    What should come with a new GT purchase?

    A happy association indeed. I agree. They have been very helpful, and so far I can't complain one bit. All I have found so far was the hood which didn't align to suit me, but I took it back and they aligned it, and showed me what they did to adjust it. When I was explaining the problem to the...

    Clutch/transaxle rattle

    Clutch Rattle in neutral Whenever we changed to an aluminum flywheel with the C4 Corvettes (ZF transmission), this rattle occured. It sounds like a failed throwout bearing, but it's just the nature of the beast. It only occurs when in neutral. Maybe this is similar? I just pm'd Paul, but I...

    Small number of Owners

    I think it is very civil too; if this were CC, many of us first timers would already be taking a hike. I think the participation is down on CC, and I think this is the reason. I really appreciate the courtesy shown to me when I was asking questions about the quality problems with the cars as...

    Aluminum body Cobra kit car.

    OK, let me throw in a plug for you to consider: Superformance MKIII (Cobra). They come into the states complete, and I do mean complete. They have glass bodies. All you have to add is the engine and transmission. And these can be added by many installers in about two days. Dyanamic...

    Ford GT Hotline... What a Joke!

    After production ends...then what? After the production ends, will the help line also end? I would think it would need to exist until at least 2010 (last car produced and sold, warranty and all that). Any thoughts or knowledge of Ford's plan? This forum may indeed be our last real "self help"...

    Rear Diffuser Alignment

    Are the diffusers at the rear supposed to be level with the ground or are they supposed to have a slight curvature, like a smile when looking at the car from the rear? No big deal, just curious if I needed to have them straightened or not.

    Ford GT vs Corvette Z06

    Bill, Well done, and very instructive. By the way, we met briefly in London at the Cobra event while you were waitng in line for the "cone racing." I mentioned I had been considering a GT and you said you had one on order. Looks like we both came through. I love the car, and am still in love...

    Pics of my New ride

    I know I am in the minority, but I like the Ford GT stock. I pity the poor guy who has to take it back to original a few years from now...he will want to wring your neck! And you CUT the bumpers....damn man, what are you thinking? Your car for sure, but you posted for an opinion, so that's mine.

    Front Trunk Installation

    You may have to remove the fender splash shields instead. First, I highly recommend getting your hands on the Ford Workshop Manual. Anyway, you will first have to remove the wheel. This will allow you to remove the fender splash shield which should give you the access you need. The fender...

    If you need a copy of the hardcover that came with the car...

    Thanks, I ask because I talked with my dealer (I bought the car on August 11th) about the book. They said they had heard of such a book but one did not come with the car when they received it. They said they would look for one. My impression from the posts here is that it was a hit and miss...
