In the rain - NO
Dry - I never let the car get hot enough to go into limp mode - I did have to dial it back a little (less throttle & higher gear) a number of times at VIR. But that's been my experience at every track I've driven a GT on.
On a positive note- ADS in Chandler is a great shop and are very competent working on the GT. John Thompson is the service advisor to ask for. 480-961-8704
Sorry I don't have the part number guys... I have not used this battery in a GT yet. No listing for the Gt on the sears site either. I'm sure there is a compatible size- just need to get to the store and take some measurements.
A chemical reaction started by excessive heat applied to a tire & wheel assembly - :eek

Tim, I've experienced the same sort of "dust" - often times some of it is stuck on the paint & I end up using cleaner wax or bug & tar remover to clean it all off. Glad your enjoying the fastest of all the colors. ;)
Gary, AZSTAD has a "lowered" seat in his GT. Its actually just had some foam removed to make the bottom cushion shorter - no difference in comfort imo & I've spent many contiguous hours in it. Find a good upholstery shop and have them do some reshaping!
