    Clarification of production numbers?

    By open-ended I didn't mean long-term as nobody produces under that mind-set, I just meant unknown length. Thanks for replying it's so nice to come back and see so many recognizable personas again who kept their cars over the years just as I never gave up '06 #1915. -Rod

    Clarification of production numbers?

    I have to aplogize should I be asking a question that most already know.... In reading the Ford announcements I was under the impression we were talking a fixed 500 production run, however in re-reading the release noticed that current application window is for 500 / the first 2 years of...

    Does anyone have a Ford GT model?

    I've found only 4 manufacturers of high detail, 2 of not-so-great. Auto-Art is currently by far the best but has only offered the limited yellow & red colors plus the 2 Granturismos race cars (fantasy race cars) in white/black stripes & the other in faux carbon fibre...

    2.7 Pulley & Heffner Tune

    Sorry to bother anyone, I'm still exploring this avenue but having trouble w/ the Whipple pulley pricing.... http://www.whipplesuperchargers.com/product.asp?ProdID=1224 Is there another pulley that we are supposed to use for the stock snout that's more expensive? My math yields $520 w/ a...

    Smaller belt required for 2.7 pulley?

    Thanks for the response guys, Whipple said it really should be done but I thought it odd that Heffner wasn't offering a belt w/ their tune/pulley.... Interesting though, the Whipple 2.7 pulley is anodized black and considerably more co$t effective.... In the long run - a pulley is a...

    Smaller belt required for 2.7 pulley?

    Spoke w/ Whipple re a 2.7 pulley only & they stated a smaller diam. belt (which of course they sell) is required for said pulley... Am i to assume everyone that did a 2.7 & tune changed belts too?? -Rod

    Ventureshield staining...

    Aahhhh, the infamous Plexus....:skep Now I'm not absolutely 100% on this but back in my industrial design days we we're told that a substitute (or original product) for Plexus was .... drum roll please.... Pledge. Yup, if Novus wasn't appropriate we used Pledge to polish alot of plastics on...

    Ventureshield staining...

    Just an FYI in regards to our Ventureshield performance. Shortly after install we smacked some really large bugs that turned into large yellow blobs at "high velocity".... W/ my exposure to 3M clears in the past which I was VERY unsatisfied w/, the latest & best Ventureshield product was...

    Headlight condensation...

    Thanks for replying guys:thumbsup I'm talking to my dealer in hopes these will simply be replaced, unfortunately, the ventureshield will have to be replaced as well... Funny thing about the service bulletin above - it may have been high humidity due to rain but obviously no sunlight...

    Headlight condensation...

    Sorry to bother anyone, just wondering if anybody has experienced the following: During getting caught in a little rain, turned the headlights on, about a 1/2 hr later made it home & while garaging noticed condensation inside the sealed HID units. The beam pattern was burning off any...

    Anybody catch the GT / GT40 comparo on DGC??

    I'd hate to say it but it does make sense - brand new vehicle titled as something like a '65 (say Cobra) exempt from any crash standards & emissions... made in 2007..... On the other hand, most couldn't afford a real Cobra so.... Rumour suggests they may also clamp on all kit-building as...

    Anybody catch the GT / GT40 comparo on DGC??

    That's too bad - I expected quite a show w/ the usual hard testing. I know they rated the cars in order of preference as 1) race 40 2) spf40 3) GT. What's interesting is SPF40's are apparently never going to be sold in Canada - our government has pretty much killed the replicar turnkey minus...

    Anybody catch the GT / GT40 comparo on DGC??

    I've known Peter Klutt for over 16 yrs now & when we were looking for a GT he kept teling me about a Dream Car Garage epi where they compared an original race 40, an SPF40 & a new GT... Had the calendar marked for Sat night to record for months... & forgot....:frown I know the ranking he...
