The tank is listed at 15.2 Gals,, I would use this as a high Mileage guide line : 14 Gal x 20 to 22 MPG.. 280 to 308. Miles . but getting that low on fuel might be risky,, I probably would go 200 to 250 max miles to make sure you didn't get too low.. If I recall the pump is submerged so you want to keep it cool,,

Between fuel capacity and storage capacity.... a support vehicle is a must on a long trip:rofl

Fuel capacity is 15.2 gallons but the fuel gauge and remaining miles display is set for 13 gallons. This was done to keep the fuel pump happy and while racing and turning that last two gallons is not sloshing around and creating fuel starvation.

That sounds like a good level and safety margin .. so on a easy highway drive 20 to 22 Mpg x 13 gals is a safe target as stated above I think I would run 200 to 250 max if cruising 65 to 70 mph.. How many miles are on your GT ? I know your #1 I think I'm #2 with just over 4000 mile.. :)

Not cheap I'm afraid (in Eurpoe anyway). Don't know about pricing in the US.

I just paid 200 for the front windshield of my Raptor.

What? I was asking about brake pads and disks for a NFGT, not windshields on a Raptor.

Oooops. I thought Jason was responding to Sinovac’s question about front winshield tints. My apologies

Look at this average miles per gallon on the trip display! OK, slight cheat, a reset before dropping 2000 feet, from Flagstaff to Sedona, almost all downhill at 80 something. 16 k miles now,

I am impressed with your mileage, just turned 78,000 on my 06 and loving every minute of it.. Took an elderly gentleman for a spin yesterday and after asking if his heart was strong, I proceeded to do a couple hundred feet burnout and acceleration to 125 mph. Needless to say but he had a grin on his face the rest of the day. Cheers, and many more miles/smiles. Cannot wait till I get my allotment.

Liquid Blue , H0098 . Backfire.

In sport mode, manual paddle shifting, 1500 miles on the ODO.
when shifting at 5000 RPM between 2-3, 3-4, 4-5th, I get a loud backfire noise from the exhaust .
anyone experience this ?
I don't think it is an issue. Comments.
Cannot tell if it is throwing flame.

Keep going at that rate, and I will never catch up to you, even if I do get an allocation next year.

I don’t have my NFGT yet (but soon!) but I will tell you that many of my turbo, twin clutch cars do the same thing, my McLaren, Alfa, and Porsche Turbo S all do that at shifts under hard acceleration.

thanks Tim. Eases my mind.
Once you obtain yours , you will need to experiment.

Make a hard pull thru the gears in auto mode and see if it happens. Do you let off the throttle while manually shifting?

Car has sun visors, but not very effective (they are the shortest visors I've ever seen). Make sure to have sunglasses.

Spirited braking will dump a lot of the rocks that get stuck in front of DBK's screens.

Yes it will but don’t do this at 90 MPH with any GT friends behind you in their GT. Don’t ask me how we found this out[emoji30]

MUCH shorter! Almost comedic. 05-06 are about 4", NGT the bottom edge has a curve, so the extension is 2" at edges, 2 1/2" at the center. With the rake of the windshield, their stowed position is actually pushed forward.

they are the shortest visors I've ever seen....shorter than the 05-06?
