I wish Ford had the money to continue manufacturing this car, the platform of this car is second to none(and im a ferrari guy!). This car is another example of its great potential. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/H...-GT_158698.htm

Nice car...I finally drove one last week, contemplating picking one up, good straightline power, but the handling is not as good as my G...I would probably take off the stripes as well...

I got to drive one and since then I've been hooked. I mean, I like em' before that. But, drive one and its a whole different story. I'm sure thats a different story with alot of cars.

The duct on the passenger's side routes air through the trans-axle cooler (when installed). The duct on the driver's side routes cool air around the ECU and into the engine bay.

The ducts on the rear clamshell either route air into the airbox or into the engine bay for cooling.

The "brake" ducts just above the front splitter are cosmetic as delivered from the factory. The Matech Ford GT Race Team may have made them functional on their cars.

The side stripes can be removed, but the top stripes are painted.

Best Regards,
Waldo

The stock blower is a 2.3L Lysholm. The 3.3L Whipple is an aftermarket upgrade.
