The first time I drove it, all the controls were placed as such like it gave me the impression that I had driven it for hundreds of miles, and the car reacted accordingly. I would be interested to hear your thoughts about this type of a reaction to driving the new Ford GT.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts. |
Aloha from Hawaii! While you're waiting for a reply from dwgrif, I thought I'd throw my .02 in from an owner's perspective. From the very first time I sat in and drove my new FGT, all of the controls fell readily into place and I felt very comfortable in the cockpit. The clutch action is extremely light and shifting very smooth (with the exception of 1-2 upshift notchiness when cold). FoMoCo targeted the Acura NSX in this regard and nailed it. The thick A pillars require a little time to get used to on the driver's side; however, one adapts rather quickly. The car is incredibly easy to drive quick and fast, both of which it does readily and capably.
I've lurked around here for a while and have enjoyed reading the posts and viewing your beautiful GT40s. Very nice.
