Well he did say he feels like it's his birthday!

Cool story. We sure go to a lot of work to impress girls.

Well, the industry standard 15% difference between crank hp and wheel hp might not be the same in a RWD mid-engine application like the GT. No drive shafts to soak up power like in a front engine RWD vehicle. I don't know if 660 would be a good crank hp rating, but it would certainly be...

Indeed they were. It certainly was not the first time a Ford engine has been under-rated. The 03-04 Cobras were rated at 390hp but most were turning 420 at least. Remember, the early press information for the GT said 500hp. Maybe they should have bumped it up a little more than "just" 50hp...

I am almost certain that the blue stripe is Sonic Blue. It was a pretty popular color for Ford during the early 2000's. The paint code is SN

:thumbsupMy calendar arrived today. Thanks Dave and Camilo. Merry Christmas! It's even better than the last one!

Order placed yesterday! I was missing the 2011 calendar. Looking forward to 2012 now! Thanks Dave and Camilo!

I live in the Midway area of St. Paul. I'm decades away from ownership, but do my best to live vicariously through the good people on the Forum. MNJason is pretty close to you. His GT is beautiful. Hope to see you at the next Cars and Coffee (or maybe in the spring).:thumbsup

Welcome! Where in MN are you located? There are several owners in the Twin Cities area.

After watching GTJoey's interview with Jay Leno this morning I've been poking around Jay's website. I know there are a lot of history and aviation buffs on the Forum. Jay's segment on the P-51 Mustang is well done and worth 15 minutes...

Jason, have you looked around for a salvage piece? I know X2 Collision on Ebay deals with a lot of GT's. I hope this is an isolated incident. I know your car doesn't have a lot of miles, but there are lots of cars with more miles and no reported problems? Trying to find a salvage piece might...

Awesome shots. I love the one where you can just see the outline of the shape. Can't wait to see the new car at the next C&C!

Wow. Excellent post! Thank-you for sharing!

Congratulations! Enjoy the car while you still can as cold weather is coming. Watch out for those chilly mornings. To paraphrase another member awhile back..."This ain't no Yugo."

That guy is awesome. I bet those 24 beers don't stay cold for long in the front. Also, 9 sets of tires in 40,000 miles? He gets tires every oil change?!

A damn shame. Glad no one was hurt.

That's where the local cars and coffee is held. First Saturday of every month.

Got my book yesterday. WOW! This is the new gold standard for automotive publications. I don't think there will be a GT book that eclipses this one. My sincere thanks to Joey and Marcie for all of their hard work. This book is a gem.

Found another one. They sure aren't cheap. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FORD-GT-40-EXTRUDED-ALUMINUM-/150587474620?pt=Motors_Manuals_Literature&hash=item230fb682bc

I'll chime in here as one who is on the other side of ownership. Every GT owner I've met was a true example of a "salt of the earth" person. I've gotten closer to these amazing cars than I ever thought possible, but only because of the true kindness of owners. I even have one, if not two...
