The interior of the GT is a magnesium alloy - not pure magnesium. Not dangerous.

The 'new' Ford GT uses a steering rack sourced from the Aston Martin Vanquish...

The tyre sizes are identical to those in the US. Maybe the photo makes them look smaller - but they're the Eagle F1's, same as on yours.

I missed that unfortunately. Was it of any interest?

"I know what you're thinking. Did he fire two shots or only one? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a Beretta Silver Pigeon, the most powerful shotgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself...

A most enjoyable read.... I hadn't realised that the Jaguar people had been so difficult at the Classic...

John, it would have been me then! I have some friends in Cranleigh and have been over a few times in the GT.... there's a part of getting into Cranleigh that is moderately 'heart in the mouth' width! Next time there's an event we're both going to, we should go in convoy... It's quite...

Hi John - and welcome to the Forum.... whereabouts in Surrey are you? I'm about 3 drivers, a three wood and a decent four iron from Chiddingfold - so if you ever see a red GT whizzing about, it's me. :)

No ashtray either! I think corners have been cut! ;)

I often drive down to the South of France in nice weather and have done that in a variety of 'sports cars' - Astons, the GT, that type of thing. I wouldn't want to feel physically exhausted after a few miles - exhilerated perhaps. The GT is a good compromise - but it is a compromise as it's...

If the opportunity presents itself, you must come for a blast in the GT.... :)

I agree (of course!).... I don't think a GT40 and a GT are really comparable at all (I guess it's fortunate that Ford did not pick up the rights to 'GT40' otherwise it would be terribly confusing). GT40's also involve (for many) the blood, sweat and tears of building the thing - so swapping...

I'm not sure the Ford GT is a 'watered down' sports car - it's easily capable of over 210mph (on a track of course) and feels faster in many respects to the Murcielago I had before it. It doesn't have many driver aids either - stability control, traction control etc, so it's only vaguely...

Many owners are using a slightly smaller pulley on the supercharger which is increasing the power. Interestingly although Ford quote 550bhp for the GT, many in the UK have been dyno'd at over 590 in stock form. I hear that the smaller pulley is causing some problems with the inlet tube...

The driver is Carmilo Pardo who is the chief designer for the Ford GT. Whilst the driving is dangerous (certainly looks reckless to me), he's not a retard. I believe that 'normally' he's quite a useful driver. However, I would agree that most posted videos on the internet (and, quite...
