    Have you ever let some one else drive your GT

    These cars are to be enjoyed and for me not much is more enjoyable than sharing the experience with another person. I have let countless others drive my car, some with me along as a passenger and some without. I must admit that a few times as a passenger I was nervous. The only time I had a...

    Corvette Z06 - can anyone offer advise?

    I have an 08 Z06 as a daily driver and love it. No issues with harshness etc. just a great driving car. I had an '07 and traded it for the '08 with the upgraded interior package, it is much improved over the '07 interior but still would have to be rated as a poor interior. I would say go for...

    Tachometer needle fell off!

    My tach needle fell off also. I had a Ford dealer fix it under warranty, I think that they replaced the tach rather than re attach the needle. I got a look at the repair order and they had billed 5,800.00 to the warranty repair. I ended up with a few light scratches on the dash surround (hard...

    insurance suggestion

    I pay 800.00 per year with State Farm. They have always treated me right. I have several cars on the policy and I think that they are aware that I can only drive one at a time. All are listed as under 7,500 miles a year, and I have no accident history. Full coverage including tow insurance...

    Anyone seen a vinyl wrapped GT?

    Exotic Car Wraps in Culver City has done a GT before. They do a lot of exotic cars for various rallys. I think the guy to talk to is Rami.

    Video Camera mounts

    The little chase cam works pretty well at the track. A lot of the lotus guys use them. I have seen several applications and have never heard of one coming loose or causing any problems. If you are trying to mount your entire camera then you will probably need some other mounting method. Dave

    Video Camera mounts

    I use a chase cam. Had one at the rally and it worked out great for us. Got some good video of the auto cross and quite a lot on the rally run Friday. Mine attaches inside on the front window and is very stable. I have seen other methods used and have never heard of a problem at speed. I...

    GT Service work in Los Angeles area?

    I went to Galpin. Nightmare. Be careful. I do not doubt that they can handle engine type work but do NOT have them do a door alignment, any body work or detail work. Also know that your car will sit outside while waiting for work to be done and will have birds crap on it while waiting. They...

    Ask the GT DOC

    The story went pretty much as noted. I did not see personally the pry bar used but have the aftermath plainly visible on the car. Actually the story is much longer and worse than I have noted. I could write a page about the deal if I had time. They kept the car an extra week which turned out...

    Ask the GT DOC

    Cobrar1339, don't take your car to Galpin Ford for a door alignment. I had an alignment problem, talked to a guy at Saleen in Irvine about it but he was reluctant to have Saleen in Irvine do anything with it as they are not a waranty center and if it turned into anything major other than...

    Im new

    Jennifer, My drivers door (white '06 # 400017) has poor alignment. The front corner towards the car middle sticks up higher than the roof line and the door close to the opening handle is very close to the car body, maybe 1/16th clearance. I have worried that it will hit the car body and chip...

    Tachometer needle fell off

    Saturday my tach started acting funny, slow to respond and jerky in movements. Yesterday I was driving and the arm and connector in the center fell off. It is wedged between the glass and where a pin or something comes out of the center of the tach. Anyone else have any issues with their...

    Thanks Shadowman & lthlvpr !!

    I agree that it is fairly painless to do the install but I did have to lower the tranny. There was no way that it was coming out without lowering the transmission or removing the clamshell. All said it was fairly easy but I did have one helper with me. It is odd how some will come out without...

    Help I am locked out of my GT

    CSX 2104, Take your car up to St. George Ford to be worked on. When I was there last they had 5 GT's there. I only had an oil change done but they did a great job and were very careful and attentive with the car. They have delivered quite a few GT's, an ex ford V.P. has a winter home there...

    Trying to find new 06 in Vegas or South CA.

    A couple of weeks ago they had a tungsten available in St. George, Utah, about 1 1/2 hours drive north of vegas. Talk to Jeff Schmutz if you are interested, he should be able to work you out a good deal. They had one more allocation they thought but were going to put that one in Mesquite...
