    Ford GT coldline

    Sorry Jamie. My mistake. I guess I have just seen this topic debated to no end, and truthfully, as an SPF owner, I guess I was somewhat defensive as well.

    Ford GT coldline

    At the risk of highjacking this thread, I hope this debate doesn't bleed into the Ford GT forum. We have Club Cobra for that.

    Ford GT coldline

    I think my Ford GT is sold pending a repair of the current glitches. Selling the GT is probably the best thing at this point of your unhappiness with the car. Fortunately for me, I have not had gotten to this level of dissatisfaction, and plan to keep my Ford GT for as long as possible...

    Beautiful day!

    Cold and wet here in KY Well it was cold and rainy here in Bowling Green, Kentucky. So the GT and the SPF MKIII sat in the garage. But I met 20 other car guys for our monthly breakfast anyway and talked about what else, cars, Iraq, and prices on used Porsches. It was a good day and I agree...

    Help I am locked out of my GT

    Dead battery replaced before delivery For what it's worth, I bought a new 05 that sat for seven months on the dealer's showroom floor. The battery was flat, and the dealer tried to charge it, but it wouldn't hold the charge. So they replaced it with a new battery before I took delivery. I...

    Tiny Bubbles ....not the Don Ho kind though

    To repaint toward perfection or remain original, that is the question. That sure looks like contaminated paint known as "fisheye" where the contaminant causes the paint to separate. It is a result of poor surface preparation. As to repainting versus maintaining originality, that's up to your...

    No Mac?

    Like the sound, don't like the look, but that's the way it came, that's the way it will stay.

    Tiny Bubbles ....not the Don Ho kind though

    Are they "fisheye" spots, indicating oil contamination in the paint, or do they look like blisters in the clear coat? Can you take a detailed picture and attach it? I have some paint defects at the edge of the rear wheel clam shell where the paint ran just a tiny bit, but nothing I would correct.

    New twist to halfshaft problem...replacement parts availability?

    How many miles on your GT?

    This may have been asked on the forum, but at this point, how long have you owned your GT, and how many miles are on it? I have owned mine for ten weeks and it has 1,500 miles. Thanks in advance for any input.

    Getting GT Heritage....do I tune or leave stock?

    Stuart you probably know the answer. If I were that buyer in the future, and I wanted a stock FGT, I would also want it unmolested, even though I know it would probably be just fine. So, if resale of a stock FGT is your objective, my vote is to leave it stock. Or be willing to take a little...
