    Borla/Ford Performance exhaust

    I had mine lowered as well, using the same perches. I think they said it was 22 mm in the front and 18 mm in the back (not sure on this). The ride quality (stiffness) was not affected IMO...it rides just as good as before. I did notice the car seemeed to handle better, I really think lowering...

    Awesome track day

    Great event. Mind-boggling caravan we had, 10 GT's on the freeway on the way over. I took some insane pictures! Then when I got home my wife pointed out that I had the damn digital camera on black & white mode! The parade laps were getting progressively faster...it's a good thing they kicked...

    futuregtowner needs info., please

    Pros: Outstanding performance, even by Ferrari/Lambo standards. Better accelaration than an F430 (and a Murcielago or Gallard are not even close). However I think the F430 and Gallardo would handle slightly better/more securely. Lots of bang for your buck on performance and attention. If...

    Gauge Death -- That was weird...

    My gas gauge has always read empty right after filling up. Then after I turn the engine off and on againm the gauge is normal (until I fill up again). I never bothered to have it fixed, was waiting for someone to post a message saying what the exact problem is.

    The problem with lamorghinis...

    Well said...it does feel bullet-proof. After 17,000 miles, I've clobbered potholes in this car on hwy 5 doing 90 mph, driving terrible bump roads, daily-driven in for months on end (lots of city too)...I can tell you that this car rides exactly as it did one day one. No rattles, the suspension...

    Radar Detectors

    Valentine works perfectly, always plenty of warning. However It does bother me having stuck on the window, hurts outward vision a bit and I feel slightly foolish driving by a CHP with that stuck on the window and a 11-99 plate.

    twin turbo

    If possible, would you please post or PM me what I need to do to get nearly 700 at wheel? I am very interested. I do have the full Borla headers/muffler installed. Ridiculously loud is an understatement, especially in tunnels. A Ferrari friend of mine described the DB level it as "something...

    insurance

    Gil at Farmers, (916) 983-8808, in Folsom, CA. I pay about $1500 per year. And I've had 2 tickets in the last 3 years. Pretty reasonable. He's the best agent I've ever had. Always returns calls pronto, solves problems quickly. Highly recommended. Hey if you have a GT and you live in the...

    Gearbox shifts hard 1-2 when cold

    Mine is very hard to shift when it's cold (like when I start it in 50 degree weather...anytway that's cold to me). Even after driving for about 1/2 mile, it's still impossible to put into 1st until the car is completely stopped. I don't know the exact cause, but I don't believe it's a problem...

    A Gulf-color scheme GT just appeared in my local dealer's showroom. All options. I'd like to hear your estimates for the market value of the car. I have a friend that may be interested in buying it, but I don't know what to tell my friend as far as what price to ask for. What would a...

    running too hot

    I did some tests on mine to see if I could get it to "run hot". I've had it out in 102 heat, with the air on, in traffic, and it would not overheat. I would not worry about the tempurare as long as it does not overheat (also, make sure the fan comes in of course). Regarding losing power, this...
