Have you driven a Ford GT lately??

Thanks Transio -

I now have a better understanding of the Z06.

I wasn't really dissing it as I understand it's a sweet ride. I was just suprised by the Top Gear video. They really knocked on the Vette.

Still a great example of all american horse power none the less

I guess my lack of knowledge comes from the fact that I don't really research these types of cars that much as I will never be able to afford one in my life-time

Wacky British humor. If you look past the dry wit and sarcasm, I think they actually like it!

Shawn, I was under the impression that the spring was at the center, transversely mounted? I certainly don't see any coils under there! I dunno, never actually been under a vette, but I'm told it's pretty high-tech and creative use of leaf springs.

EDIT: I did a little research and found more info. It's not solid axle, it is, indeed, IRS with transversely mounted leaf springs. Here's a better pic of an older model using the same concept: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...lr%3D%26sa%3DG

EDIT 2: I did some more research and found a pic of the C6 leaf springs. http://orasoft.com/Auto_Show_2005/Re...Suspension.JPG This is the passenger side, from the rear. Look under the lower A-arm and you can see a piece of it. Way cool use of it!!!

I am the proud owner of a 2005 Ford GT, White with Blue stripes(Classic), and yes, it is awesome. However, selling it is not as easy as has been stated, most Ebay auctions are not even meeting their reserves and some other dealers have had to take a hit just to get rid of the damn things. The recalls were a big part of this public disinterest. Luckily, mine was built in september and delivered in October. But yes, it is hard to wipe the smile from my face between first and 3rd gear.


I have never posted a picture before, can anyone advise me on how to do so?

While its hardly scientific:

C6 Z06 vs. Gallardo: http://videos.streetfire.net/Player....7C4A&kw=26&p=0

However, the lambo wins on style points.

The guy in the lambo gets the one on the left, the corvette sucker, gets the one on the right. Tell me I'm wrong :P

There she is . . .

And as far as posting pictures of my VX go LDUB . . . I refuse to let anyone see her until she is complete.

CrzyFool,
I hate to tell you this but, It'll NEVER be "complete"... I have at least twenty parts vendors saved in "favorites" that keep my wish list in a robust growth mode.
As a matter of fact, my new c/f faced boost gauge should be here today...can't wait.
Also, I like having pics. in my gallery "from the beginning", so I can go through them & watch the build.
BTW, the GT is a beauty, must suck to have a car that doesn't need any mods. JK, that was probably envy talking...I'm sooo ashamed.....
OK, I'm over it.
