    Black or Midnight Blue GT wanted

    I am officially looking for another Ford GT. My preferences are for a Black (with stripes) or Blue (with stripes) car. Since to import cars into Europe we are charged an extra 33% on the purchase price my budget is somewhat capped. I do not need a new or super low mileage car. I will be...

    I wrecked the GT

    2 Degrees C, 850HP, red mist, synthetic grass and the pit wall lane are not a good combination.... I was chasing a Carrera GT at Silverstone, put the external rear past the kerb, lost traction on the green stuff and put the back into the wall.... It was a decent hit, and I was a bit shaken...

    Who needs a Whipple.... 200mph at V-Max! :banana

    Last Saturday I partecipated to a private gathering at an airstrip (Brungtingthorpe) here in the UK. The layout was pretty simple, with a long runaway (1.6 miles long) accessed by a service road through a large radius right turn. Positioned 600 yards before the end of the runaway (braking...

    Borla problems

    Gents I have had some problems with my Ford Racing Muffler AKA Borla muffler... Basically at first the welds that were keeping the "box" together failed. I had them rewelded but just after a few hundred miles I started hearing rattling noises coming from the exhaust system... I put the X-pipe...

    What top speed?

    Guys doing an event here in the UK to see what top speed I can achieve... It is a half mile straight followed by a large radius turn and a 2 mile straight. I think I can come out onto the final straight at around 60-70mph.... What speed do you think I can get? Car has pulley+tune....

    Quicksilver.... like you have never seen it before

    I was toying with the idea of having my car wrapped in Orange, like the Avro Mirage 720. So I had wheels, fuel cap, hood and fuel cap levers painted black.... Whilst I was in there I decided to go bumper delete as well.... When I went to pick it up I just fell in love all over again. I...

    Any color... Which color would you have?

    Oh no! Not another color thread... Actually I am thinking of having my GT wrapped in custom printed vinyl. It preserves the paint, lasts for 2-3 years and gives you total freedom. So imagine you could have your GT in ANY color scheme AND that you can always returned it back to your beloved...

    Disaster!!!!! Warranty help

    As some of you may remember I was having problems with my car's engine. Basically I was getting a misfire everytime I hit 4,500-5,000rpm in the higher gears. Roush Europe tried everything (changing coils like I first did in the US, injectors, plugs, plug gaps, tune) to no avail.... Today they...

    Accufab X-pipe drone

    Hi all... I just installed the Accufab X-pipe. It sounds wicked and really nice from outside the car. To me it is how this car should have sounded from the beginning. From the inside things are not so positive. Whilst I love the sound when I step on it and I am past 3k I have noticed a...

    Misfire - Low on power - Help?

    I have taken the car to Roush for the ford power upgrade package. They dynoed the car before the swap at 536HP at the crack (do not ask me what algorithm they used.. they are Roush Europe and they pretty much swear by it. I tend to believe them as they dynoed all the Roush 600RE special GT cars...

    Roush Europe

    I can't stress enough how wonderful the people at Roush are. David Jones and the others are always willing to help and hear out my little questions/problems. It makes me feel like a million dollars... Incredible. Last week I was at the track when the oil pressure gauge started behaving...

    Clutch issues

    Last week I was at Brands Hatch (UK race track) for a bit of fun with the GT... The car was fantastic but I had a little issue with the clutch... At the end of the morning session (say after 4-5 20 minute stints on the track) the clutch pedal did not spring back and remained depressed close to...

    Tune?

    So after swearing to myself I would never touch the GT I am sitting here contemplating a pulley swap, new exhaust system and a tune. But I would really like to understand what the tune does. I am planning to drive this car hard on long distances (read through Europe - Germany) and the 1k mile...

    Misfire. A pattern?

    This past weekend it was the second time that my check engine light (the yellow one) came on. The first occurrence was at the track. Light came on at full throttle and the engine cut back. I obviously ended the track day early, brought it to Ford where they diagnostic showed misfire at Cyl #2...

    I nearly nailed it....

    Yesterday morning (on our way to the F1 Belgian GP) we decided to strech the GT's legs a little bit... So we detoured towards Aachen and drove 30km of unrestricted Autobahn... It was close but I think we only got to 197mph. As you can see I am already off boost and we are doing 192-193...
