You left off the 3.73, and somehow that 3.55 got in there.





Other than that, its kind of up my alley, although not sure about that Driver Ornamentation package. Whats that?


EDIT - nevermind I see now.

Looks like a simple spoilerless coupe, my style. Bravo.

I would have said get the brembo upgrade so you get the better brakes...and the 3.73 gears.

Other than that...looks good =D

Where is there even a link to build and price a 2011? I looked all over ford's website a number of times.

howarmat

yeah i would probably do 3.73 too

Im going to take on each objection one at a time.

Their was a lot of confusion on this as the Price List dated 1/15/10 said the 55D Brembo Pkg was not available on the Base GT 300A but only on 400A Premium and above which would have made the brakes cost me a total of $4895,

The Order Guide dated 1/20/10 states very clearly "Optional on all GT Arrays except 402A". 402A is the California Special.
It does require the Manual Transmission though. Which means $1695 for the 55D Pkg is all I would have to pay,

At this time I think I will forgo this as Ive never overheated the stock 2007 GT Brakes. The GT500 based 13.2 front rotors are likely to be plenty for me. I dont think I really want the 19" wheels and GY SC2 Tires either.

With the 3.66 Low + 3.73 gears thats going to be like launching a 4.04 rear axle with a 5.0 engine that makes 22% more torque than the old 4.6 + 3.38 low combo. Might be nice on DR's but I plan on running street tires. I think it will be hard enough to launch on a 3.84 equivalent.


With 3.73 I am going to hit the rpm limiter in 4th at 111.5 mph (110 mph trap at best without hitting the limiter). I dont want to be forced into 5th turning only 5300 rpm at the same speed. With a CAI/Tune only 2007 I have already trapped 108+ mph (close to 110 mph at finish line) and Im prettty sure the 5.0 is going to be more than 2 mph faster.

I will skip the other upgrades and just buy the blower straight from FRPP.

NEXT!
