If you would like to throw some racing into the trip I would recommend checking out what Speed Ventures has to offer. http://www.speedventures.com/events/Default.aspx They are a very well run group and offer many different levels of driving.

We have done a couple sets of 3.90 gears in vehicle's equipped with twin turbo systems. We did not actually work on Rick's car (just the gearbox) in person but we did work on another customer's TT vehicle at our facility and in my opinion, the 3.90's helped alot. However, with that being said...

That was my understanding as well. I don't know how in the world it happened and I heard rumors that the owner of the 'Vette was going to investigate that with GM. I never heard what happened about it though.

You should send Ford a thank you letter... http://www.wreckedexotics.com/corvette/corvette_20040820_003.shtml http://www.wreckedexotics.com/corvette/corvette_20040820_002.shtml http://www.wreckedexotics.com/corvette/corvette_20040820_001.shtml I was standing just a few feet away from this car...

I did not watch the Tonight show with Jay Leno very often but when I did, I always found it funny and enjoyable. Conan on the other hand is just annoying and obnoxious. Jay Leno never had to try hard for the laughs, he was just funny and that caused people to laugh. Conan tries way too hard...

On our race-car we actually did something very similar to what you are describing. I wish we had taken some photos of our setup while the car was out here because it turned out great. The engineers used our rapid prototype machine to print out a platic pipe that came off of the front fascia...

Ed- I would highly recommend the brake ducts. They help tremendously. In the 2006 Targa rally we ran without ducting and we boiled the Motul RBF600 fluid a couple of times and kept having to bleed the brakes. In 2008 we switched to the AP Racing 600 fluid and fabricated a set of brake ducts...

Youtube is a good source for Top Gear video's but I've actually found www.streetfire.net to be a bit more complete. Plus they seem to be longer on Streetfire. My personal favorite Top Gear video is when they take the three exotic's around Europe. The GT, the F430, and the Pagani Zonda...

Glad to hear that you're already seeing the benefits Ed! I am sure you will enjoy them while on the track. By the way, what brake fluid are you running and do you have any brake ducts?

You are able to replace just the rotors and re-use the hats that come with the kit originally. We usually like to see people install new hardware when they do replaceme the rotors but that's just a good practice with two piece rotors.

Thank you for the write up Bill! I confirmed first thing this morning that the rear brackets that we have on the shelves have all been modified and new hardware for the front brackets are on order. As soon as they come in the necessary modifications will be made and they will be included in...

I don't disagree with you in regards to the hardware Jim. I tried talking our engineer's and Steve into using black hardware but I was overruled. How are those front bumper supports working out for you?

As Shelby said the only drilling required is to remove the rivets holding in the factory diffusers. We supply new rivets to re-attach the new urethane replacement diffuser's. The entire process (from pan removal to re-installation) usually takes around two to three hours from start to finish...

Well we have three very reputable member's who have stepped up to the plate and will be receiving their kits soon and begin testing. Look forward to more information soon!

One of ours flew out on the rally...Let me check with Steve to see if he wants to order a set.

These brake kids come standard with the Mintex Xtreme Motorsport pad. It is a pad that is safe for street and performs very well in race conditions. We do have other pads available if you would like a more aggressive pad.

Many of the long term owner's (especially early GTX1 owner's) will remember the discussion's regarding the performance issues with the very first big brake kit available for the Ford GT from Wilwood. Unfortunately, the Wilwood kit was not properly balanced for the Ford GT and we all saw that...

I definitely didn't mean this could be used for daily driving. I don't think that would be useful at all. But, it could help for the 1/4 mile runs or maybe even 1 mile runs.

This is something I found while researching some parts for a new GT project we have been working on. It seems like a pretty neat idea and pretty inexpensive. http://www.siliconeintakes.com/product_info.php?products_id=1227 You basically pack this box with about 20 pounds of ice and it chills...

A few years ago my Dad and I purchased and rebuilt a 1959 Cadillac convertible together. It has been one of the most fun cars to work on, drive, and look at. Congratulations on the new purchase!
