    Pickens are getting slim....

    I called DC Motors where it appeared on AT before I found my Black/Silver. Phantom car, not at the dealer and you can't get any information and no one will call you back!

    March 5 Cars & Coffee in Irvine

    Arrived at 6:40 and got one of the last spots in back! The Pantera club had a nice showing with 40-50 cars. Health Department shut down the coffee service for some bureaucratic reason, they've been selling coffee there for years. I went into a caffeine withdrawal and left after about an hour...

    So.... anybody ready to start talking about alternative gauges for the FGT?

    Shelbyelite, I agree the gauges are all problematic so that is issue number one. My question was more, will a better quality gauge solve the problem within the OEM engineered wiring without carving up the wiring loom. Too many times in electronics the simple answer is the not the long term...

    So.... anybody ready to start talking about alternative gauges for the FGT?

    I'm a new GT owner but have been following this thread thinking this is isolated in seeing some of the posts, when WHAM my boost gauge went out this week. I check the service records and it seems that the volt meter was replaced in '09. Two gauge failures in the same car and I've owned over 50...

    Another New Happy Owner

    Thanks HHGT, I didn't find any straw wrappers under the passenger seat, so I appreciate keeping the car pristine.

    Another New Happy Owner

    Hi All, I'm the new owner of Jeff's (youngceo) 05 Black /Silver. I've been lurking here for two years and looking for the right car for the last 8 months and found it 25 miles from my house. What a pleasure to deal with a real car guy who appreciates cars the way I do. If any of you are looking...

    Clear Bra

    Sounds like you had the older generation film. It was easier to install but chemicals, sap and bird droppings would dull the vinyl it as you described. The newest 3M clear bra vinyl which is really Venture film (3M bought Venture) doesn't have that short comings and looks great provided you...

    Ford GT vs. Lambo Gallardo: Battle of the Supercars on Sept 9

    Yes. FGT 8.33 seconds. Gallardo 11.25 seconds. I've run at El Toro at DE events and the runway is pretty slippery as it concrete, dust and dirt, mostly dust as Tanner mentioned he was spinning his tires on the mile run at a 100 mph. Hoosers helped in 0-100-0 for the FGT which are good for...

    First Annual Mojave Mile Event

    It's at Willow Springs Raceway which is west of the 14 about 4 miles. Check in at the front gate and they'll be happy to sell you 91, 100, or 110. Credit card swipe at the pump.

    Anyone have lap times...

    Anyone have lap times...

    Fast I think the Saleen will kill the Enzo at Willow with your proposed mods, reason is ground effects on the Enzo don't do well on rough or bumpy surfaces. Why hasn't someone run an Enzo at Nurburgring? Too bumpy at least thats what the racers are saying in europe. As for the times, 1;23's...

    Anyone have lap times...

    kj, I dunno, Dodge and team Viper turned out a lot of race proven stuff which is easier to build on rather then doing it yourself, having done that. I'm thinking a Viper competition coupe with a little more hp and some aero aids (big wing) might be close to Fast Freddy idea. I think Ford had...

    Anyone have lap times...

    Those are race car times. A factory Porsche GT3RSR will run sub 1:20's but that is an out and out race car. Huge difference between street car modified vs. real race car. A FGT would need to loose at least 500-600 lbs, improve the down force, along with suspension and slicks. Power isn't the...

    Anyone have lap times...

    New to the board, but not WSIR. Had a friends GT on private track day, best, high 1:34-1:35's. With more seat time I believe maybe 1:33's but it wasn't my car to thrash. R tires and a good alignment would help. I'm amazed at all the cars capable of running sub 1:30's stock. Stock...
