We bought, but will not be using, the Ford Racing seat covers. We do, however, need easily removable covers to protect the factor seat, not look heinous and be used only occasionally. There have been discussions of floor mats all the way from pink velour to Pep Boy specials, but I did not...

Received the short throw shift. Plan on shortening the shifter by .75 inches and rethreading the shaft. Wondering if anyone has performed this machining on their short throw unit. - doc

I use my Ford GT: a. Almost exclusively for racing b. Frequent street driving (>5k mi/yr) c. Moderate street driving (>2k/yr but <5k/yr) d. Minimal street driving (>500 mi/yr but <2k/yr) e. Rare street driven, chiefly a collector car (<500 mi/yr) f. No street miles, car is stored and not driven

Does anyone know the code for (and/or has matched) the silver paint beneath the clamshell? - doc

The XM Roady XT comes with a power plug converter as a power supply. Anyone know of an adapter/harness (etc) that allows this unit to run on a hot lead rather than through the power plug? (man, I remember when they were called cigarette lighters...hmmm, that was before cigarettes were found to...

I took the GT in today to have the transaxle replaced. I had hoped that Ford Racing would have the short throw shifter to me by the time the car went in so that I would not have to make a second trip. No such luck. I had already put off the transaxle exchange for two months; I could not wait...

We are officially out of garage space since adding my daughter's new car. Now, we also plan to add an `04-06 Viper vert as a daily driver for me. So, we need a lift. I know most/all of the brands and their comparative (to each other) advantages. The problem is getting one installed in...

For better or worse (I believe it to be the latter), people are gauging collectibility in terms of the market being created by Craig (of Barrett-) Jackson. [I believe that his building a resto-mod culture has created an artificial run-up in the stock prices of these vehicles...so be it]. 4,000...

I am assuming that most buyers specifically bought the color (colors) of their choice. Others may have purchased largely on availability. I was curious as to how many would now prefer to have a different color than that which they ultimately purchased (this could apply to multiple GT owners...

Has anyone come across well made t-shirts and sweatshirts that represent the GT? Thank you in advance. - doc

I would appreciate input from those of you (generally street drivers) with the Ford Racing short shifter. Specifically: a. Are there any aspects of the shifter you do not like and/or would prefer to see modified. b. Have any returned to the stock linkage due to dislike for the short throw...

Concerned about heat behind the license plate that cannot vent, I made this license plate standoff using metric allen bolts, washers and steel sleeves from ACE Hardware. I used Permatex to provide added insurance that the bolts would not back off. This created a larger 5/8" standoff and...

Wondering amidst the cell phone camera tail gaters and the tuner car over-revs if you have had some truly amusing recognition of your GT. On Sunday morning, my wife and I had gone out for a cruise. We were returning to be certain that the kids had not torched the house, and suddenly saw a kid...

Anyone have an unused factory GT car cover that they want to swap for a pair of unused Ford Racing GT seat covers. If interested, PM or e-mail me. - doc

Was wondering (actually looking for testimonials and recommendations) what you drive on a daily basis. In the months ahead, I shall be looking for a daily driver, would like something exciting but also something that is not a major source of hassle ("ooops, time for a $2k oil change"). A...

"Hey, I like your car...my aunt has one." "Your aunt has a Z06..." "I think so, it's a Corvette and it's black too." "Does she like it?" "I think she likes sportscars with automatic transmissions." "A Z06 does not come with an automatic transmission." "Oh...well, it is a black Corvette...is...

There is an interesting story in this week's Autoweek about a GT40 (#1040) that was put up for auction in Paris while it was still fully owned by someone else in America. It appears that there was a (now deceased) nefarious type who had been building clones (and successfully sued) with few...

In the mid-60s, there were roughly a half-dozen players in the American audio industry. They included Fisher, H.H. Scott, Altec Lansing, JBL, Marantz...and McIntosh. If you had the financial capacity, you owned McIntosh or (the less expensive) Marantz. McIntosh had a classy look that it...

Comcast has this innane thing called On Demand (the reality is that it appears as stable as Windows ME once did.) In either case, I thumbed through it last night and saw that they have a five minute Ford GT review which I had not seen before. It is really quite well done. If you have not...

What are you using to clean your rotors? - doc
