    Article in Motor magazine (aussie version)

    In the latest Motor mag out here are a few bits I have not read elsewhere. I am only repeating so don't shoot the messenger. The code name for the new GT was Project Petunia. The Motor guys drove a mule at Ford's Romeo Proving Ground, an hour out of Detroit. Was running a 4.6 Mustang Cobra Motor...

    Gas Assist Lift Cylinder

    Having owned many Porsches with gas lifts front and back they do lose their power over time, and were not cheap to replace.

    Ford releases official pictures on the Ford GT

    Jim If you wish to sell I'll wear the risk. Seriously though I think it is pretty tacky. If you were a buyer just think you would have to step over that ever time you got in. I bet Henry is not saying "now why didn't I think of this" Also check out the P4's sill as that could be a bit sus. as...
