I read a post on the internet that Ford announced the price for the new Ford GT. Initially it was speculated to sell $350-400,000. So I thought I would surprise my wife with a home equity loan withdrawal to subsidize the buy. Now they apparently officially announced it at $600,000. Do you...

Has anyone heard if the passenger airbag in addition to the driver airbag is involved in the recall? I would not like to think of the prospects of the dash being disassembled an reassembled. ( Hate having left over parts/nuts and bolts etc.).

Rich Thanks for the information to this mystery part. Several calls to Ford were unsuccessful in solving the mystery. However they did make an effort but could not reference the part number. Anyway thanks for the information, you have been very helpful. ( Sorry I did not reply sooner, but...

I dropped the belly pan under my engine this weekend and the following part dropped out "F5VF-14A457-AA". Called the dealer and they can't identify it other than based on the prefix, it is a "90s" part number. Any idea what it is and where it goes. Thanks

(I am posting the following as an FYI that might or might not be of interest to Forum members. It is a copy of an email I just sent to Fred Goodnow. Regards to all of my GT friends. I may have been quiet for some time but continue to share the passion.) Hi Fred Hope all is well. Just took...

Just another article to add to the rumor mill. http://automiddleeast.com/2011/02/08/news/ford-news/ford-to-revive-the-iconic-gt-supercar/ 1) Personally I hope it becomes a reality. 2) I also hope that if it does happen, those of us who would like to own one will not have to be teased and...

My 2 cents. I owned a GT-R for aprox 6 weeks. Great car, but for me more of a race car type of ride. Used it as a daily driver but missed some of the creature comforts I was used to for an every day ride. Also beware that maintenance costs are up there with some exotics (trans fluid $90 a qt...

The following was a post I submitted to an R8 forum. The discussion tread centered around an R8 V10 owner who raced a GT on the road stating that he out accelerated it in every gear. In all fairness, I felt that although both cars are impressive, they both have similarities yet their own...

Thinking of ordering a 2011 Shelby Gt500 coupe to park next to my Ford Gt Have surfed the web for info and still have several questions. Figured since there are number number of Ford guys and other knowledgeable members on the site I might be able to get some answers. 1). Is there an...

Ford GT 600RE crashed Just came across this link with some sad photos of a totaled European GT. http://allcarsreview.com/2007/11/03/ford-gt-600re-crashed/ As an aside does anyone know if these cars were part of the original production or is the true number built the 4024 cars plus these 10. I...

Stock Louvers For all it is worth, I recall speaking to one of the Ford GT engineers on this issue. He told me that the later production cars had a more "robust" louver design to help cope with the warping issue. I was also told that supposedly the replacement parts were all of the newer...
