Sometimes, I just Live Right.



Did a night autox at Primm, NV with the LVR SCCA. How often do you get to park next to one of these?

People here complain about the ride they receive on run flat tires. That's a smooth ride compared to the one the Ford GT puts out.

In going through the photo pages of LVR SCCA events, that GT has been running in a lot of events. Anyway, as soon as the run groups were announced, there was a vintage LeMans style, chaotic scramble to get on the grid in the right order. The GT was a few rows over then.

Saw a blue and white one on the Dragon this past MOTD. That baby could rattle and jar me all it wants.

Any chance that was his GT? The event was a Vegas Region SCCA autox.

I followed a Ferrari Enzo up the road to the MINI dealer today (Ferrari dealer is next door). Makes that Ford GT look like a Toyota Corolla (meaning plain)

+1!

I parked next to a Mini at the last Starlite Car Cruise (Wexford PA)...


(OK, have to admit, mine is the one on the left, and I haven't seen a GT in "the wild" yet!)

Looks like a really fun way to spend an evening. Good company, too!

How did you do?

Pretty sweet. My boss/owner of the company has one, but he NEVER drives it. He only has like 500 miles on it and he's had it over a year. He took me for a spin not too long after he got it though and it is very very very fast. Very fast.
