quality of GTX1

[fjpikul]

They could be removed with umbilical cord for all I care. How easy is it to pick the GT ignition lock?

I dont pick car locks but I wouldnt think it would be that hard.:confused
You looking for another car? :lol

Yes, white/no stripes with lots of carbon fiber.

you don't have enough $$ for #1153

My good buddy Todd will find me one at a really good price, maybe at a shipping dock. Around here, we have what's called "boxcar pricing."

STUNTS, I respect your opinion but IMO your logic is considerably flawed. No car has ever exceeded my expectations as much as the GTX1, and when it's in a crowd, it's an automotive rock star. Although the more heavily optioned X1's have more that could potentially go wrong, the maintenance and repair on a basic X1 conversion is exactly identical to that of a GT. :cheers

Hey, no worries but what was it I said that was flawed? I think the design is outta this world too.... rockstar yes! But not as many people want them vs. the GT... and yes, maintenance is the same but I was referring to all the one off's made for the GTX 1 that might need be considered in regards to FIXING (I suppose) rather than basic maintenance.....yes.... no....

 

[STUNTS]

I generally agree with STUNTS. Since I believe he is talking about a combination of desirability PLUS affordability. There are simply less buyers at the top of any market. It doesn't mean that most of the enthusiasts wouldn't want it, but not everyone can afford it. Plus, some people are simply not aware of the Ford GT. Think about how fewer people are aware of the GTX-1.

If you were to ask Mustang GT coupe owner, would they take a convertible Ford GT500 at the same price, a vast majority would. They would see the additional value and worth. Sure, some would still want a coupe GT, just as some would still want a factory Ford GT, over a GTX-1. Obviously, a GTX-1 is a much greater and complex conversion than a factory Mustang GT vs. GT500, but this is for illustration purposes only. If you want, swap Ford GT for GT500, and know that some people would still want (and be able to afford) the base Mustang GT.


If you consider that in today's market, a GTX-1 likely costs more than a Ford GT, it has a higher entry point price to uphold as well as less people that can afford it now, and in the future. Assuming equality, the same percentage decline, will lead to a greater reduction in dollars.

All speculation of course, I definitely don't know what will happen.

The important thing is to buy the one that you want and admire and enjoy it. If you are buying something to please a future potential buyer, what's the point? Unless, it is your livelihood...

Thank you..... I'm not the writer in the family you know.... I couldn't of explained it better.....

 

[STUNTS]

Thank you Mr. "Let me blow this up today." Your concern for safety is overwhelming. Oh, and don't forget, it's easier for the police to spot you driving with a beer.

:rofl:rofl:rofl :lol:lol:lol :eek

 

[STUNTS]

I just had an epiphany..... and seeing that this thread is based on opinion.... what would the difference be with KIPS AWESOME design and FOOSE building it??? holy cow boys......

Yes, white/no stripes with lots of carbon fiber.

I second that.

Any previously owned FGT or GTX should be carefully PPI'd by a qualified
expert. Contact THE GT GUYS or THE GT TECH... better safe than sorry.

Anyone have contact info for "GT Guys" or "The GT Tech"? It's looking like I will have a need for their inspection services.

Also, if someone could tell me the price of the factory wheel upgrade, I would appreciate it.

I may have some news to post soon!
