I think that most everyone wouldn't mind one stock. I'm getting sick of people who are so worried about modded a GT, when most of them won't even get a ride in one becasue of the low production numbers. Honestly you don't need to mod a car that is that fast to begin with. When you mod a car you are compromising the integrity of the car. You put more stress on the car than it is designed to have. In the long run you are killing your car. With less than what, 3000 GTs, why do it. I don't know, I respect the car stock.

What aftermarket company in their right mind would spend $$ on Reserach and development for go-fast parts for 100 or so cars?

I am pretty damn sure that SCT has cracked the codes in the computer for the GT, after all it is still a ford computer...and I don't see why the interchangable pulleys whipple sells for the 2.3L blower for the cobra won't work for the GT. I am assuming that the car can be tampered with from the get go, and I am sure that some will mess with it.Originally posted by BillyGman
That's just it. I question whether "the money" is even there or not. I don't think it is yet. There really aren't any owners of GT's who have had them longer than one summer. And how many people do you think there are who will purchase a rare car for 200K, and want to modify that rare car after merely putting a couple thousand miles on it? I mean the car is barely broken in. Sure I installed different gears in my Marauder after having only 1,500 miles on the car, but a Ford GT my car is NOT.
And correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that "any tuner" can burn a chip for any car like you've said since a new car's computer codes must first be cracked, and that hasn't happened yet for the GT to my knowledge. So there I don't think that there are any engine tuners who can burn a chip for the GT yet. Besides that, wheels can be mounted on a car and taken off no sweat. And even if you leave them on, you won't have to worry about the dealer voiding your warantee. But you do have to worry about a dealer voiding your warantee if they find evidence of a chip being put in, or evidence of computer tampering at all to adjust the stock air/fuel ratios and/or the ignition timing advance curve. And the thought of having a warantee voided on a car that costs $200K is something to think about even for the rich and famous I'm sure.

And you shouldn't call me a pussy. I have driven a real 427 cobra, a real Shelby KR, and a bunch of other high end exotics that you can only dream about so don't go calling me a pussy! But im sure your special S1 240 whatever the F*** kind of 98 cobra is as fast as half the cars I have driven.
PS. That was a really good first post.
Welcome to the board A**hole
