Just checked the registry and Abolfaz's car is VIN# 1516, so my car MAY be impacted. Eric

Well we know it happend to Abolfaz's car. ABOLFAZ: What VIN is your car? My car is '05, VIN# 1712. That is probably late '05 but not very, very late...I hope. Eric

Excellent post and great research, Bart.

I'm wondering if Ford should issue a TSB or recall for this issue. Halfshafts loosening themselves and falling out can be a traumatic experience, expecially if one is far from home when it happens. Although I have no reason to believe my GT has this problem, I am tempted to ask the dealer to...

Ahh yes, the southern United States: Where the men are men, and the guns are easy to get! :biggrin

GTx, No, not yet. I am considering it though. Please see this thread for more info and pictures: http://www.fordgtforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2143 Eric

Ford manual says Motorcraft 5w50 full synthetic or EQUIVALENT. You can get Castrol fully synthetic Syntec 5w50 at Wal-Mart for $5.52 a quart... Eric

American sports cars tend to have long clutch lives relative to European sports cars. Part of this is due to the fact American cars tend to have more torque and require less clutch slippage to get moving. Part is cultural: Americans love to hammer the clutch doing burnouts, drag racing and...

CTx, The Accufab pipe is only $1,499, $1,200 less than the other muffler you are citing. Do you feel that it (the Accufab) wont meet your needs? Eric

GTx, That would definately get you the "noise" you are looking for at a low cost. There should also be some weight savings. However, the relatively large muffler will still impede cooling air exit from the rear of the car. Eric

FordGTguy, The GT WON the 0-100-0 test as well. There really was no overall "ranking" per se. They did say the Viper was the best American car at the track and the Ferrari the best European at the track. Keep in mind the GT was the same red press car that has been BEAT to Hell over the last...

My understanding is there IS an internal pump for this transaxle. This pump is NOT shown in the shop manual (indeed no internals of the transaxle are shown in the shop manual) because the transaxle is meant to be serviced as a "package" (i.e., if repair is needed, the dealer just removes it and...

Average seems to be $250. Six hundred dollars is WAY too expensive. Eric

Ford GT in September Road & Track September issue of Road & Track has a feature that pits the American sports cars (Viper, Z06 and GT) Against the best from Europe (Gallardo, new 911 Turbo and the F430). The resutls are too comprehensive for me to list here, but the GT had the best 1/4 mile...

I was there and stayed for about 90 mins. Sorry I missed you Piccola, I would have loved to meet you. And I really missed my friend Kirby I was happy to finally meet Bill though. The Black F355 is Bill's and it is in excellent condition. It is also for sale so if anyone is interested they...

Congratulations on your new Heritage GT! Please post pics when you get a chance. Eric

75w90 Full Synthetic. I used Mobil 1. Eric

Thanks for the kind words Nota4re. I like to save money when I can and when it is prudent. Next thing I want to do is replace that big honkin' muffler with something that will lower the engine bay temps but without rattling my teeth or giving me a headache (highway drone). By the way, that...
