    First Oil Change?

    I've got about 700 miles on in two months of driving. Do you think it's time to change the oil? Also, what would you tell/warn the dealer about the first time you bring the car in. (Mine is the dealer's first and only GT, I'm pretty sure). Thanks in advance for the advice.

    Question from potential buyer re: traction / stability control

    Bear in mind the exceptionally low center of gravity of the GT 44. Traction control saves lives by avoiding rollovers. It isn't like it could never happen in a GT but you really want roll protection when your inexperienced kid is driving your gigantic SUV with its high center of gravity and...

    Windshield Washer Problem

    At about 450 miles, I discovered my first problem. Windshield washer doesn't work. I made sure it was filled with fluid. I hear the pump when I push the button but no fluid squirts out. Has anyone else had this one? Any advice much appreciated.

    Why are the GT's dropping in prices when V8 Ferrari hold on?

    This has been interesting thread but it has produced a lot of overgeneralizing. Someone has already mentioned that not all drivers a given brand of car are the same. It's also true that this business of Ferrari's holding their value is overstated. That was true of the early small production...

    My New GT Arrives Tomorrow Night. Questions?

    When the engine/gearbox isn't fully warmed up, gentle double-clutching will let you slip easily into 2d gear without any forcing at all.

    Grocery Getters

    I have a 1997 Porsche C4S. It's the last of the air-cooled Porsches and to my eyes the best looking one since then -- it has a pinched waist like the our GTs. Good power, great gas mileage and with the engine directly over the rear wheels and on-demand all wheel drive it's great in sloppy...

    So did anyone ask Ford about removing the radio to install cables?

    SuperB, Can you tell me which brand/model of FM iPod transmitter you've had good results with? I've tried those before, inexpensive ones like Belkin, years ago admittedly. I'd love to have a solution that offers decent sound without messing with wiring. Others' opinions about this very...

    Origin of White/Bluestripe colors?

    Thanks to all for these interesting replies and especially the link to the miata site. BTW and just for fun, if anyone wants to see some great footage of a GT 40 in the white/blue/red colors I mentioned above, test driven at high speed on an oval track in 1966, all you have to do is 1) have...

    Origin of White/Bluestripe colors?

    Does anyone know which GT 40 teams raced under the white/blue stripe colors? I think that Ford France fielded GT 40s in Europe in the 60's wearing white/blue but also with a thin red stripe too -- French flag colors. There must be a better reason for these being offered on the modern GT. Thanks.

    Gas Tank Size and Driving Habits

    I wasn't intending to say that the fuel tank is too small, just that it creates the illusion of bad gas mileage, watching the gauge move. But I do think that at under 2,500 rpm you're rolling, not driving, which is fine on a straight freeway but not when you want any kind of handling. BTW, I...
