I know I am quite the Newbie ... here however I am a Porsche Guy I cant even count the number of GT3's and 911's I have had from turbos to cup cars... Typically run on the six speed site and Rennlist ... I do a lot of DE's and Instruct for almost every driver Group at VIR ... i have been doing DE's for 9 years with countless numbers of laps at VIR, watkins Glen , Mid ohio, CMP...

But I will say I bought my first Ford GT today!!!!!!!
I am really excited about it ... I know very little about them other than the Basics!!! but would love to learn more about them... i did buy the car from a guy i know who deffinitely knows something about them... this is Basically my first tru post here so give me a break and let me enjoy the excitement !!!!!!!!


I am happy about it and will post a pic or two after Christmas!!!!!

Merry Christmas to Me!!!!!!!!

Welcome Matt,
Nice Christmas present for yourself... congrats.
I will change your status to owner and that will allow you access to other areas of this board. Take a look around, this place is not like those other forums, we limit our warmest welcomes to fellow owners.
Cheers,
daniel

...so give me a break

Uhmmm,... no break here until you post some pictures :biggrin

Nothing fish tails like the "type 901" Porsche, which of course is the "type 930" with the turbo charged engine. One of my favorite Porsche designs.

You will fall in love with the F-GT, you'll feel guilty every time you cheat on her, even when you ride a 930, just a word of caution:cheers

Matt,
I think you'll find this forum like no other - in terms of comraderie, civility, honest devoted sponsors..... I encourage you to search the plentitude of threads on most topics and become a sponsor. The best money I spent, as it's repaid in kind countlessly. Heck, I'm so GT crazy, I have two.

Matt, congrats on your FGT. I'm also a new owner and let me tell you I'm having a blast. I've also had various 911's and Viper's and for me this is the one. Its well balanced car performance, appearance, passion and hold it's resale value pretty good. Enjoy it...:cheers

Welcome and congrats. The FGT will make your previous Porsches look silly! I have had everything from the 930 (89 G50 equipped), to the 964 Turbo S, 993 TT and 996 TT, none of them even come close to the FGT. ENJOY!

My FGT made my 996TT a daily driver. A great daily, but still, the FGT is special. Really special!! Welcome to the greatest forum on the net.

Welcome home. You'll quickly find out that owning a GT is a disease. What color is #2 going to be?
