    Out of the Ashes -- A different Phoenix

    A long story, but sadly I lost a 350R at Road America just over 2 years ago when it snapped right just after the exit of Carousel at about 100mph. Bought a Body in White, had it caged and did the rest myself, moving what was salvageable from the R. Loaded it in the trailer tonite, for...

    Track Tires

    Hoosier recently released new 20" tire sizes, that might just fit the NFGT: Front: 265/30ZR20 compared to 245/35R20 OE Rear: 335/25ZR20 compared to 325/30R20 OE Thoughts? Worried that the additional width (especially up front) may cause fender rub in Track mode, even with the shorter...

    Reflections after 6 weeks

    I’ve been fortunate enough to have the new GT for exactly six weeks now, and am reflecting on how great this car really is. Both my kids came home for delivery, and the Ford team spent about 2 hours going thru the features and delivery process. There’s a lot to absorb given all the technology...

    Track Mode

    Went to VIR for 2 days, so didn’t get to put any more miles on the car until today. Interestingly the track event was shared with the Ferrari CCR race series. I’ve always admired the 458/88 styling, but I must say the GT just blows it away – there’s not a bad angle on this car, every way you...
