I think NYG is on to something

Then you would be in the minority of 2.

Comparing a CGT to replica. Puh-leeze. No where near the same league.

I think it was a big mistake for Colorado to legalize pot. Now you have some of its citizens hallucinating.

It really doesn't matter what you drive or how much chrome shiney stuff it has on it. When I pull into the lot in the GT40 prepare yourself to be invisible. Sorry Kirkum.

Maybe... My experience suggests otherwise... Polished Kirkham (made of either aluminium, bronze, copper or gold) kind of have an magic magnetic allure across all ages.

In any case even if that were true, they'd eventually bump into the owner and... well enough said...

Good luck and enjoy... You have a nice bit of kit there.

Keep spliffing the ganja and listening to that Jimmy Buffett music. Maybe with the hallucinations, you'll think of an actual color to repaint your GT40 with and install something a bit more exotic than a 302/4bbl.

Your feelings of superiority are misplaced. Seriously, your car is a replica, just like the RCR, CAV, ERA, Tornado, Roaring Forties, etc. and also the Factory Five GTM. And just like my Cobra and all our Cobra's here on Club Cobra, all replicas, except for the few owners who have original Cobras such as Cobra #3170, Nedsel and A-Snake.

And the only way you'll be pulling into any lot at the moment is by pushing it. So I suggest buying a Rogue "Dog Sled" to practice pushing (and pulling too) weight up and down your street and driveway. Great exercise!

Oh well, you're well with in your rights to maintain your ignorance, evidently brings you a level of bliss.

Yes, yes, yes, YOUR spf GT40 replica is THE best car in the world. The only other car that can rival it is a Porsche Carrera GT...

Note gt guys have a wide following but will not support their tunes. My setup with their pulley and tune will not pass emissions in Nevada and so will not in California where we use a obd test. Their config bypasses 4 of the system ready tests. I am going to have it all ripped out when I take it for the airbag fix. You probably don't have that problem in your area. Their tuner threw up his hands and disappeared. Just a warning that many tuners are not emissions compliant

They took my car to a local tuner in Detroit after they completed their component installation. They definitely know their way around a Ford GT, but correct- they are most certainly NOT tuners. I didn't care- I just needed a safe enough tune to get me around for the Rally, and now I am doing the other intake mods I mentioned and will have my trusted local tuner take it from there.

I'm glad you guys are doing your part to keep the air clean and preserve natural resources because my GT40 gets 8 miles per gallon and belches flame and all sorts of nasties out the back. Thank you for your stewardship.

As long as the "Victory crown" is a conical hat, I'm good with that.

As you know, there aren't any trophies given out, because all the other kids who don't receive them will be sad and will lower their self-esteem. And we don't want any sad kids with low self-esteem.

Nope, I'm just recognizing your Einstein quote for classing up the joint.

Between the altitude and legalization of marijuana use in CO, Mike probably thinks his GT40 is painted Gulf Heritage colors. But, shhh, don't say anything to him.

My SPF GT40 has never been recalled and I don't have any one time use fasteners holding my seatbelt in doh!

Didn't SPF do some sort of recall based upon Jim Craik's failed shock mount on his SPF GT40? Maybe Mr. Muck can chime in.

Failed Shock Mount - GT40s.com

You posted on Jim Craik's "failed shock mount" thread back in 2014:

I doubt there are many people getting wildly wealthily off selling a few GT40s. If you want a daily driver that you can expect to be perfect then by a GM. Wait... didn't they just suffer a big recall too

I did not buy this car for extensive mileage. I bought it because I wanted something as close to the real thing as I could get. Enjoy the cars. Expect to work on them. If that's not your cup of tea then look elsewhere.

I'm glad you feel your SPF isn't the real thing. But now, I'd use your time wisely and get your exhaust started & finished. Otherwise, you better build up that core strength with those sled pulling and pushing exercises.
