Nice detailed pics guys.
Gt Owners-Can you get pictures of the undercarraige
- Thread starter 2004 Cobra
- Start date
Posting things like this educates the Ford GT community at large, and future owners as well. Thats one of the best things about an enthusiast board, its a place to share info, and archive things for reference. The Viper club has quite a lot of info archived, from maintenance, common problems, performance upgrades, meetings and events, etc. Searching this info before buying a product, attempting an upgrade, has saved owners countless dollars, anguish, and hours wallowing in newbie mistakes. Sometimes the posts of mistakes on the VCA board serve to teach others what not to do, maybe something you never thought of before. This site will also evolve the same way, hopefully, by the input of members, and serve as the backbone of the new FGT owners club. Good job, David and Chris.
Thanks for your compliment but remember most lists have tons of actual owners. The owners out number the non-owners and thus there are many sources for information.
This list has very, very few owners. Non-owners vastly out-number the owners. Thus hands on experience will be extremely limited. While everyone has some knowledge it may not apply directly to this vehicle. Also there is difference in posting about something that the dealer did and the owner did or actually assisted in doing.

Good eyes. There are actually several including some that are highly modified. Used to own one. Shop were work was done specializes in Merkurs, Vipers, Subarus.
Thanks for the pics. I am very impressed. Now I need to get my act in gear-save the $$ and get me one of these. It is in dream status right now, but who knows....
Is the large panel metal or plastic? and is it for protection or areodinamics?
All panels are composite or alloy.
All panels are designed for aerodynamics. That is the purpose of enclosing the bottom of the car. Obviously they also protect the bottom pieces from road debris, but all the panels allow road grit to get inside and need to be cleaned.

What do you mean by composite. I you mean Al, plastic or SMC I would agree but none of those panels are carbon or anything exotic.
So they are Super light-weight? How much do you think the rear diffuser weighs?
I can assure you it's not carbon or anything else exotic.
That large panel that is being referred to is the difusor. The point of that panel is to make downforce by using the low pressure zone behind the car to accelerate the air that is trapped under the car and force it out, thus lowering the pressure under the car effectively creating downforce at high speed.

Because I spent 2 years working on the program as a Veh. Dynamics development engineer. I worked on the aero-development team that designed/tested the front splitter, side skirts and rear diffusor in addition to my regular duties working on the ride/steering/braking/handling metrics.
Any other questions?

Feel free, it's better to have people speaking about the car in an educated manner rather than making blind and ignorant statements.

Which most people out there, mostly Ford Haters(why even hate Ford its not like we go around saying we hate chevy or dodge), do. I'm glad this forum is better because here I don't need to stop the ignorant attack of statements about the Ford GT.

why didn't they push to make the body more aero-dynamic, is it because the time and money it would take or they wanted to keep the looks?
