    2018 Ford Fiesta ST

    ^^THIS!^^ My only complaint about the current gen is "state side" gets 5 door ST's only.

    2005-2006 Pre Purchase Inspection Needed? Who can I talk with ?

    Hello Rodger, First thing I'd recommend doing is listing your location (or the location of the vehicle(s) you are interested in). Considering all the owners on this site, you can probably get multiple recommendations for a local "inspector" to review a car. You might also want to include what...

    Steep decline in FGT Values

    2 in my family are still on MSO: 2005 red, 2006 heritage. With the amount of <10 mile/"wrapper" GT's popping up for sale over the past couple of years, I'd guess around 50% of them are on the MSO, with the majority still on MSO being 2006 MY's. -Lots- of wrapper cars out there too, not for sale...

    Good Price on a GT?

    If you want low miles you're going to pay for it (ex. the car on Ebay you referenced). If you plan on regularly driving a GT after purchase, I'd highly suggest patience while looking for a car with 20K miles or more on it. The prices will be well below $275K. 20K+ cars that were properly...

    Ok be honest...

    The Ford reps at Barrett-Jackson said I should check here for allocation information. I told them I'll get registered... Exactly. Some of the stuff I've read since the NFGT announcement = :facepalm: I've been checking this board twice a week since the rally announcement on behalf of a couple...

    2016 Ford GT only for Ford Fans and Collectors making pricing interesting

    The serious collectors/extreme Ford guys might/probably will pay 400K for this car. After that, the real world comes into play; the street cars/standard production units on the normal market. I might be way off here, but after the frenzy over the first ~200 production units, I don't see the...

    Ford Builds the Mclaren MP4-12

    My exact thoughts. This car looks -way- too much like an Aventador from the front 3/4 view. IMO Ford should have named this something else besides "GT".

    Top gear Veyron, Vs McLaren F1

    I see an empty 3rd lane. Too bad there wasn't a TT GT in it, would have been more interesting :lol

    Cam positioning>>>

    Basically a + 1; it's either the cam timing or the wrong cam grinds... From what I heard on MF, most production Ford OHC motors experience incorrect cam timing from the factory, anywhere from 1-7 degrees off...

    Getting in shape.

    Chip, This is what I did and lost over 20 pounds in ~3 weeks... Breakfast: 3 eggs (I like mine scrambled). Feel free to throw in cheese and use hot sauce etc for flavor. I also made mine with polksa kielbasa daily. Lunch: 1 or 2 (was 2 for me) pieces of chicken breast. Cook it on the BBQ or...

    Whipple: What Ford Shoulda Done From the Start?

    Yep. The only drawback to a 3.4 is it takes more power to turn (which is negated cause it makes more rwhp/psi). I don't know if Ford made the 2.3L on the GT or farmed it out, but 4000+ 3.4L blowers could only have been marginally more cost per unit than the 2.3L...at least thats what it seems...
