    Plan to buy new GT

    Yes...I agree. The S7 is BAAAAAAAADDD sounding. When I first saw the video, I had to call Steve Saleen and verify that I was hearing the actual "out of the box" sound...and I was. Despite my love for the Lambos, I am not an F1 person and to me, they all sound like singer sewing machines revved...

    Plan to buy new GT

    I agree totally. Back in 50s/60s, guys would install the biggest cam made without anything else...and then wonder why the performance got worse. But, I'm going by my own experience with my '94 vette...fully built and blown. It had about the most radical cam that would work correctly in harmony...

    Plan to buy new GT

    Ok...thanks guys. First, I don't want an obnoxious sounding car, but want something a little meaner sounding than a Ford Fusion. For those of you that have heard/driven the Saleen S7 TT, it has a mean idle that bounces from 1200-1800 rpm and a very deep grumble. Now the GT I tested idled very...

    Plan to buy new GT

    Hi all...I plan to buy a 2006 GT. I looked and looked but am held back by some basics. I was very disappointed that the GT idled and sounded like a family sedan. I realize it will never be a Saleen S7, but would like it to at least have a muscular sound and be as lumpy as a 96-99 Viper. Not...

    Ford GT Newbie here

    First, I was NOT serious about cruise control. Love it, but was just joking how the Lambo and Viper people balk at them. However, I would really like a sat nav system and add a back up cam to it. No, it is not a Ford option. But, shops that install highend audio and video systems do them along...

    Ford GT Newbie here

    Hi All...am brand new to the GT, but not new to exotics, etc. Just looked at a red with stripes today...not sure yet between that, the blue w/stripes, or the new titanium w/stripes. However, I do have a question regardless of what color I get. I know how the Viper and Lambo boards flame you down...
