Yes, I have yet to loose my enthusiasm for the car. Still thinking about a gt40 MKI clone though or even a MKIV. Let me know when you have it back in Tustin, I really do want a ride (might push me right over the edge! LOL) Frank had a MKII at the Gran Prix and the quality looked very good...

Congrats on getting the car Mike! I ran into Frank at the Long Beach Gran Prix and said you were crus'n around Tustin looking for Ford GT's to beat up on. LOL! Next time you have that beast in So Cal drive it down the street and take me for a ride. Again, congrats and it looks great!

How to have a whole career in one year

Is the motor any good? Ford wants $35000+ for a turn key piece. I have looked into a few parts for mine and lets just say Ford is very proud of the parts! $$$

Mine is #448. It was the last one to have the oil and suspension upgrades done to it. However it was never shipped and all work was done at Ford. As for what was the last # the work was done before shipped, (not performed in the field) I don't know. Hope this helps Steve

Your son doesn't "get it". (But he will when he gets to his mid life )

I guess before I call someone a dumbass I should check my grammar. (thinking)

[ QUOTE ] Steven, Return it to the dealer and demand a DB9 like Clarkson did [/ QUOTE ] Clarkson is a dumbass! Instead of returning the car I'm think class action lawsuit.

Chris, as you might know this is '06 not '66 and Ford is very proud of their stereo upgrade that came with the car for an additional $3500. You might also know that I live in So. Cal and that gives me two basic choices. 1) go to the "hood" hang with my homies, crank the tunes and thump the sub...

My car came with the stereo upgrade. however I listen mostly to AM talk. Much to my surprise I get almost no reception on AM. I live in the LA area and my other cars don't have this problem. Lack of an exterior antenna or maybe the antenna isn't hook up at all? Any comments before I ripp out...

Sandy thanks for the heads up on the Willow weekend. It's my b-day (or almost) weekend so maybe a quick trip is just the treat I deserve. The GT only has 250 on it so that might be a good way to work on the break in. Talk to ya soon.

The post was about GT40's not Ford GT's. Some on here get testy when someone replys to a 40 question with a GT answer.

For what it's worth, January of 04 Car & Driver did a write up on the Ford GT, GT3 and Ferrari Challenge Stradale called "The Megastars". Yes I know your talking Gt40 not Ford GT but a few people I have talked to that have GT40's have told me they blow away the GT's on the track. The...

[ QUOTE ] I think the deal on the '06 GT is gone at MSRP but you can can give me a call at 407 509 9380 and I will give you my friends name and phone number or send me a message, Wayne [/ QUOTE ] Thanks Wayne, I will call you in the morning!

Ooooops sorry! I just reread It looks like the prices here in Ca. have stopped dropping. Mine was 156,559.oo( MSRP). The dealer, a friend of a friend told me I could have it at 9.5K over. When I took delivery they were happy to see it go! He said the sales dept had been in a uproar ever...
