    Last Minute Ride Allert

    Promise next time I will give more of a heads-up. You all know how cool it is to see a bunch of GT's in your rear-view, or to have the opportunity to follow a group of GT's. Truly a unique experience. The more the merrier next time!

    Last Minute Ride Allert

    Five GT's including Camilio's #7, a 912R, a '69 Pontiac GTO, and Tommy Kendall's El Gallo all showed up at Wooboose's place. A clear sky and 80 degree ocean breezes met us as we descended from Ocean to PCH on our way to Marmalade. Lots and lots of laughter, how Camilo came to design the GT, some...

    Last Minute Ride Allert

    Woobose and Hollywoodstunts are meeting at 1410 Abbot Kinney, cross street California (90291) for a Malibu brunch run. Meeting around 9, with a 9:30am departure for Malibu. It's late notice, but if you can't make the Venice portion, we're heading to Marmalade at Cross Creek. We should be there...

    Happy Birthday, DRIVEBY

    About three years ago, Grant invited five of us to sit with him behind home plate at Wrigley Field. While we were filing down to the seats, someone from the crowd yelled, "Hey look! It's the guys from Entourage!" It was Hilarious! Thanks again Grant for the tickets and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

    So.... anybody ready to start talking about alternative gauges for the FGT?

    Wish I could help you. I have no idea. Thought there were people out there more knowledgeable on this topic and have no idea why they aren't chiming in. DBK, can you please post the address to send failed gauges? Don't want to be "part of the problem" in the process of addressing a problem, so...

    So.... anybody ready to start talking about alternative gauges for the FGT?

    Laniakea, I couldn't agree more about beating every ounce of life out of this thread. DBK: moving towards a solution, are three gauges not enough to determine the cause of failure? Regarding the three that have been collected, do they not have a common problem? Can the results of the analysis...

    So.... anybody ready to start talking about alternative gauges for the FGT?

    DBK: "They have nothing to do with Ford's gauge problems. The point was that you wondered if Ferraris had gauge problems. Sure they do, if you count burning to the ground in a flaming heap of ashes." I didn't want a Ferrari and gauges didn't cause the fires. "And if it doesn't do that, you'd...

    So.... anybody ready to start talking about alternative gauges for the FGT?

    DBK: What do burning 458's have to do with Ford's faulty design? I didn't buy an Italian car because I didn't want the headaches associated with them. The GT is not made in Italy. I bought an American car because they typically don't have the poor build quality or spotty reliability like Italian...

    So.... anybody ready to start talking about alternative gauges for the FGT?

    I don't want to send in the old one for two reasons: 1.) There might be a fix, and if there is, I'm out a tach. 2.) From your description of what's going on, nothing is being done to research the problem. Autometer will not work on failed gauges. They suggest speaking with Ford. Last night...

    So.... anybody ready to start talking about alternative gauges for the FGT?

    Rumors that there's a gauge fix lurking around the corner are keeping me from sending in my formerly $500, that became $3,000, and now $1500 tach. I've also heard they wind up in a pile. Based on your scenario, and from your "Zero interest" description, why would anyone be inclined to send their...

    So.... anybody ready to start talking about alternative gauges for the FGT?

    I understand, and you make a valid point. It is a 5 year old, out of warranty, limited production car. People love to compare our cars to F cars when discussing repair costs. I've never owned an F car and don't claim to know much about them. But based on what I've heard is they have very...

    So.... anybody ready to start talking about alternative gauges for the FGT?

    Rock solid advice if you are able to ignore the white elephant in the room. What vehicle have you ever had to resort to said measures to preserve gauges? Plugging in a charger is one thing. Going through a pre-flight check list before starting a car seems in and of itself to signify that there's...

    So.... anybody ready to start talking about alternative gauges for the FGT?

    The reason the car is holding it's value is one if the reasons I bought the car. If they made a 2011, 750HP GT2 don't think for a second any of our cars would be anywhere near MSRP. But value retention is no justification for a manufacturers defect. Gauges run $500 to $1500 a pop. As far as...

    Ford GT beats F1 in drag race

    This is from a few years ago. From what I was told, the driver of the F1 car, supposedly a mid-east rally driving champ, turned off the TC.

    Some Ford GT Video Snippets

    With your wing and wrap, that is the SICKEST FGT I've ever seen! But they could have used a motorcyclist that's able to wheelie. If you guys are shooting again, I might know someone that can help you out.
