    Lowered track suspension on my GT

    Please to god, tell me you are joking. You realise that you will totally screw that car up, if you dont have shocks on it correct? This was just to check potential install heights for custom shocks? :willy

    Possible Tire Change !!

    I get that you want me to compare the old to the new. But it is not going to be lower then the front. You would be more correct in saying "the new set up lowers the rear by 1/2 an inch more then the OLD set up" because this other stuff about the car being lower then the front, is just not...

    Possible Tire Change !!

    Correct (kind of) my good friend, here are the rolling diamiters for my recommendations: Front= 25.9 inches Rear=27.4 inchest BUT, can you believe the CAR as it stands now is WORSE then that?: Front = 26.3 Rear = 28.9 So if you are bothered by my 1/2 an inch, this Full inch has got to be...

    Wheel and tire weight, FYI

    Cool thanks !! Dont suppose you have a photo of it? I ask because that same control arm may be in the way of a wider rear tire. Thanks. Jon

    Possible Tire Change !!

    Thanks 1 of 101 . But I still stick by my assessment, I believe its correct. The tires that are on the Ford GT right now up front are the SMALLEST allowable size, per tire rack for a 9.5 inch rim. Where as my suggestion is a hair bit more the the LARGEST allowable size. This same deal of...

    Possible Tire Change !!

    Hey Guys, So as I watched more snow fall in Chicago the other day, I thought how painful this process is of waiting for good weather until I buy my GT. But, it gave me some time to think about both of the weaknesses I keep hearing about the GT, the braking and the handling, relative to the...

    Track skins

    So what about going larger? Anyone done the calculations, and checked tire availability? I have run all sorts of times on my viper, and I actually prefer the Michellen Pilot Sports. So what pilot sports will fit best on the stock rims? Here is a cool tool, to make sure you stay with the same...

    Wheel and tire weight, FYI

    You would be correct, I for some reason was measuring the tire weights as the wheel weights. My bad, I concur, the weight saving advantage is in fact 32.2 lbs, even better !! :biggrin Jon PS. I am revisting these posts, because I want to see what the largest size tire we can put on the...

    lol on the spinners.. Next thing you know, his car will be in the Fast and Fuzzy 3, "pimps strike back". Sorry, to each his own, but neon went out (if in fact it was ever IN), back in the early 90's. Jon

    MSRP from local dealer on "06" good deal???

    MSRP is the norm now. Anyone who takes 2 seconds to call a couple of dealers will be able to get that on the Tungsten Grey ones, let alone the other colors that have two years of production. I'd try to work them at least 1 or 2k below sticker... but like someone else is saying, at least you...

    Whats a good price on 2006 Gray GT?

    Well, lets not get too crazy, members pay $100 a year in dues, and supposedly only $50 of it goes to the local club. So Chrysler does do an excellent job supporting us, but we do a pretty decent job of supporting ourselves too. Also thanks to the other two posts, I received another call...

    Whats a good price on 2006 Gray GT?

    Yes, admitedly ViperClub and Dodge have partnered very well. We have a very tight nitt club, and most people know each other, or know of each other. Its really a family feel, we even have our black sheeps (like me). I would love to See Ford step up and support a formal Ford GT car club, and...

    Whats a good price on 2006 Gray GT?

    Steve, I did blend my response. It was to address a number of the posts that came after mine. (notice how I didnt address it to you, like this one does) Like I said, I didnt get my feelings hurt, I was explaining the perspective I have on the situation. I still like my analagy on coffee...
