This was a common problem early on. Ford replaced mine under warranty back then

I am game!

Dealer came to my house as well, the two guys though were not of the class one would think to service a Ford GT, seemed like they would be more appropriate to work on a 300 thousand mile beat up Dodge. Had to watch them every minuute

everyone has their opinion

thankfully not bad at all. The Porsche and Mercedes dealers have guys they know who can fix something like this. It is often done to repair transportation damage without cracking open a paint sprayer. Hope is not lost on this one, sorry it happened

I wanted a white with blue and brand new, but waited too long so had to settle for red with white (poor me lol)

can certainly be repaired, but with the miles, the hard damage, the expense and time to find the parts, the aftermarket wheels ,the blown air bags the salvage title, this one should be a donor

and then comes the electric version

Someone came onto our all Porsche lot several years ago, looked at my red roadster and asked if it was a kit car. Really stupid when there was nothing but a bunch of Porsches ONLY surrounding the car!

you have had MUCH more enjoyment of your GT than most of us put together!!! (LOL) How about a list of things that you had to repair along the way, just to give us all an idea of what to expect?

I started to read this and immediately thought thermostat until further down the story when you said you just replaced the water pump. NOW I would say that the cooling system was not bled properly / thoroughly and you have a bubble in the cooling system. This same thing happens in the water...

yes but have also not been able to figure it out does sound like it is coming from around the windshield

I got mine at oreilly's and then transferred the original sticker, cannot tell the difference! Funny my original optima lasted 12 years, my second just over one year, now on my third so far so good
