Brothers, I had HRE make two complete sets of 20/21 wheels for me; they are P101 Lightweights. I paid additional engineering fees for the Ford GT fitment, and the wheels are incredibly light. This set has the 355/25/21 rear tire fitment, which looks super cool. They are sitting around...

Anyone here ever run the high speed event at KSC? Ever since Mojave, I've got speed on the brain and this venue looks smooth...

I am trying to procure a billet aluminum shift bezel and boot for my GT. I had one on my previous car, but alas, it went with the car. I've spoken with Andrew, but we will have to set up to manufacture a whole new batch ($$$) if I can't find one rattling around. Any help would be greatly...

I'm a big fan of HRE wheels; I like their engineering, appearance and flush fitment. I've ordered at least four sets of wheels from them for my previous cars, but this latest set is truly special and I thought perhaps the group would benefit from a brief review of my experience. I have no...

I'm going to have some custom upholstery done on a set of GT seats, but I want to preserve the factory seats for posterior...err, posterity. If you've got a set of factory seats that you would like to get rid of, please let me know...and thanks! Condition is unimportant, as long as the shells...

Just got a few photos from Jason Heffner on our awesome TT project. FOR THE LOVE OF PETE, would you look at those honkin' turbos... During all the years that I owned my previous GTs, I always lusted after the twin turbo set up, especially after I watched Apollo and Skyrex go ballistic at...

So I've been doing my research on a set of carbon brakes for my '05 garage queen. I've tried to read every thread I can find on them, and here are my remaining questions: Parts required: Front ZR-1 Rotor and Caliper x2 Rear ZR-1 Rotor and Caliper x2 GT front uprights (modified) x2 Brake lines...

For the last two years or so, I have gone through periodic skepticism about the supercar merry go round. I've alluded to it here, but never really explored it. Many of you know what I'm talking about; the never ending quest to have the latest, bestest, fastest, coolest offering. For me, the...

So, suppose I wanted to browse new old stock parts for the GT from Ford's parts inventory. Is there a way I can actually see whether a part is generally available in real time without having to contact a particular dealer? I've been to ford's site, but availability of any particular part seems a...

Ah, there's no place like home after extended wandering. I kind of feel that way about the GT community and this Forum. Some of the old timers around this joint may recognize my username from the early days. I bought a spankin' new GT back in '06, and kept it for nearly 7 years and 23,000...

Okay Gents, I'm going to avoid making this sappy. I am not going anywhere, and I am only TEMPORARILY taking leave of GT ownership. I am on an idiotic quest to acquire a Mclaren P1. A necessary part of that quest is to liquidate a portion of my modest collection. (The Carrera GT is already for...

Ah, the sweet affliction that I have previously coined "Velocitosis Vulgaris". From the earliest age, the condition seems to overwhelm its hapless victims. My first symptom manifested as an unnatural attraction to Hot Wheels. I remember wanting the chrome coated "Boss Hoss" Mustang so bad it...

PART 1 Special dispatch to my brethren of the Fordgtforum. About a year ago, I bought a Mercedes SLS. I was impressed with that car, and through an interesting stroke of happenstance, my local dealer offered me the state’s one and only allocation of an SLS Black Series. The catch was that I...

Well, its here! I'd love to write a review but its hard to get a good evaluation when there's ice on the road...stay tuned. So far, I can tell you that it smells new inside and makes raunchy sounds when fired up.

I presume that many of my GT brethren have owned more than just one sports car. Some of these come and go without creating much of a stir, while others leave a profound impression. I think its pretty safe to say that the GT defines that latter. I've been reflecting on this lately, and it has...

OWNER REVIEW: FORD GT vs. PORSCHE CARRERA GT. Part 1 of 4 As a wise man once said, “I've spent a bunch of money on cars. The rest has been wasted.” With that truism ringing in my head, I was recently fortunate to find an immaculate and virtually new Porsche Carrera GT. I bought the car...

So I was minding my own business in GT Mecca (Jonesboro) looking at buying that lovely blue GT that Shelby had for sale. My innocent intent was to add another GT to the stable, for as we all know, one is simply not enough. I was then, quite literally, assaulted by a carbon fiber harlot...

As some of you may remember, I posted a somewhat long-winded comparison of the 458 and the GT some time ago (I think it can still be found in the Media Section). Following that, I posted a tragic tale of an exuberant RX-8 driver who was kind enough to modify the body lines of said 458 in a way...

I'm just now on the plane headed back from chasing a car in Chicago that I was interested in. Not a GT, but what I consider to be a royally boss car. Anyway, while I was closing the deal, it came up that I had a Ford GT. From that point on, two salesmen, the finance manager and even the owner...

As all of us GT owners have experienced, attention in traffic can be disconcerting at times. The following is an experience which I alluded to in an earlier post where I compared the GT and the 458. Some of you asked for more details, so here it is. I've been blessed to own a bevy of exotic...
