    Are zero-stripe cars ever available?

    Mine is tungsten with no painted stripes and with side stripe delete. Why NO stripes? I'd rather the cops think it's some kind of fiberglass body VW, like the Bradley GT, and leave me alone. Also no Mac because I don't hear well enough to tell the difference. Got painted grey calipers...

    Canadian Bumpers

    An article in the October 9 issue of AutoWeek says there are 3656 US GT's, 277 for Canada, and 105 for Europe, for a total of 4038. But the surprising thing is that they say the Canadian cars have "slightly different bumpers to meet Canadian regulations." The Ford parts manual lists only one...

    Why do people sell their GTs?

    Bought it to drive it. The most I could lose is about $150K. Would only sell it if I was out of food, clothing, and shelter. But don't ask my wife the same question....

    Warranty

    I need to correct myself (I do it all the time): I have spoken with the Ford Motor Credit (Administrator of the ESP) Regional Rep, and he admits the loophole that the Ford GT is NOT listed as ineligible. But they close the loophole by saying that the model is not listed in the PRICE BOOK, so...

    Mats available

    Has anyone seen what Ford lists as "Accessory Mats?" Different part numbers for left and right. Are they an accessory, or just a repeat of what's already in the car?

    Mac Delete Question

    I think the standard radio is still a MacIntosh, but without the door tweeters, sub-woofer, and amplifier. I did not get the optional radio because I didn't like the intrusive sub-woofer (a la Viper) and I can't hear worth-a-shit anyway. An old L88 Corvette didn't even have a radio available....

    Pegging the Trends of Collectibility

    In my opinion.... Barrett-Jackson is bringing what I call smart-stupid money: The buyer has to be smart enough to HAVE money, and stupid enough to spend it on a special car (or boat, or house, or hooker, or whatever). I optioned my incoming GT with the painted calipers ONLY. It's Tungsten...

    FORD GT PARTS QUESTION

    Try your friendly neighborhood Ford dealer. The parts catalog is up-to-date, and reasonable accurate. Be prepared to pre-pay for special orders, which may be non-returnable. Isn't yours still under warranty?

    Introduction and a question: Why the Ford GT?

    My last supercar was a '69 Camaro LS6 (454/450). I've worked on and driven the Viper Mark I (it's a BEAST) and the new 7-litre Vette (surprisingly ho-hum). I checked out the Ferraris, Masers, Lambos, etc. at Penske in Vegas. Bottom line: If your Euro car breaks (and it will), who's gonna fix it?

    500 mile computer limitations? Myth?

    The Quick Reference Guide (You should have gotten that, too. Tell your dealer that it's available, as is the owners manual, as a pdf download in the ford dealer website) says, "The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) strategy contains a feature to limit supercharger boost pressure and engine speed...

    Clutch/transaxle rattle

    The old Muncy M22 "rock crusher" trans in Chevy muscle-cars (mine was a '69 Z/28) had awful rollover noise. The reason was the straight-cut gears instead of the helical gears in the M21. It has to have clearance for all the reasons above (aluminum case, etc.), but the M22 was MUCH stronger...

    End of the GT

    I spoke with a super stealth secret contact at Saleen, who said that all of the GTs had been finished at Saleen and sent to Wixom. '06 #1827 is complete and quality-checked at Wixom, awaiting shipment to the dealer. I'm trying to get Ford to release it to Reliable Carriers. I don't know how...

    Key-less entry?

    There should be two key fobs with the lock/unlock buttons included. Go yell at your dealer. If you want the "door code buttons," they are also available as an accessory. They stick on with two-sided tape, anywhere on the outside of the car that you want. You can even program them with your...
