    Transaxle Fix?

    This is confusing. Mat says they did (can) replicate the problem: "As you can understand the Accufab bolts came up. They have not been tested and I wouldn't expect them to. Ford will supply a fix to the problem that they certify. They have tested their fix and and can replicate the problem...

    Any one like this with there GT?

    Me too, but still not a good spot because some nimrod will park right next to it and slam a door into the side. See, even when when joking about this neurosis I can't stop!

    What happens when warranty expires?

    Out of curiosity, does anyone know if Jay Leno ever checks in on this forum? No real reason for asking other than celebrity worship!

    What did Ford gain by building the FGT?

    Well done Steve. Well done. No need for smacking as far as I am concerned.

    What did Ford gain by building the FGT?

    Well, I will agree with some of you, Ford also won me over with the Ford GT. It is only the second Ford I have ever owned. The first one was a 1956 Ford Victoria that my dad gave me on my 16th birthday. That was 1966, and I didn't want the car (stupid me, but those were the sixties, and...

    What did Ford gain by building the FGT?

    Thanks Dave. I am glad they chose the FGT to celebrate, but they had to have some level of gut enthusiasm for the car, as they might have chosen one of their other iconic cars as well, don't you think?

    What did Ford gain by building the FGT?

    I just received the Discovery Channel DVD, Rebuilding a Race Car Legend: Ford GT. I watched it and am still in "shock and awe" over this car. I just had to go out to the garage and sit in it and reflect on the DVD, the history, and the art all around me. In doing this, I wondered, "What did Ford...

    Mileage Update- How many miles are on your FGT?

    You are right. I will keep tabs on the thread, as I started a database with the numbers we have. It's easy to update. I don't know what it means or what the effort is worth, just interesting to see. I guess I don't want to lead the way in high mileage or bring up the rear either. Good old middle...

    Will the forum support YouTube posts as Club Cobra does?

    Just tried it, and I guess not. It's a nice little work around.

    Props to Ford

    Steve, Did all this start as a result of the battery charger, you know a comedy of errors type of thing? Anyway, I agree with the rest, it was really good of Ford to think outside the warranty box.

    How is this done? I click on manage attachments, choose one from the computer, and when it attempts to download, I just get a blank page. Is size or storage an issue? Thanks

    Oh My-The GT Gods were with me today!

    I have done this. I killed two at once, and flipped one into an 18 wheeler just behind me. There were about five trying to make it across the highway, just at dawn and just behind a hill. No chance for me or the deer to react. I wasn't in the FGT, but a 1990 Honda Accord, going about 65 MPH...
