The Ford GT collected some bugs in June of 2008 during its return from the high desert and Willow Springs Raceway. It got a thorough cleaning after this trip and before I installed an iPod cable to allow iPhone charging without sucking up the GT’s sole power point. But I still couldn’t get the iPhone to talk to the Ford GT’s aftermarket JVC head unit.

June 2008: A Ford GT Study in Cooling…and Entomology

One of the few running changes in the Ford GT’s 2-year production run was the removal of the front grille. It happened in late 2005, and it was done to increase airflow to the radiator for improved engine cooling. With my long-term 2005 Ford GT being about 3/4 of the way through the first year’s production (number 1456 out of approximately 2000) it still has the front grille.
