Thumbs up New Toy

A Porsche club buddy, and 911 owner, called me a couple days ago. He told me to swing by his house because he had something to show me.

So, the next day I pulled my 911 out of the garage and drove over to his house. Sitting in the garage was a pristine 2005 Ford GT! It was a one owner car with 1800 miles on the odo. Wow! 👍

He did not yet have plates on it, so the test drive will be another day. I know it’s not a 911, but a pretty cool ride none the less.

Much like a Viper GTS these GT's will always stop me dead in my tracks. Thanks for sharing.

One of my dream cars, way out of my league as far as price goes. What do you do drive the Hell out of it ? or keep it a pristine low mile vehicle?

I had the exact same question for my friend. He did not really answer the question, but knowing him, it will be a “garage queen” with a few appearances at regional car shows.

Question: Does the average Ford dealer know how to work on these cars?

No, I believe there are certain dealers that have GT trained techs.

saw a 'new' superperformance GT40 on the street recently. I'd take either if I had the $$$.
