I have had my replacement hose for a year and did not think to look at it until I stumbled upon this threat. Mine is quite greasy. Is it safe to drive/use with the hose in this condition?

Thanks for sharing this. Your car looked amazing. I can't help wonder if the 20-up models are underrated. Nobody has published instrumented test results to-date. If this was a 17-19, based on the published test results from various sources, the Z06 should have smoked it.

I saw that. I hope I can score it when it's released.

The 750 supposedly denotes the torque limit of 750nm torque which is 551 ft/lbs yet the AMG GT is above that with 590ft/lb. Most articles say the MKII has the same trans as the "regular" GT. The limit on the trans is going to be torque, not horsepower and media on the MKII mentions 700hp but not...

As Chip said, the transmission is going to be the limiting factor. The car with highest hp/tq equipped with the 7DCL750 seems to be the AMG GT Black Series with 720hp and 590ft/lb tq which is only 40 ft/lb more. If the internals are the same there might still be that little bit of capacity left...

As somebody posted, there's a lot more high mileage GT's around than people realize for good reason. Once you start, you can't stop lol. I drive mine sparingly but still managed to put 2400 miles in one year. If you're in the market, I would advise getting a car that has been driven due so that...

That's unfortunate that even Bryan hasn't been able to figure it out. If he can't do it, nobody (well, nobody outside the factory) can. However it's also good to see Ford and Multimatic stepping up to make sure it's taken care off.

The NFGT is literally the only car in my fleet I don't plan on customizing. If it didn't have the carbon fiber wheels, I would have likely installed the BBS FI-R's but I have a tough time justifying a wheel swap when the lightest option is already on it. If somebody comes up with a tune that...

Spirited weekend drives, cars and coffee, occasional errands and restaurants if it’s in a safe and visible area where I can see it. Weekend road trips are doable but challenging with luggage. My trick is using plastic bags vs suitcase or duffel. Not exactly “classy” but it works for me and (one...

They were on backorder when my GT arrived so I made my own with some mesh and weatherstripping material until I got my hands on the GT Guys set. I could have stuck with my cheap solution which was very effective but the GT Guys kit looks like a factory piece so I swapped out as soon as they had...

My Carbon Series came with the Carbon sills and they sure look cool, though they came loose on me a couple of times. If you get the carbon sills make sure you put some thick PPF on them and you won't have any issues.

From the looks of it, mine was in the same exact spot a couple weeks ago!

Congrats! So exciting when one shows up!

Gotta love Tamiya. They were my favorite when I was a little kid. My first "big" build was a Blackfoot (Ford F150 body)

So who's got the highest mileage? Most I've seen was a blue one with 40k. I'm barely at 700 itching to put more on.
