    I also have the AWE, and yes, it's loud enough to wake the dead. That includes the residents of the neighboring counties.

    CONCLUDING THOUGHTS The Exotic Factor Both the CGT and the GT epitomize what most people would call “exotic” cars. But have you ever stopped and thought about what that term actually means in this context? Webster’s definition serves quite well: “that which is strikingly, excitingly, or...

    Owner Review: Porsche Carrera GT vs. Ford GT Part 1 of 4

    Owner Review; Part 3 of 4 4. HANDLING I’ve written before about my favorite Arizona canyon drive, down White Spar Road, through Peeples Valley and down Yarnell Hill (home of the recently tragic wildfire). I have used this road to compare all the cars I’ve owned, and it has given me a pretty...

    Part 2 2. ENGINES Carrera GT The CGT engine is far and away the most extroverted and charismatic engine I’ve ever experienced. I say this for three reasons: First, because of the race-car way the engine revs. Second, because of its explosive power delivery, and third, because of the...

    Owner Review: Porsche Carrera GT vs. Ford GT Part 1 of 4

    OWNER REVIEW: FORD GT vs. PORSCHE CARRERA GT. Part 1 of 4 As a wise man once said, “I've spent a bunch of money on cars. The rest has been wasted.” With that truism ringing in my head, I was recently fortunate to find an immaculate and virtually new Porsche Carrera GT. I bought the car...

    The Mayor and others we know "discussing" Ford vs. Fcars resale values.

    Ford GT Forum = a bunch of great car guys sharing their enthusiasm FerrariChat = a few great car guys sharing their enthusiasm, and a bunch of other guys sharing their dysfunction. Relentlessly.

    Whoa Nelly, Didn't See This One Coming...

    AtomicGT, I'm down in the valley, Orem/Lindon area. Yes, good eye! It was the Sinclair station. I had a blast driving down Provo Canyon to my place. Drop me a line if you are in town!

    First Drive

    Perfect summation of the first drive. Certainly distinguishes the experience from driving a Camry, doesn't it? Thanks for the great post.

    Whoa Nelly, Didn't See This One Coming...

    So I was minding my own business in GT Mecca (Jonesboro) looking at buying that lovely blue GT that Shelby had for sale. My innocent intent was to add another GT to the stable, for as we all know, one is simply not enough. I was then, quite literally, assaulted by a carbon fiber harlot...

    Detroit GT Garage Mahal

    DBK, I had the distinct pleasure of visiting Shelby at Elite a couple of days ago, and I was admiring a very beautiful white GT. Looked brand new! I was amazed to learn that it was your car. They do nice things to GTs in Jonesboro. More details to follow on the stealth purpose of my trip...

    October Mojave Magnum anyone?

    Guys, I plan to be there in both my GT and a special project car that I want to bust 200 in. I guess I don't need to remind everyone THAT I WENT 210 LAST TIME. Can't wait to spool it up again. I think I'm going with Hoosiers this time. It will be great to see some of the GT crowd there.

    Folks getting twisted up on the Ferrari forums

    You may not be able to compare Ford and Ferrari, but we 'mericans sure do have fun trying. I'm lucky enough to have both the 458 and the GT, and trying to identify the differences is one of my favorite tasks. Its tough work, but someone's gotta do it. And since we are on the subject of Ford...

    Folks getting twisted up on the Ferrari forums

    Your point is well taken, and I agree that most, if not all, of Ferrari owners I meet in person are great guys. I think the gripe central to this thread is the unpleasant tone one encounters on FCHAT. I'm sure that a lot of this is related to the anonymity of the internet and the fact that some...
