I bought Ford GT instead of a Diablo
Discussion
Thanks for the advice over the last few months guys on buying a Diablo 6.0, but I have gone left of center and bought a Ford GT instead. Before the Lambo lads start screaming, I have to say t is an incredible car, and the GT40 is my all time favourite bar none. I have only had the GT a few weeks, so I am still getting to know it, but Ford have made a serious car here.
I did not look for a GT, it is one of only two in this country, but I heard about it through a friend, it was not advertised for sale, more a case of get it out of my sight I think due to a deteriorating domestic situation!!
Virtually new, just 1700 miles, in my fav. colour combo, Tungsten without stripe. So far my only gripe would be steering which is a little over assisted......oh and I am really interested in a sport exhaust for the car. Done a bit of research, and tha main vendors in the US like Heffner seem to be the favourite, but they want $2500 for a sport muffler, which is really just a H pipe in stainless, a very simple fabrication. Any GT owners know of a UK company that makes a sport muffler at a reasonable cost??. $2.5k before shipping and taxes is just taking the pi$$!

Thanks Phil, is it much louder than stock? The car is quite tame with the stock system, but I am not looking for too much loudness...
