Speedometer failure My Speedo just failed. I suspect look to see if I have the same problem. Thank you for the info! Lee:cheers

wax or not to wax The newer paint systems do not need wax. I have many cars and have never waxed any of them. My oldest sport car the 1999 Porsche looks brand new. I only clean it with car soap and water. I am careful to not let grit in the rag. This is what causes swirls in the paint...

5K service My FGT at the dealer I bought the car from total was $109. This included Oil, filter plus look over. Lee:cheers

Owners manual The FGT comes with a car cover A neat but simple plug in battery trickle charger a covered manual small air compressor and tow hook Good luck to you. Lee

Power lost If you are thinking of changing your antifreeze with water I would not do that. It goes away from goodness. Anitfreeze has a higher specfic heat than water which is a fancy way of saying it carries away more btu's or heat than water. Lee

832 Hp Please I would be interested in the actual HP and Torque curves before and after. Plus any other details you can share

832 hp WOW I did not ask the question the way you did. He said Ford would not honor the warrranty. i followed up saying " you mean I am on my own" he said yes. It makes sense to me that it violates the Warranty. The real unanswered question is what does Ford offer for HP enhancement if...

832 hp WOW Great point. He uses 93 octane pump gas and adds an additive. He gave me a bottle it is called Octane Supreme 130. The label says it boosts octane 2 to 16 points etc. I wrote poorly the 23 number i referenced is the pulley number. I assumed this was the number of teeth. It is...

AC Garage I store 5 cars off site from my house. I have been unable to find a AC or ventilated storage area. I live in Central Florida. The cars seemed to be okay but mostly stayed only 2-4 weeks before I use them. The multiple storage areas were very small 10 ftX 20 ft with a low ceiling...

Saleen help Craig, the issue about customer support or even being nice is an issue with Saleen. I have a freind who has a Ford dealership and he has Saleens. He tells me they are rude to them and customers. Also spare parts are difficult. I did not buy a saleen S7 for that reason. I have a...

Failed supercar The gentleman must be British. The not starting I think was mostly in Britian becasue of the UK goverments mandated security system. The 5th Gear car show guy Jeremy Clarkson has horrible problems with his. Ford had never planned to export to Britian. My 2005 FGT has been...

Great point I will be at the cars and coffee event at Lake Mary. I will bring my Ford GT. I went last month with the Ferrari F430F1. A great time. Dwight did a great job picking an ideal location for car guys to drink coffee, eat sweet sticky things and talk car stuff. I have registered...

Great car I think this gentleman makes a great point. I try to buy cars that in my view are a different niche. My point of view on which cars maybe a little different. I like performance cars so I focus mostly on those. In my view the F430 and FGT while both sport cars have entirely...

Perfectly said Nate you made a perfect point. This does make the FGT a special car. I wish I had said it :banana Lee

I own a FGT and a F430 Both are great cars. I like my Ford GT slightly better than the f430. I love them both but they each drive differently. The ferrari is a little easier to live with. You have good visiability in almost all quarters. The car handles like a race car and runs like a bat...

What to do You ask a very important question. You are very smart to ask that at 14 years of age. The problem today is careers and income are changing quickly. So you have to look into the future. When i was younger I knew i did not want to be plant manager of a paper company! Why...

I own a FGT I own a Ford GT and I go to this gentlemans event. My F430 is in his picture on the right. Dwight i will drive my Ford GT to the next event. I think you are doing a service to all exotic car buffs including FGt owners. You put on a wonderful easy going day for us car nuts thank...

I was driving my beloved 2005 FGT and I noticed a funny smell that seemed like leaking AC coolant. I took it to the dealer and it turned out to be mildew from the heater. in Florida i never have had the need to turn on the heater. it seems you have to run the heater for 15 minutes every so...
