My speedo and tach will read correctly but are slow in moving to the indicated RPM and Speed. It just started yesterday. I spoke to NOTARE4/Kendall and he said it requires new Gauges. Has anyone else dealt with Ford or gone with another solution for this?

I have a friend in New Jersey who has had his GT stored for a while (year plus). It's been on a tender. He took it out and the tach is no longer working. He has 37 Shelby's so the GT gets a little neglected:( Any input on the tach? Is it the dead gauge issue we see sometimes? Mike

Has anyone switched from Motocraft to the new Amsoil 5w-50 and posted any analysis numbers on this? Just curious.

Well, after owning my car for 5 years and having 3 boys under 11 years old who all play football I was able to get away for the rally. The rally is as much if not more about the people and friendships than it is the cars. I met a ton of great people I am sure I will be in touch for years to...

What is the situation for leaving a car trailer at the hotel Delano or mandalay bay? Any designated or secured area. Mike

That's my son Jack with some guy who had something to do with the FGT:) Beautiful GT:)

If anyone is interested there will be a bunch of awesome Ford race cars and Shelby's zipping around Infineon Raceway in Sonoma August 2nd and 3rd. I will be there with my Laguna Seca on Sunday the 3rd for open track. Pretty resaonable price for an awesome track setup. Link below, come one come...

Any Norcal guys this would be a fun day and night. I did it last year and the GT won "Best Blue Oval" for the show. The cruise starts in the Sacramento Old Town area and goes up highway 50 (Great Road) to South Lake Tahoe. That group meets the Reno Mustang Club in South Lake and we cruise to...

Someone needs to fly one from the hotel to the track in Vegas, unreal: http://youtu.be/-hjdfm6f5PM

I caught up to a Yellow GT on lap 2, "Steve" lives in Henderson, NV. It still had the Goodyears on it and they looked brand new. I drove the GT down from Tahoe and my friend trailered the Boss Laguna Seca (Kendall's old car). I didn't track the GT. Boss was a ton of fun, fun track...

I am looking at lifts to save some garage space. I have a 68 Shelby and the GT I need to stack. The trick is my garage floor is heated through cools in the floor. Not sure if there are any single or 4 post lifts that do not require you to drill in the cement. Curious to hear options or what...

I did the first one at about 1500 miles, I am at 9K miles, just wondering with the common small shavings you find at 1500 what the next mileage guys reccommend servicing the tranny again. Been 60 an Sunny here in Tahoe since Christmas and have had the car our in January.

I drove the GT 538 spirited miles last Monday to Tahoe up highway 395 in the eastern sierras. I rolled up on the back of the CHP near Lone Pine, we go 35mph through town side by side. 1 mile out of own he rolls up next to me as I'm going 55mph in the 55mph zone, he gives me a thumbs up and...

Laguna Seca is at the Ford dealer. It burned 3.5 quarts of newly changed synthetic 5w-50 in 800 miles. Blowing blue smoke out of the left exhaust when I come off the throttle at almost all speeds. The tech sees cylinder wall damage with the bore scope. It's a 2012 with 10 k miles and under...

You can beat on them but don't try and jump them 100 feet in front of your buddies! Who does that? Who actually thinks it's going to land and drive away?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LDFWm4z3As&list=PL095E04A48C79B975

Just bought an F150, my friend owns a dealership here in SD and told me to check out this 5 video series of Ford Engineers pounding on this thing. 420 ft/lbs out of the box, pretty fun: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL32568184F2EEF79D

Freeway entrance, uphill, two lanes, right tires were over white line, accelerating in 2nd hard, light dirt or soot on road over white line, car darted right, I corrected under power, got back straight, went left, spun it 360, drove out of it. Had to pull off the next exit and check the shorts...

Awesome race video I stumbled across on Youtube. At about 4:00 mark the video goes inside the 997 cockpit and you can see the GT for 6 laps or so. I think something breaks on the GT on the last lap, he just slows on a straight. Awesome video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pn5gXzMlpmU

I pulled onto the lawn today in LaJolla in my yellow 1968 Shelby GT500KR convertible and a few minutes later this judge walks over and starts looking at it and asks about the color. I start talking and look at his name badge and it was Camilo. So I pulled out the phone and showed him the...

This car was restored in 2011 by a MCA Concours Judge and I bought it from him. It use to belong to Jimmy Connors and is Playmate wife Patty McGuire. The guy who sold it to them lives in Escondido and is still around and has a lot of history or memories of the car. In 1968 Shelby made the GT500...
