    top speed reached in GT so far.

    I'm positive that I was in 5th gear CP! I'll have to monitor my shift points (mph) and tach next time I get a chance to open her up...

    top speed reached in GT so far.

    EE is that true? I'm very sure that when I backed out of the car @ 175 the tach was reading around 6000-6200. Do you think I had 30 mph or so left @ that rpm in that gear?

    top speed reached in GT so far.

    Hit 175 this past Sunday and backed out of it. The car was incredibly stable with very positive feedback (no float/lift sensations). I wanted to go faster but I ran out of room. When you are not in a controled atmosphere it's a little scary @ that speed. Still had all of 6th gear left (I was in...

    The Alphabet of How I Purchased My GT

    Doc, if things don't work out in your current profession (which obviously they have), I can get you a gig in any comedy club in New York! You've got a good attitude. AZGT, great one liner... P.S. Doc-because what would a lemon be? :biggrin back to the lawn chair... P.S.S. Sorry Bony, did not...

    Tips on washing the GT

    :cheers Congrat Derry! I dry wash my GT. If it has a lot of dust on it I'll blow it off with an air compresser and then wipe it down with a lightly soaped chamois then wipe it down again with a warm water (no soap) chamois. Maybe I'm crazy but it works for me! I then dry it with those micro...

    Clutch chatter

    You make a good point! I'm an Acura dealer and have been selling NSX's since day one but never once had this issue! I agree with the power difference but in retrospect do you agree that for the price of the GT that if Ford new this could be an inherint problem they would have stepped it up on...

    Clutch chatter

    When I slide/feather the clutch and work it with throttle I can get it to launch smoothly everytime but if I'm a little to quick with it I get chatter. My catch point is also high glord but I would just attribute that to original set up. I'm probably being paranoid because my '02 Viper when new...

    Clutch chatter

    Hey guys, has anybody experienced intermittent clutch chatter? My car has about 580 miles on it and seems to have this issue on occasion and has had since day one. I haven't pinpointed the reason yet and I know it's not me. I'm going to gauge the driving cycles (around town, stop and go etc.)...

    Count me back in!

    :cheers Sounds like a beauty! What's the build time Dan? I see that you're in Illinois so I'd like to see you get the car ASAP so you can enjoy the summer and fall seasons. Best of luck once she arrives! BD40

    Shelby selling GT40 replicas now

    Very true statement! I almost bought one (wasn't real comfortable in the cockpit) but the car was a little to crude/harsh for what I wanted. I've mentioned in this thread that I think SF is right on with their clones and you're correct in saying give credit where it's due. Check out the gallery...

    Thanks AtomicGT! I'm going to take some side by side photos next to my Tungsten GT. My Cobra has been in my trailer since I got the GT so I'm anxious to see how close the color is out in the sunlight! It will be very close I can tell you that!!!

    Bony, very well done you saved me a lot of typing! :biggrin Atomic, I appreciate your passion for the Shelby name and rightfully so, the guy is an icon. In the same breath don't give him all the credit. His hand in taking the AC and putting in the Ford drivetrain is the stuff history is made...

    My GT Arrived Tonight!!! What a day!!

    It "feels" great. The shift action is very NSX-like, which is the best compliment in the world. Congratulations and great job documenting the delivery! I have the same car but with the grey calipers. It must of been exciting waiting for the arrival, I bought mine off the showroom floor so...
