So I finally capitulated and brought my car in for the airbag recall. All seemed to go well and it looked fine. About 50 miles later the Speedo failed. It moved a little at first, but wouldn't go above 20. Now it just stays at 20, even when stopped. The odometer works though, so I don't think...

I'm still getting my monthly letters from Ford admonishing me to get my airbag recall done. I'm the original owner and my car now has 26,000 miles on it but it's never been to a ford dealer for service. I always bring it to Ida Automotive for any service it needs, but he can't do the airbag...

Dear Ford, Thank you for offering me the chance to be eligible to purchase a new Ford GT. I am thrilled that you have the passion to produce such a car. As I still have the '06 Ford GT I purchased new and have happily put 26,000 miles on it, as well as being a serious car guy, and racer, I...

My car started running poorly. It would stumble and almost stall off idle, miss occasionally and felt down on power. It initially showed up as a bad Mass airflow sensor code, but after replacing that the problem persisted. After way too many hours of searching, the problem was tracked down to a...

I just got a significant crack in my windshield. The car was sitting outside in the sun getting a hand wash, when I was done there was a large crack in the windshield eminating from a previous stone chip. I think sitting in the hot sun followed by a dowsing of cold water did it. Anyways, now I'm...

My '06 now has about 17,800 miles on it and just recently picked up an annoyingly loud vibration / harmonic rattling noise that sounds like it's comming from the dash area, perhaps behind the speedometer. It only happens under medium to heavy throttle and starts at about 2,000 rpm. It varies...

I just ordered a replacement set of coil pack covers as mine had become pretty corroded and nasty looking after 3 years. It seems like the clear coat comes off then the aluminum oxidizes. Rather than getting a new set every couple years, is there a better more permanent alternative? I think...

My car is mostly used on the street but I do an occasional track day with it, and when I do so I tend to run it pretty hard. In doing so I have found it has both insufficient engine and brake cooling to cope with hard running on track. I am consequently looking to make some additional...

I'm clearing out my garage and have a couple Ford GT exhaust systems for sale. Brand new accufab cat back exhaust. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=320273514771&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=011 Used Borla Ford Motorsports cat back exhaust. 1,500 miles...

I took my GT to a cruising night at Raceway Park, in Englishtown, NJ last night. Everyone was allowed to do one timed run down the 1/4 mile. I had never run at a drag strip in my life but gave it a shot. I didn't really understand the staging procedure and was caught off guard by the green light...

I just picked up my GT after getting a Whipple supercharger installed at Bob Ida's shop. WOW!! I am seriously impressed. That thing is brutally fast now. It does require a very sensitive right foot, and you better make sure it's pointed where you want to go when you open it up because you will...

Does anybody know of any brake pads more suitable to track use for the Ford GT? I took mine to Watkins Glen and found the brakes started fading after about 8 hot laps. I had already upgraded the brake fluid to Castrol SRF and they were still prone to fade. Has anyone converted the fake front...

Be very careful jacking the car!!! I just messed mine up by jacking exactly in the location indicated by the Dealer Handbook. just ahead of the rear wheel. What looked like a frame member turned out to be a plastic or composite piece that buckled & now I need to replace a bent under panel and...

Does anyone know how to get touch up paint for a 2006 Midnight Blue w white stripes? I need both the blue and the white. Thanks.

I bought my GT as a replacement for my Ferrari 360 Modena F1 but decided to wait and drive the GT to really make sure I prefer it to the 360 before making a move to sell the 360. Well, the GT arrived Saturday morning. I must say it was even more awe inspiring in person as it rolled off the...
