    How far do you need to open door?

    I have a two car garage (no post in the middle). One big garage door. In it there is a Ford GT, an 11 ft long three person jet ski with trailer, two motorcycles (including a big Harley), five bicycles, and a storage cabinet. Everything fits just fine. I can only get in and out from the...

    How many GT's are out there?

    Hmm... I have a 2006 / #0019. Does that mean 19th VIN in 2006 or 19th overall? I hear conflicting stories about the VIN sequencing.

    GT tires and cold weather?

    Ok - so I'm completely aware to take it easy on the cold weather, but the other day someone told me that driving in the cold actually will damage the tires due to cracking? Any truth to this?

    What is that thing?

    You know, I would've considered it if I thought it wouldn't affect the way the wipers work!

    What is that thing?

    Well, I handed the car over to Detailed Dynamics (thanks Joe) for clear bra ad full detail, etc... I don't have a radar detector installed, but am having one done. I will take a picture of the wire when I get the car back (hopefully by the end of the week). It turns out clear is a lot of...

    What is that thing?

    I have hit my head on the roof - but only once (the first time I got out of it). I know about the grip issue in cold weather, and have been careful in first and second gears.

    What is that thing?

    Well - I got my Ford GT (2006 - #0019) about a month ago. I live in NY and I have to tell you, I drive it every chance I get. Its an incredible, incredible machine. I have two questions about it that I was hoping some of you may have answers to. 1) What is that thing right above the rearview...

    HELP!! Charging / Alternator problem

    UPDATE: Ok - got the car back yesterday. It turned out to be a faulty connection in one of the wire harness which connects to a relay. Drove it last night for about 50 miles. Runs great now! Thanks again to everyone for their suggestions!

    HELP!! Charging / Alternator problem

    Thanks for everyone's thorough responses. You guys are great. I did most of what was recommended (except checking the voltage coming out of the new alternator (don't really have the right equipment). I'm taking it back to the dealer I purchased it from and we'll see if we can get it right...

    HELP!! Charging / Alternator problem

    Well, the battery charges up, and can start the car repeatedly, but when the car starts, the volt meter is in the low red area and stays there the whole time. Battery starts to drain. Check the fuse for the alternator, and it appears fine. It seems once the car starts, it does not power...

    HELP!! Charging / Alternator problem

    Well - I took the plunge and just brought a four-option '06 with 4.5K miles on it (with a new Ford GT spec Optima battery and a new alternator). After driving the car about 30 minutes, the follow repeatedly happens. The Check Gage and ABS lights turn on and then the other gauges fail. The...
