welcome Matt,

as everyone else has already mentioned Im sure your experience with your new gt will be nothing short of exhilarating, I guess the only bad thing about owning a gt is that very quickly you realize you need another one.:lol enjoy!

But I will say I bought my first Ford GT today!!!!!!!

What a coincidence, Matt...I just got my first Porsche last week, a 2003 Ruf 550 Rturbo. I'm doing the same thing as you...just learning more about the car, and having a damn fun time doing it.

Enjoy, and welcome to the group!

MATT,
If you can handle a 930, you will have zero issues with the FGT. The tires are not an issue with the FGT, like the 930, it is the right foot... FGT is a much easier and forgiving machine.
Merry Christmas,
daniel

Matt -

Welcome from another track junkie and fellow GT and Porsche enthusiast too.
You'll love the GT on the track! Just don't let 'Roketman' near it - you'll need new tires in a hurry! :lol By the way - he's a Porsche guy too.

My current Porsche stable is: 1970 914-6 GT, 914-6 2.0, 1972 911R clone,
1973 RS clone, 1974 911S 3.0, 1974 Carerra Targa, 1975 Carerra track car in the making, 1987 Wide Body, 1995 993.

Roebling Road, Kershaw and VIR are my stompig grounds - hope to see you out there.

Here's me in the 914 chasing my son in our GT...

that is a great pic :thumbsup

Nine Thirty Man - you got that right.

please be careful of anyone that has a lot of green dots!

Glad you got a GT added to your collection. It will quickly become your favorite. Best to consider a garage addition soon, so you'll have room for the second GT.
