[JWZ]

Hello, all! Recently added this Red 3 option '05. Currently bone stock. Initial plan is to improve exhaust note & add improve performance. And of course- DRIVE her!! May have questions- thanks to y'all who've patiently answered some to date. Thanks also for allowing me to participate on this Forum. God Bless y'all! JW

Mama Mia! What a beauty, and red just plain works on the GT. Back in aught 6, after I sold my white car, I pretty much had my choice of all the other colors. (Remember the fall of 06 when there actually new cars sitting at dealers waiting for buyers?). I was at an American LeMans event, and in the parking lot was a pristine red GT. I was hooked at that moment, and immediately launched a search for a red car. I found it a few weeks later at a tiny little Ford dealer in Pa.

Yes, yes, I know that there is a lot of good-natured kidding about color choice, but there is probably a reason that enchanting superbowl commercial featured a red car. Just seems perfect to me, and yes, reminiscent of the Mark IV that dominated LeMans in 1967.

Congratulations on your new machine. I really dig the six spoke wheels, and I bought a set for my car just to change back and forth when the mood strikes me.

Enjoy it, and welcome the greatest online community on earth!

Congratulations on your FGT purchase. I am also partial to the red FGT but they all look good to me. The FGT community on this forum has been invaluable to me. Just helped a friend install a Stillen X-pipe and oil change while the pan and rear spilitter were off the car. Car sounded great and ceramic coating on X-pipe looked sharp. Tell us more on how you found your FGT.

Thanks, y'all! Agree- not really a bad color on the FGT's!! Great lines make all the colors look good! Enjoy watching 'The One' video!! Am in Odessa, Texas- about 700 miles west of Layfayette. No special story on finding her- just looked & saved for awhile- actually quite a while! Almost think she found me! LOL! Thanks!
