Great choice ! His problems materialized from the installation of an aftermarket immobilizer system. The FGT is pretty much bullet-proof as exotics go.
LOVE your new car, Steve! It is not surprising at all that many Boxer owners also appreciate (covet) the Ford GT. The fit and finish might be lacking to be nit picky, but there is little debate over what you get in that performer. I can almost guarantee I will own one someday. Congrats! W
Thanks Adams, it is strange ok, we do seem to have similair tastes, I have found your post on the FordGT Forum, and laughed when i read it, exactly the same thoughts as myself. For what it is worth, I think you would love the GT, I believe Ford really did nail it on this car, and much as I miss the Boxer, I have owned two of them over the last six years, I have no regrets about buying the GT. Big thanks, it is still too early to give a detailed account of driving impressions, but my first test drive had me hooked, very easy controls, though the steering is a bit light/over assisted for my liking, everything else I love, smooth ride, a great sound on open throttle, and bags of torquey power available always. Hi Emilio, no Diablo 6.0 for me for now! Strange thing is if the seller of the Diablo had not changed his mind, I would have it now, and the GT would never have come along. But I love this car and have no regrets on missing out on a 6.0 for now. All GT's are LHD, in fact it is very left LHD, in the sense that you are sitting about as far left as you can go, and the armrest is in the door pocket! This does make it a little difficult to judge the width of the GT, and it is very wide. Other than that, it is an exhilirating drive, and very very fast even in staandard tune. Thanks m8, I believe it is a car worth owning, even if only for a while, looking forward to getting to know the car more. Driving impressions will follow in due course, I plan on driving it to France this summer for the 2010 Le Mans Classic, I usually go in my Pantera, but I will be travelling alone this year to meet up with friends, so luggage can go in the passeneger seat in the GT.
A few more pictures from a recent cars & coffee meet i organise. Getting a feel for the car now, and realise it needs some respect in cold weather! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
