    Anyone in San Diego, CA willing to drive my car?

    My clutch felt really weird for a long time. Plus I was never sure when I was in reverse or first, so I probably had a few third gear launches. Plus a smoke smell when I took off quick. Seem to have settled down now that I have a thousand miles on the car.

    GT Sets benchmark time in Car and Driver

    The problem with the C & D thing is that the cars might have used different drivers. That makes a huge difference. Also, if they go back to the track and everything is not exactly the same, the results are worthless. Top Gear does a similar thing on their runway with "stig" (fictional driver so...

    Question from potential buyer re: traction / stability control

    Nothing like pulling out in front of traffic and stepping on it to have your throttle cut and brakes applied. Lots of fun. Now on a dirt road, or in snow or rain, it actually makes sense. Mustang has it but so far haven't really noticed it like my truck which has almost killed me several...

    New Foose GT Edition

    All of Foose cars paint look the same to me. Silver body, black or some other color on top. Pretty much the Prowler tuxedo edition. Works on some cars, but after a while it gets old. He needs to come up with a new signature look.

    Radar Detector-What's Good?

    I use the Escort Solo S2 cordless as the cords are way too much hassle. I drive from Havasu to Orange county way to often. Wide open desert two lanes or 4 lane highways. I don't think it has saved me even once. In construction traffic, did not pick up a constant signal from a parked cop car 50...

    OEM Tires

    Be very very carefull with stickier tires. Every single pebble on the road will be tossed into your paint by track tires. How sticky these street hoosiers are I do not know, but I know the ones I used 5 years ago did this. When you go racing some people will often put duct tape (colored) on the...

    What would you spend?

    I would spend 100k or so. So tired of having fast cars and not being able to use them. Worse, I live 30 minutes from Fords high speed track (NW Arizona) but I don't think they would let me on it....

    Reliable put 2 stone chips in my GT. How?

    They were not there when I dropped it at the Canton Mi depot. If they did not drive it, how did the chips get on the car. They are right in front of the rear tire. One enclosed transport from Michigan to Lake Havasu. I noticed them at 4am so there is no way the two check in guys and myself would...

    Ford GT Dealer Book - why so expensive?!?

    I just got one with the new 2005 GT. Not really impressed. Number one, you better wear gloves as the pages are all black and show marks even if your hands are very clean. Number two, seemed almost exactly like the brochure, just in a different format.

    Is it stupid...

    I bought a Viper R/T with never having been in the car. Bought a GTS the same way. And I bought the Ford GT with only having seen them in the autoshow. No regrets. My head hits the roof almost but I sit with the seat more vertical then most. Your not going to know the cars character until you...
