    Balance of Performance - Counterpoint?

    +1 Boring race. Normally, Car durability, driver capability and team strategy play equal roles. Team strategy was eliminated this year, and the safety car provided a huge margin for durability and driver capability. BOP was supposed to level the playing field. This year the rule changes and...

    Track Tires

    Track Tires

    Hoosier recently released new 20" tire sizes, that might just fit the NFGT: Front: 265/30ZR20 compared to 245/35R20 OE Rear: 335/25ZR20 compared to 325/30R20 OE Thoughts? Worried that the additional width (especially up front) may cause fender rub in Track mode, even with the shorter...

    Congratulations Blake, I'm sure you and Rene had a great time! That color is just great and so dynamic in different lighting -- Enjoy!! Sadly, the temps are plummeting here with a low of 19* tonight and a high of 29* tomorrow, so my baby went into hibernation, yesterday :thumbsdow

    Sparco Track Kit

    I did the Drivers side: 1) Remove the mini glove box at the front of the drivers seat cushion (open it up there are 2 recessed screws that attach it) 2) Remove the seat cushion -- 4 nuts: 2 front, 2 rear. The fronts are easily accessed -- the rears you need to tilt the seat back forward and use...

    Track Time

    Yes, the rotors should be good for multiple pad changes. Unlike regular rotors that just have a minimum thickness, the GT carbn ceramic rotors are engraved with a minimum thickness and minimum weight.

    Track Time

    After 3 Track days, the brake pads are nearly half worn, so I ordered some replacements , anticipating more track time next season. Interestingly, they are labelled Phoenix :thumbsup

    What have you done with your new Ford GT?

    Approaching 6 months with the car -- unfortunately the "Car season" is pretty short here in Michigan. Didn't drive it until Easter and took a partial (car) family shot. Then did 10 Car shows/C&C followed by Rally 12. Went to High Octane Detroit in Birmingham today -- the 12th Car Show/C&C this...

    Visited Multimatic today to see VIN 00098 - Liquid Blue / White stripes

    Glad to hear your car is near delivery, and you got to see under the skin -- these cars are fantastic pieces of technology with amazing craftsmanship both inside and out. Plus when you see the car with no body panels you realize how tight the package is -- no space goes to waste and everything...
