    World Class Driving Event

    Thanks for your comments DBK/Shadowman/Stormcat. Before learning of the FGT, I originally wanted the Z06, having had a 98 C5 and thinking of only the price/performance ratio. What this forum and the WC driving event did for me was enlighten me as to how much more of a car the FGT really is. I...

    World Class Driving Event

    What a fantastic day, but with a sad ending too. First the good parts: I drove the F430, the GT3, the Gallardo roadster, SLR and the venerable FGT. There were some cancellations so we ended up driving the entire day on beautiful mountain roads, switching cars about every 20-30 minutes. I got...

    World Class Driving Event

    Thanks to you both for your comments. Unfortunately for me it will be a gloriously sunny day tomorrow, so that will be that. The price has certainly gone up, it's now over a grand. But hey, such is life. I am really quite excited, especially reading the posts from all you veteran owners that...

    World Class Driving Event

    Hello all, I have been lurking here for some time now with the intent of getting the FGT before this year is out. This saturday I will be driving it and the SLR, Gallardo roadster, 360, and a Porsche GT3 or turbo in Big Bear Lake, Ca. at what is called the World Class Driving Event. I am...

    Sitting on the fence? Haven't bought yet?

    I must admit, your yellow does look pretty darn good. I retract not only the yellow comment, but the no stripes one as well, just in case anyone else takes it personally. My point was, please just give me a little more time!

    GT Navigation Solution

    I have the C550 in my C32. Great unit and the acquisition speed is awesome.

    Sitting on the fence? Haven't bought yet?

    Boy, you guys really know how to get the ulcer burning for those of us who are desperately trying to figure out how to get a GT before they're all spoken for. In my case, I have developed a product for the prosthetics industry for which I am in negotiation to sell the rights to a company very...

    Most amazing sight I've ever seen on the road

    Well I stand corrected, there was another GT.

    Most amazing sight I've ever seen on the road

    I'm merging onto 101 West in Westlake Village, Ca and end up right in front of a police escort of probably 75 exotics including at least 3 Enzos, 3 or more Carrera Gts, a McLaren SLR, several Gallardos and other Lambos, a handful of f430s (coupes and spyders) an F40, several porsche turbos, and...

    pics of gauges at night

    Thanks for the shot. I will take anything you have, incl. the reactor light! How does everyone like the blue at night? It looks perfect from what I can tell but I haven't had the pleasure of beholding the gauges at night in person.

    pics of gauges at night

    I searched but couldn't find much. One of the things I love about the right car is the cockpit at night. From what I can tell, the GT has one sweet look and ambience. Can anyone direct me to, or provide me with pics of your gauges at night or lit up in low light? I've seen a few stock shots of...

    Trying to find new 06 in Vegas or South CA.

    There is a white with blue stripes sitting on a Ford lot in Modesto, about 4-6 hours from SoCal, depending on from where you start. I don't know the name of the dealership as a friend just mentioned it to me in passing, but I doubt there is more than one Ford dealer in that town. Good luck.

    Trying to find new 06 in Vegas or South CA.

    Last time I checked Autotrader a month or so ago there were a bunch, but I wasn't paying attention to their location. You may want to give it a shot.
