    Sunday Morning in the new GT

    doc, the car sits very low to the ground, so it would help if it were up in the air a little bit. Perhaps if you drive the car up on several planks of wood, just to get it up 3 inches or so, that might be enough. fwiw - I need to do that just to get my floor jack under the car. I'll get some...

    Sunday Morning in the new GT

    I don't have a lift, but I'd be glad to take pictures lying on my driveway. Just let me know. What part of Atlanta are you located? I might be able to meet you, but I'm limited in range - PM me if you'd like. Complete shock if it was left off at the factory. I would think a zone rep would...

    Logos in colour - got 'em if you want 'em

    I've got bitmaps (1.8mb each) of these. If you want the bitmaps, I can either email them to you, or put them into the gallery, DBK permitting. I've printed one on a piece of paper the same size as a license plate, which I will use to cover my State issued plate while I'm at shows or just...

    nota4re - it's okay to wax the underside of the car. What is strange is if you were to wax the inside of the undertray :biggrin

    Sunday Morning in the new GT

    I am sure the car left Wixom in perfect condition. It could be very innocent - someone removed the panels because they thought they might get damaged in subsequent shipping and forgot to load them on the trailer. Not so innocent, but wouldn't make me worry about the car's integity -- The...

    Sunday Morning in the new GT

    My bet would be the diffuser was removed by someone prior to transportation, after having been delivered to the originating dealer. There are too many checks/balances at the factory to let a car go without a diffuser. I have pictures of my car being offloaded from the factory-used...

    The Alphabet of How I Purchased My GT

    Long story short -- I wanted one really bad ever since seeing the concept. I must be one of the very few who had never heard of fordgtprices.com. Sorry, centerpunch, but I watched eBay myself (I bookmarked <Ford, highest price first>), specifically a bidder named something like...

    2007 Shelby GT500

    Once your car is serialized (given a VIN), contact the VOPC every Friday morning to get an update. These updates will include the anticipated delivery week. Once your car is "blended", your Window Sticker is available on the Ford Vehicle Info Server. If your car is shipped by rail, it will...

    Who really came up with the idea to do the GT?

    I envision years ago Ford brass sitting a ta table wondering what they should do to celebrate the Centennial. So when asked about building a special show car, someone had to be the first one to bring up the "GT40". Who was it? I've heard rumours that the original idea came from discussing on...

    Trouble closing the rear shell

    Thanks for the picture! Here is a picture from my '06 which is a bit different. I am guessing the design was changed in an effort to help the clamshell pop up when opened, which it does quite well.

    Now I know why some of you have to own two GTs

    I just got in from a 20 mile drive. I'm still in break-in mode, but this car is unbelievable. Words can't describe how much I enjoyed just driving it around on suburban roads and a short Interstate stint. I've got that "GT Smile" The attention it gets from other drivers is also quite amusing...

    It arrived this afternoon !

    Thanks for all the kind words ! Here's a pic. Yep - You can easily tell I'm one of those guys who asks the dealer to leave everything in it's place. I sometimes feel bad doing that, because it's like I don't trust them. I even asked to keep the greasy floor mat protector that the transport...

    It arrived this afternoon !

    David, I just got in from the garage for the umpteenth time :biggrin Rob, I'm in North Georgia. I guess the two days of rain will give me time to read the manual.

    It arrived this afternoon !

    My dealer called me this afternoon with the good news - the big orange truck arrived with my GT! My wife and I immediately rushed over. Everyone at the dealership was very friendly and interested. After taking care of formalities, we took off for home for a 30+ mile drive in rush hour...

    Read confirm yes cancel

    Sending PM's we get the read receipt message box. Would it be better to change the word "cancel" to "no" ? Every time I see "cancel" I think my PM is going to be canceled. Thanks
