Default Re: New Ford GT

I worked at a dodge dealership many years ago when the viper first came out. They were sold as much as three times as much as msrp????. As well, any dealership in western canada did the same. There were also many issues with the first gen vipers, i can't remember all of them but i know that there was at least one in the shop every week. With todays technology i would imagine the GT is a much better initial build but as with any new model there is always issues.

The interior of the GT is really cool.

I think Charley needs one.

Colin, I guess the dealer supplied tool kit comes in handy,

The GT looks cool, Les do they rent them in Vegas?

I couldn't get Huggers link to play and despite what Gloria thinks I do have to work as well. In the minute I had to look this stuff up I found a summary of the Ford GT problems and history completed by respected automotive writer Wallace A. Wyess at www.caranddriver.com

Pay special attention to the Roush/Ford remedy for the leaking rear main seals. Speedi-sleeves that was the high tech solution for the leaking rear main seal????

The article first appeared in the June 2005 Car and Driver magazine.

Face it Les, no matter what you drag out during your Lunch breaks, nothing you find will make Colin sell his GT and buy Five "3 year old" Vipers with the proceeds. that is about all they are worth at that tender age last time I checked....

Slanderous clown? Stop sugarcoating it, tell us how you really feel.LOL Hey I am a Ford guy and bleed blue oval blue but this whole thing where 29 different factories are needed to build the Ford GT gives me the creeps. LOL

Colin seems to like his when he isn't complaining how slow it is? Maybe I will look into an 06?
