I haven't because I do not believe they offer them for the GT. Unless they just came out?

I looked into them, even called the company and talked to them. They look like a decent plug, but as the guy at Brisk said, they are designed as a racing plug more than one for a DD. Since they are not double platinum, they will have a relatively short life compared to that ofa platinum plug. That's why I went with Champion. I will consider them down the road if they ever come out with a doubleplatinumplug.

2 different Ford dealers here in Florida told me that the Autolite plugs were better performance than the Champions regardless of 1 piece or 2 piece design.

Ipersonally put in the Auto-lites only becauseI could not find the Champions. I also had 46K miles on my car and followed the TSB for plug removal to the word and had no issues getting the plugs out, just use patience.....

I am running the right now and I love them....... Why? easy to gap and they are the first plug I have ran that did not get spark blowout at higher boost levels! As for the person that said they are not for a GT, do you mean Mustang GT or Ford GT? cuz they have been out for the Mustang GT for a while now! In fact I think they were one of the first to offer a colder plug than stock.

That would be me. I looked for them on their site. Sifted through the cross reference and could not find any that cross referenced the champion 8979's or the Autolite HT1's. If they have them, they must be keeping them secret or more likely, I'm blind. lol

Why do you think Ford dealers are buying up lots of the Champion plugs? When the Champions first came out, some guys couldn't get the Champions because Ford dealers were buying them up. Why would Ford dealers tell you the Autolites were better? Could it be because that's what the factory was putting in and that's what the factory wanted the dealers to say? Maybe the factory is worried about a law suit.
All I know is the overwhelming number of posts that I've seen from those that installed Champions were positive. If you want the Autolites, knock yourself out. My car is running better than it ever has, and I don't have to pull & clean the plugs every 5,000 miles so they won't break off AGAIN. Just my $.02 worth.
