    My GT is plastic coated

    I just had Modern Image in San Diego cover the entire front of my GT with 3M's latest plastic product. I mean even the fenders and hood. They also applied it to the leading edge of the roof, side air ducts, side mirrors, the entire rocker panels up to the Ford GT decal, behind the rear wheels...

    Buy 2007 Porsche 997 Twin Turbo or Second GT

    What about an SL65 I have owned a 993 Turbo and a 996 Turbo. My daily driver now blows them all away. More comfort, faster, better looking....my opinion and the top goes down. May not do the corners as well but it's pretty damn good and we are talking mid 11's in the quarter. From 60-150 it may...

    Ford GT Prices website

    Perhaps a worthy charity? The $50 was a nice gesture but perhaps we could all get behind a worthy charity in the Forum's name instead and centerpunch could pick it.

    1154 Horsepower in my garage!!!

    Tire Pressure Is 32 pounds ideal? They checked the tires during the delivery inspection but it was after I had driven the car. A couple of tires measured 36 lbs b so he reduced them to 32 lbs, even though they were warm. I bet you are correct, however doesn't more air pressure make a car's ride...

    1154 Horsepower in my garage!!!

    Well I have been cruising this forum for months, going back and forth as to whether to buy a GT. Initially the negatives (you owners all know them so need to regurgitate) were tipping the scale in the wrong direction, but when I finally found a blue car at MSRP, within 100 miles of where I live...

    Demographics Revisited

    While most of your comments to my original question were a bit on the harsh side..... I am still here. I just consider the source :wink I have been reading about the GT on this forum for a while and here is my take...in a nut shell: 1) The car is drop dead gorgeous. It will be impossible to...

    Demographics?

    I asked these questions because I was on the edge and only trying to get a sense of what kind of people own Ford GTs. My previous experience has been with Porsche and Ferrari owners. I have read quite a few "put downs" by the members of this forum on Ferrari owners, but your glib answers to my...

    Demographics?

    Looking to see if I might be a "good fit" with other owners as there are often social events etc. Why the problem with these innocuous questions?

    Do You Think Having No Stripe Lowers The Appeal In Resale?

    I am saving $15K including the stripe savings I think the car looks better with the stripe but I probably can get one painted for a lot less than $15K. I have already decided to take the plunge though. Personally, I think the car looks pretty "bad" without the stripe. It has the side stripe...

    Getting Ready to Pull the Trigger

    I am a day or so away from buying a Midnight Blue '06 GT. I have never driven the car, only sat in it for a brief moment. Have driven and owned many exotics. Daily driver is an SL65. Is the lack of storage space, poor visability, lack of seat adjustment (can't raise it) and service issues (Ford...
