    Heat Shield

    :wink will do. I would have put more miles on it but did not have the car that long before I had to him away for the blasted winter. Sure envy those owners in the Sun belt.

    Heat Shield

    I DRIVE mine! Sideways. But only have 2000 miles on it so far. No disrespect, but it's semantics to question whether Ford *should have* put on a trans axle cooler. "Mens Rea" means 'guilty mind' and you can't prove Ford's intent was to stiff the customers - however you could prove they were...

    A lawyer would never try to prove "Mens Rea" with that argument!

    I have proof that XXX is faster

    Look, a fair amount of ink (ok, server storage) has been spent on which color is fastest. And of course I side with the eriudite Neil and the scientific HHGT. But the only way to settle this is in true patriotic fashion. Question: Where was the illustrious GT conceived and lovingly constructed...

    Heat Shield

    Dave, you are a great guy and you've helped me (and many other here at the forum) for which we are thankful, but I have to say I think you are off-base on this. EVERYONE knows Ford did a fantastic job with this car and EVERYONE is amazed at how much car one gets for the money. We all are proud...

    :willy :willy If you other guys [not you Mr. Mardyn] would read your owner's manual you wouldn't be posting these d*%b questions! :biggrin

    New recall?

    Welcome Dave. I see you can only pay using paypal. What do those of us who only have credit cards do? If you pm me I can give you a yankee $$ VISA #.

    GTs to Canada

    Keep us posted. Forum readers may not be aware that Canadians pay a huge premium over just the dollar exchange rate for cars, particularly expensive cars. Case in point a fully optioned Porsche Carrera S in 2005 cost $98,000 USD but $149,900 CDn. Can you say rip-off? [Where the hell is that Free...

    Hidden rear bumper

    Well I agree it takes some interior debate if you go that way. I must admit, when I saw the rear photos of the first prototype car, I thought the external rear bumper was a joke and looked out of place. But now after getting used to it, it does not bother me so much. Still , I like the clean...

    Help I am locked out of my GT

    I can see why Las Vegas would be different than most other places now. Sounds to me like you have a dealer problem though. I would go elsewhere. If there isn't anyone else, then I would insist on getting the car done when it is convenient for you, and insist on being there every step of the way...

    Help I am locked out of my GT

    Careful - it won't help if you bring a negative attitude to the dealer. I have never dealt with a Ford dealer before getting my GT - but the service I have had so far is second to none. My rule is - I treat them with respect, while politely outlining my concerns and my standards. And I am...

    Help I am locked out of my GT

    The only thing that argues against the simple battery/charging problem is the fan being on with the key out. That's pretty strange. Maybe a couple of shots of Old Turkey will help!

    I would love a copy of that letter. Thanks

    Help I am locked out of my GT

    Question: Can't tell from your message whether you are referring to the climate control fan or the fan for the radiator. If it is the CC interior fan, have you tried turning the fan control knob until it is off? Also - the door tumblers are there as a safety measure so that you CAN open the...

    Help I am locked out of my GT

    Mine too. No problems so far with anything. But I am definitely going to try the key slot in the driver's door now!! So maybe CSX 1024's problem is a blessing for the rest of us. Look on the positive side Shelby Man!

    Help I am locked out of my GT

    Some alarm systems drain the battery more than others too.

    Help I am locked out of my GT

    Now I feel dumb. I assumed that if you couldn't open the door locks you couldn't get the trunk hatch open either. I haven't had any of these problems (knock on wood) so I don't know if the clamshell being open would drain the battery. I do know that if the clamshell is open and the key is in...
