    Ford GT and The P. GT 2

    Sounds good, as mentioned I have the 996 GT2. I just realized you’re not far from me at all. We should definitely meet up. I would love to see your GT. Not sure about the trackday’s as I am due back in the US mid May but I will let you know, maybe.

    Ford GT and The P. GT 2

    Agree completely....great post (your clearly a man of great taste as your forum name is the same as my...and I suspect your...license plate :thumbsup) The 997 turbo GT3/GT3 RS and GT2 all have different abilities. They are all great cars in their own right. I'd like to also add the point that...

    Ford GT and The P. GT 2

    I think the truth is an average driver can't handle the power and performance of a GT2. A NA GT3 is a lot easier to drive but still a great car and loads of fun. I feel the reason the 996 wasn’t such a success is because the majority of the people buying them really had no clue how to drive...

    Ford GT and The P. GT 2

    Great story!! :thumbsup I too own a 996 GT2 it’s an 04 and I've had it from new it has a remap and a few other bits and it is VERY quick. I would NEVER sell!! I'm sure it’s a little quicker then my stock GT but I have never tried a race or timing. Have you anymore pictures of the 997 GT2's...

    Cringe worthy Carrera GT flat-bed loading

    Reminds me of when I picked up my GT, I was 500 miles from home with a trailer and found one of the loading ramps was missing! So we had to make one from a pair of fold up car ramps and building bricks!! Oh how I clenched when driving up the ramp when some of the bricks fell and my buddy helping...

    Clarkson Not So Funny Spoiled My Le Mans Plans

    Top gear is a great show. It’s entertaining funny and relaxing to watch. I really do love it and I love Clarkson’s attitude. He is out to entertain and enjoy cars. Come on he has a poke at lots of things and people but it’s when you start to take it too seriously that you really do lose the...
