OK I'm really in love with the Ford GT and haven't yet done a bunch of research on them yet but I think I'm ready to get one... I wish I didn't live in California where the dealers are on crack and won't even let you within 5 feet of one let one inside/drive it but are there any on the boards for sale either slightly used or?? Any real differences between the 05s and 06s? Not really fussed but would like to know. Sorry for the neewbie questions...

We tell people to look in Autotrader and on eBay. Most of the Gts are there somewhere.
If you get a new car (10 miles or less), sticker is the target, less is wonderful.

Got ya. One thing's for sure.. once somebody has one they don't seem to be selling. The highest mileage one I saw was 400miles
I'm pretty sure I'll drive the heck out of it. I do with all the cars I've had since I'm a driver and less a "collector" but this will be the first time I do so without driving. Being a Brit I actually had a pic of the original on my bedroom wall as a kid so I've always loved them.

Call Bob Silva Ford in Chowchilla and go for a ride in his. He isn't one of those a$$hole dealers and will gladly let you touch his car. Bob drives his car and loves to share it with others. Their number is 559-665-4811.

Thanks man that sounds like a plan. I'm going to do that. My only concerns are just being "comfortable" driving it. I'm 5 11 and 180 pounds so usually most cars are good for me (except pokey little Italian ones). I think about the GT more times per day than sex so I know pretty soon I'm going to get it
The car anyway....bony said:
Hehe.. thanks man. Yes I do love porsches and that's what my shop does (just the new ones). My own one worked out well... It's a daily D. Does 10.6@135mph and has a crazy race suspension and brake set up but I'm surrounded by customers that have other cars too, from Murcies, 430s etc.. but the day one guy had his wife drive the GT in I could not stop looking at it. First car in a long time that I've just fallen for

I'm 6'3", 220 lbs and have no issue with comfort in the car. There's plenty of room.

6'1" - 295lbs no problems in the GT, however, not a chance in the world to slip in and out of an original or replica. go for it... :cheers

6'1", 255 Lbs and guess what... The car fits great... Alex - you won't be disappointed with the fit. There is plenty of leg room but just remember to duck you head when you close the "Guillotine" doors... Cost a writer in the trade rag's 14 stiches if I remember correctly.

I am 6' 0" with a long torso. I fit fine without a helmut. I have only about 1" or less of head clearance when I adjust the seat to my liking. No problem with legroom.
