    What have you done with your new Ford GT?

    Ah! Got it. I never actually saw them before Rich refinished them and I thought he told me they were red. Now I need to get the calipers on my '06 GT finished in Speed Yellow as well so the cars match. Chip

    What have you done with your new Ford GT?

    Gentlemen, When I ordered my new GT I wanted gloss black brake calipers to match the ones on my 2006 GT. Surprisingly black was not one of the options early in 2017 (it's available now). How about yellow then? No, that's not available either. So I ordered red and that was fine UNTIL....I...

    A solution to valve cover bolt Corrosion......ARP replacements

    Gentlemen, When something like this pops up and I think back to when these cars were new or nearly so it's amazing how much aftermarket stuff was produced for 4038 cars. I miss having all those items available. These bolts were fantastic and mine still look great today. I'm pretty sure I...

    2020 performance difference

    Gentlemen, I've talked to Brooks (Drag Times) multiple times both on the phone and via text and even in private he never said anything negative about Ford or the GT during our conversations. As DBK stated above Brooks makes a living buying and testing supercars and his videos of heads up races...

    Bring a trailer?

    I have sold two vehicles and bought one using Bring a Trailer and I really like them. They are selective about the cars they take and the first time you list with them it's harder as they are vetting the seller as well. Chip

    Ford GT's Getting Flagged by CARB!

    Gentlemen, In AZ any car that has collector car insurance is exempt from having to go through emissions, even a brand new car. Saves a lot of hassle and has allowed me to mod my 1992 Porsche 964 without worry about the next inspection. I would imagine several other states allow similar...

    Ford GT's Getting Flagged by CARB!

    Gentlemen, I'm glad I was born in 1956 and got to live in the golden age of the sovereign individual. These big brother intrusions are maddening. I honestly don't know why so many people choose to stay in CA. Chip

    How low can you go?

    Gentlemen, My gauge was showing 1 mile to empty when I pulled into a station after dinner a few days ago. Showed 25 miles to empty when I left the garage. 19 miles to empty after I had driven 1 mile, and 10 miles to empty after an easy low speed 5 mile drive to the restaurant. After dinner a...

    UPDATE Post 26 - Chance Motorsports Encounter Makes a New Friend

    So far so good with a few challenges. One of the side effects of fluconazole in dogs is it kills their appetite and energy level. It takes some effort to get Abby to eat. She continues to improve though and she actually plays occasionally with Charley’s Corgi puppy who has endless energy and...

    Why do this?

    Gentlemen, I just received word that car is real!! I would've bet 100 to 1 that it was fake click bait. Damn. Chip

    Why do this?

    That is photo-shopped BS. People do that because they have too much time on their hands. Chip

    Rally 13 UPDATE.

    Gentlemen, AND....just two hours after I put up this thread DBK sends me the news that Governor Ducey has just re-closed all AZ bars, night clubs, gyms, theaters, and gatherings of more than 50 people for at least the next 30 days. To quote Thomas Paine, "These are the times that try men's...

    Rally 13 UPDATE.

    Gentlemen, I'm an eternal optimist and I've worked my ass off trying to put everything together here for Dave to review and modify or sign off on. It would be an understatement to say that trying to plan something during all the insanity going on in the country today has been maddening. Every...
