Can't wait to hear these responses.
:frown I'm sure "How about a brick on the gas pedal" will be mentioned.

My thought was: "just apply a constant, consistant pressure to the accelerator with the right foot once the desired speed has been achieved." But then, I've always been a smart a--.
Seriously, Ron - WHY do you feel you even need or want one?????:shrug
Whipple? Well -YA!
Cat back? Uh huh!
Short shifter? Mebbe...
WINDSHIELD FILM? ABSA-LOOTLY!
But, a cruise control???:shrug That's right up there with "mud flaps", Sir. Whatever floats your boat, but what's the rational behind your thinking here? ('Nunna my business, 'just curious.)
To answer your question, I doubt anyone will be making a GT specific cruise control. If you really want one, you'd pbly hafta adapt wunna those "universal" kits.
:cheers

When Syco GT and I saw the Stillen car a few months back we didn't even know they were on until we studied the car. You really don't notice them. I am putting them on for the Aug. rally along with a SL bra and then probably re-box them. If I lived and drove in an area with lots of road debris they would stay on full time.

That's the picture from the Stillen site....
I do have a set and they have to be "adapted" and trimmed (notched) to account for the side rail, primed and painted.:ack Plan to use original moutning screws to hang them. The back is a different story... Double sided tape?
It's a rainy day project. Right now it's to nice to waste time not driving the beast.:thumbsup

When I first saw them on Stillens car and asked how much, I was told they were "one offs" and not intended for sale. Later Kyle told me they would make a few sets if there was any interest. They do fit well and were made for a GT. However I think with Stillens install, they trimmed the cars body molding just a bit not worring about keeping the car pristine and orig.(Race car). If your handy with a Dremil tool putting a notch in the supplied guard would be an easy mod. while leaving the car intact. I will attempt to use only tape for the install front and rear. Only the fronts need to be trimmed, the rears will right on.....I think.

A shoot, Steve. A guy could MAKE a set himself outta "whatever" bulk material he chooses...

Ron, I don't think its such a bad idea. I've even asked Genaddi if they could put one on my car. After doing 600 miles on the car in one day, there were times I would have liked to have my foot off the accelerator while driving. My GT500 has cruise control, and on trips to Vegas or Yuma I use it.

1931imperial, Don't let'em get to you. If you want a cruise control, it's cool. Honestly, I wish I had one on mine, as it would keep me a little more speed legal. But, I don't put a lot of miles on it in the first place, and since it didn't come with one, I probably wouldn't add one even if it were available. But, that's just me. Good luck (BTW, it was interesting to see the mud flaps do a spike after first being used as a benchmark for silliness, and I bet the same thing would happen if the GT Guys offered cruise control as an add on...after all, holding the accelerator to the floor gets mighty tiresome mile after mile!).

Kinda, sorta.
'BIGGGGGG difference (at least around this part of the country) between MUD FLAPS and those tailored "stone shields" (for want of a better term) Stillen stuck on THEIR car, Roger!!!!!! :lol :thumbsup
