Awesome... that car really kicks ass. so smooth, *tons* of traction... awesome event and my props to Ford! Lots of '05 stangs there... wow....

Posted a bunch of pics *including* lots of good shots of the Ford GT they had out! Check them out <a href="http://www.bumsmell.com/innovation/ford01.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>! Enjoy!

Has anyone else driven at this event elsewhere?

Is it just me??

The seat in the mustang seems a little worn out already. Doesn't show really good wear and durability!!!

 

[caffinecobra]

I noticed that too!

Probably just because they let everybody sit in it... but it still shoul hold up. Maybe that's why they didn't want you sitting in the GT

I had one in my shop yesterday to check out the engine bay and strut towers, we are working on getting a few bodys in white!

 

[caffinecobra]

[caffinecobra]

You have to consider that thousands of people have gotten in and out of that car for the past few months. And I am sure that none of them cared how they did it. I am not too worried about it since I will be taking much better care of my car.

That's true. Prolly had kids climbing all over it too. Plus I bet if you did Ford's "Permaplate" thing it would be covered anyhow. Or you could slap so recaros in there.

I feel as though this thread has something to add to the forum in general so I am re-opening it.

cafinecobra, I will keep this simple. Read the forum rules regarding selling items in the forum. This is a formal warning and if the spam continues, you will be banned.

Now, for the seats.

If this is what is going to happen to seats after, say, 3 to 5 years of normal use, count me out. The amount of people climbing in and out of this car is roughly the equivalent of 5 years of actual normal use. If I bought a car that fell apart like this after 5 years, I would absolutely flip out.
