or Winter park etc. What I find interesting is the organizer of these events always want me to show the Ford GT. He says it is a crowd pleaser and it is hard to find them for a...

FGT vr F430 F1 et al I agree with the quoted post above. I own both cars and the FGT is faster but does not handle as well. The Ferrari feels like a race car with AC, & leather ie perfect comfort. The FGT has satisying but relaxing handling. The Ferrari F430 taunts you to drive it...

Sad I found this video very sad. I suspect this happens alot more than most of us expect. I have seen or expecteed this type of fraud plus others. I have many vehicles and I just bought a another to add to my collection. The cost quoted to rebuild a simple Chevy 327 was quoted at $7000 with...

Exhaust testing I now live in Florida. I did live in NJ and they had emmissions testing required every year. i real pain. I have not heard about that for Florida. The articles make it sound like it is only for the new car to have emmssion limits at the point of sale. Lets hope that is...

Speedometer failure I just got my Ford GT back from the dealer. My speedometer was bad and had to be replaced. In my case the sensor was not the issue. lee :cheers
