    Ford GT vs Porsche RSR3 on the track

    That is footage of the 24h Nurburgring in 2009 I think. The Ford GT was the fastest car on the single lap (started from Pole) but the 911 was a better car for the 24h race. At the time they were fighting for position and in no way the GT would have let him by. This is a link to that race...

    UK Ford GT meeting at Brands Hatch

    I think there are about 20-30 imported cars in the UK.... You can see 7 in the pic above (heritage, 2x black, 2x red, yellow). Not that it matters though, because the chance of coming across another GT are super slim!

    3.4 vs 4.0 Whipple

    Having driven both the 4.0L and the 3.4L Gen II extensively I can say that, leaving ALL fueling issues aside (the cars were set up very conservatively in both situations): - The 3.4L is enough to fill that lack of acceleration and push you feel when flooring over 100mph - In reality the 3.4L is...

    Tail of the Dragon

    Did the Tail of the Dragon with both the 911 and the FGT. The Ford is too big and powerful to really enjoy it. Having said that it is a great place, there are lots of petrol heads and it is good fun. The Cherahola Skyway is wonderful, but be careful because you can reach insane speeds with the...

    Wrecked cars

    Having been through something similar myself recently I can really say that the only important thing is that you are OK. Good luck!

    I found it.... Bought my new Ford GT yesterday

    Dan I love the stock wheels with the no stripes.... Very retro.... The only reason I am looking at new wheels is tyre availability. The Goodyears (which I am not particularry fond of) are getting more and more difficult to get, and the B-stone RE 050 are also getting tricky. The new Michelin...

    Will send you the file tonight! I saved them at home. I think that thread you posted gave me the inspiration to ask ADV1.... Their ADV1 5 1 piece is another set I looked at... in deep concave.... The pictures I posted are rendition Carlos @ ADV1 did for me to visualize the wheels on the car so...

    I found it.... Bought my new Ford GT yesterday

    And now some observations.... I went from a car with: - KW adj suspensions - AP Racing brakes - 4.0L Whipple (850 hp on pump gas) - short shift kit - bumper delete - anything else u can think of to a 100% stock car.... I must say that Ford really got it right the 1st time around..... Sure I...

    I found it.... Bought my new Ford GT yesterday

    It had side stripes (but previous owner took them off). I have always like stripes better (on the hood, roof and clamshell as well, not only side stripes), so debating whether to paint them on or not. The 911 is a '74...

    I found it.... Bought my new Ford GT yesterday

    I have been in the GT fold for 5 years... My old Ford GT passed away on the racetrack, at Silversone, last month. It had been with me for a long time and we had great memories together. I used it everyday and it had racked up 30k miles up until last month. This one that I found is completely...

    I found it.... Bought my new Ford GT yesterday

    The AP Calipers it is because the discs and pads are worn, whilst the the ones on the car are as you can imagine new.... But I just found out that the heat shields are damaged and the front calipers are showing some excessive flex so they are not good for resale..... The Whipple.... I think it...
