I bought an 05 back in August and the car had sat on the showroom floor for about seven months. The battery was dead and was replaced before they delivered the car to me. They acutually put in a temp replacement until they got one that said Ford GT on it. No problems in the last 4.5 months.

I wonder if Home Depot sells a buffer like that? If so, I may go and snatch one. Ahem.

Hi Steve, I own an SPF MKIII. When I bought the MKIII I strongly considered the SPF Coupe. I emailed with Peter Brock a number of times and finally went for the MKIII just because I had always wanted a Cobra Roadster. I think Brock's SPF Coupe is outstanding. First, it is a high quality...

Blue masking tape glue residue Larry, it left very little if any glue. It's the kind of tape that's easy on and off and used for painting. I sometimes use it to put under the rag top on the SPF, so I felt pretty sure it wouldn't harm the GT. I gotta get some paint protection or bra on the...

Good morning guys, I thought you all might enjoy a video of my local car club's trip to Lexington KY this past summer. Many different makes (Healey, Porsche, Lambo, Ferrari, Cobra, and of course Ford). My son-in-law is in my SPF Cobra, and I am in the red FGT. I had just gotten the GT and I...

Sorry you guys are having this much trouble with your dealers. I am lucky I guess. I mentioned the potentional problem, and they said they had information on it, and would cover it under warranty - a preventative repair. They ordered the bolts, drilled them, replaced and safety wired them...

On my 05 (1490), there is a narrow piece of tape in the same location as you identified. I looked at possible contact areas, didn't see any. So I removed it. So far no rubbed paint.

Same here.

Jeff, or someone, explain ROT. What does it mean in terms of production process? Is the number located anywhere other than the yellow sheet that KMCBOSS refers to? Thanks

Great idea Texas GT! I have thought about this, but always forgot to ask. The names on my 2005, #1490 are: Doug Deemer and J. Donovan So guys, if you do indeed exist, here's to you!

Kayvan, I think I know the answer to my question, but if you are correct, I wonder if the upgrade would apply to a new 2005 that I bought in August of 2006, thus past the 7/22 deadline you mention? (And yes it was ropped off and in pristine condition when I bought it, lol.) I really doubt it...

These would make great museum items. It's a shame.

"Engineers been trained to think focused. Simply put Frank - if it's built as originally designed, it would never break (intention). Then the cost cutting come's into the picture, offshore suppliers and we end up with a Focus." And a leaking power steering pump! Don't care; I drove mine...

You have to remove the panels to see it unless it's leaking enough that it flows onto the top side of the panel on the passenger side. I just looked at mine and I can see a small line of oil where it has been leaking. This looks like a power steering pump supplier issue to me. From the...

Same minor leak as well Yes I found the same leak today when I changed the oil. I tightened the bolts holding the assembly and one tighted up a little. I will have the dealer check it and replace it if it is still leaking when I take it in to have another oil leak repaired (axle half shaft...

An unusual comment from a young woman at McDonalds I stopped at a McDonalds on the way back from Lexington, KY to Bowling Green. I parked the car in an empty lot next door. I looked out the window ten minutes later. There were 20 (I counted) teens and early 20 year olds hovering around the...

GT Joey: Man have you got it right! Most all those thoughts have been nagging at me ever since the license and property tax bills arrived last Thursday! Purchase tax, 6% of 90% of MSRP = $8,500, and an annual rate of .01417 of market value for license renewal = $2,000 or so. Or, another way...

With very little persuasion, I could probably help with that frost bite issue...

Thanks for posting the data, very instructive.
