GT Owner
Jan 30, 2008
64
I have been off and on about getting one and my buddy Cody (from A.R.T) has been telling me that I would really like one. I have had it for a few days and put about 100 miles on it so far and really do like it. I can't wait to start modding it, nothing I own is stock and plan on having it twin-turboed. I purchased a 2005 red car with all four options with only 750 miles on her. The original owner never drove it and it has had 3 oil changes, all the recalls done including the billet arms. I'm going to order the coilover sleeves and HREs on Monday. I had it tinted and have a appointment for a clear bra this week. I'm looking forward to meeting alot of you guys and learning alot about this car. Here are a few quick pictures I took this afternoon, I will get some better ones tomorrow.

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

Thanks Ray, it's going to be a fun project, it's going to Cody's in about 10 days to get twin-turboed. Are you going to have your yellow beast ready for the mile at the end of the month? The motor is getting done in the Supra and we may turn it up a bit. My goal this time is 245mph or so..

'69 Mach1
'05 GT
'06 C6 ZO6 (track car)
'03 Miata turbo 400rwh (track car)

I sold it to a buddy of mine a while back, I never drove it much. I also sold my '69 Camaro to another friend of mine last month, never drove it at all. I want to have cars that I will drive and not just look at. I want a 599 next, but I am going to keep the f430 because I really like it and so does my wife.

Welcome to our lil' asylum, 'king! :banana:thumbsup

'Would be interested in reading your assessment of the STOCK FGT vs your '430 after you've driven the FGT a few more miles. There will BE no comparison after the TT's go on! :rofl
 
Welcome. Congratulations on the GT and the great collection. :cheers
 
Welcome
 
My Yellow Car won't be ready for the mile in Texas but should be running my ART 440 Challenger and possibly my Matte Black FGT shown in the other thread...

The yellow FGT should be ready by May and we are looking at renting Oscoda to give you some competition :biggrin
