You could say that the GT has the history and the name.. The F6 is making history. Depends which way appeals more. I have a GT and couldn't be happier.. Edge

Same thing here. Got the folder with all the guff and a an FPV Showroom DVD and no keyring. Rang and they said hold on, new one being done and will be out in the post. I just want one :-) (keyring that is)

I'm booked for the 24th Aug in Brisbane to test out my GT. Can't wait...

I think for just w@nk factor alone, I think it's a great thing. When people hop in it's just another way to set your car apart from the rest. A throw back to the old days of true sports cars. Even the M3 and M5 drivers don't have one (flame retardand suit active) And thanks YCL for the answer...

On the topic of starter button - What happens when you press the starter button when the engine is on and you are in motion?

I went in for a 30k service (had the flash) and noticed that the performance was less than normal. I will say that it has been smoother across the board but at the cost of performance. I don't know what's better...

Count me in for the stalling. I can be driving along happily and then the steering goes hard. Stalled again!! What a pain..

Has anybody got a copy of the add for us to hear??

I thought it was worth rembering some of the cool bits to pass onto all. We can tend to forget or never know about some of the cool things on this car. Please add to this list as this is just a start 1. If you hold down the volume knob on the premium sound system for 3 seconds or so and wait for a beep, the screen will then turn off. It will come on if you make a change and then turn off again. To turn this feature off, repeat. 2. With Premium sound when playing a CD, hold down the seek on the steering wheel to change the CD (thanks to DallasQLD for that one) 3. To get a single wipe of the windscreen wipers push up 4. If you have premium sound, get 2 light bulbs and have footwell lights. :idea:

Same problem and same result. Get the Fairmont switch as a replacement. It was worth the problem to get the replacement..

Love my Turbo, but there is nothing quite as nice as an 8 and ohh the bonnet. But for $6k.. And the weight difference.. And the turbo rush...Happy with the Turbo..It just gets better with time. But an 8 ohh how I miss that sound ...

Imagine the smell in the car (burnt rubber). It would take months to get rid of.... But what a hoot. Count me in as a passenger.

If it helps, I was in the same boat. Ford quotes a delivery time to the dealers from Melbourne to be within 8 days. Mine took 8 days but it did arrive.. Edge

For the last 2 posts- StaggerLee - The footwell lights work on the same circut as the door lights/access lights. So unlock the car get the footwell lights (as well as the others) and lock the car after 20 secs all the lights fade including the footwell. The install is as simple as plug in the bulbs... richdave - Under the left of the glove box easy to find. The drivers side a little more difficult. Recomend a torch. Here is what I did. Remove the fuse panel cover (and I know you know where that is). The cover uses a hinge which has 3 prongs to the left and then a one to the rights (if I remember). Between the second and third hinges on the white plastic up behind the fuses. Look for the brown plug. It is behind and up but it's there..I can post a pic if you need one.. edge

Best $3.94 I have spent. Works a treat. Drivers side one a bit hard to find but...

2 other contenders that I think may have a shot are Nissan 350z and Mazda RX8. Both have excellent reviews to date...And the price is good..

I can't make it. Only just read the post and have a family commitment that I am told I need to be at... Ahh next time. Would love to have caught up with all, but short notice is bad when you have 3 kids...Always something on and need to plan ahead... Edge (Stephen)

Dallas will be there in his Mercury Silver.. And I couldn't drag my better half along if the world was going to end tomorrow (and happy about that)... And Goose, the better the spot for the pics the better. Can't wait to see all these vehicles in the one place at the one time, and talk to the other lucky passionate owners... Edge

I think the concept of start at Lytton Road and then head in a group up Mt Cootha. Now that will turn a few heads... Amd mjh - if we do this, come along and join the party, the more the better... Edge

Count me in. It would also be good to check out everybody else's rides at the same time. Edge

If BBF won't do the job, Jon at Torque Ford Strathpine will....

The electronic speed limiter is disabled. The trip computer ends up with a range and trip distance but all other functions no longer appear, but you do get a way more accurate digital speedo (which btw reads about 3-4k less than the analogue). And on the note of the slush box, not all of us have the auto...but you are correct. Throw it over and you are in the performance mode...

From the Ford Forum "One mod I do like on the XR6T EEC is going into Police mode and overcoming the standard speed limitation. 255KPH (instead of the standard 230KPH) gives the car a chance really perform at the top end."

I understand that the dealer need to do both - And don't know how... And owners manual - no mention that I know of..Maybe the workshop manual.. And just to clarify the police mode is only to do with the odometer changing into a digital speedo. On the note of a kw increase - None that I know of but all of the potential is there all of the time rather than going into a less power fuel saving mode such as peak hour traffic... Edge
