Hi All,
I'm the new owner of Jeff's (youngceo) 05 Black /Silver. I've been lurking here for two years and looking for the right car for the last 8 months and found it 25 miles from my house. What a pleasure to deal with a real car guy who appreciates cars the way I do. If any of you are looking, this board is the best place to find your car. The good ones are here. I'll post some photos later.

This brings me to my question, The car has Bridgestone Scuderia tires and I'm wondering what tire pressures I should be running as it seems many have changed over from the Goodyears. I appreciate reading the post and mature civility that this forum shows to one another unlike banter of some other forums.

I plan on doing some track events as soon as I get the safety equipment (appreciate any input on what is best harness set up) it already has a fire system. I had been a long time porsche owner, driver, racer but I was done with the gouge, not that a FGT is cheap, it's not. Looking forward to joining the fraternity.

Jim

I run 32 psi in my Bridgestones. I am not an expert, but I have stayed in a Holiday Inn Express.

Congrats on the GT.

Best Regards,

Welcome to the fold. You bought an awesome car from a great guy. BTW, I was in his car more than his Ex... Isn't that right Jeff?

I've run 35 psi which was OK but dropped it to 32 for the long trip to and from Rally V.

I run 32 also. It just feels right.

For safety equipment, check with Wally (cobrar1339), he'll hook you up with all the good stuff, and most of it is custom fitted and etched (GT40) for the GT. Sweet.

Oh, and welcome to the fold.

I run 32 psi front and rear also. I wish I could take it out for a ride now, but with the temperature at 8 degrees, snow all over, I wonder if spring will ever arrive!!! Welcome to the forum and enjoy the car and the new friends you'll be making!!

Thanks HHGT,

I didn't find any straw wrappers under the passenger seat, so I appreciate keeping the car pristine.
