    Sale of Aston Martin

    Here is a project worthy of the talents of GTJoey: Ford is considering selling Aston Martin. Imagine if all of the GT Forum members got together and bought Aston Martin! Then once we have control of the factory we can stop racing Aston Martins at LeMans and switch over to GTs. In the meantime...

    JD Power and other Surveys

    I normally toss all of the JD Power surveys and stuff from the RDA Group. But I want the world to know what a great car the GT is and how much I love it. So for the first time ever, I sat down and filled out both surveys. I hate answering mostly stupid questions but I did get a chance to check...

    Grand Prix The Movie

    I just finished going through the recently released DVD of "Grand Prix" starring James Garner. Excellent movie with lots of fantastic goodies. What does this have to do with the Ford GT Forum? Well for one thing the camera car was an original GT40. Also, many of the real drivers who helped make...

    Anniversary Edition

    Does anyone know why the 2006 Anniversary edition Ford GT is Tungsten? I love the color and understand that the 25th wedding anniversary is silver but supposedly Ford is celebrating the 1,2,3 victory at LeMans is 1966 which was 40 years ago. And the car that wons LeMans in 1966 was black with a...

    Homelink Rear View Mirror

    Has anyone out there installed a HomeLink® Auto-Dimming Rear View Mirror 50-GENK40 in their GT? The auto-dimming probably isn't necessary since a little more pressure on the go pedal usually works well. The Homelink would allow a GT owner to control up to 3 devices such as a garage door or gate...

    Key Rant

    I love this car to pieces and still cannot get over what a fantastic job Ford has done. I don't know about GM, but Ford really sweated the details here. For example the AC controls and gas cap are true works of art. But who was in charge of the designing the keys? My father-in-law just bought an...

    Rear license Plate Frames

    Any advice to new owners on rear license plate frames? With all of the heat exiting in that area is there a concern about melting a plastic frame or a plastic laser beam diffuser over the plate? Does anyone know if a back up camera such as the platecam can stand up to the heat of a red hot GT...

    Build Quality 2005 v. 2006

    I was looking at a Heritage Edition GT at my local dealer and commented to him that the fit and finish seemed a little better than my friend's red 2005 purchased last year. But maybe I was just being blinded by it sitting in the showroom and the paint scheme. He replied that the newer cars are...
