Default so i had a run in with a ford gt driving home from work this afternoon...

driving down the highway this was the last thing i expected to see. from green bay wisconsin we don't have the high dollar sports car scene some of you are used to. theres a couple gt's around the fox valley area, some p cars, nothing really to much more than that. but somewhere around here there is a shop that modifies the gt. to what they call a gtx. not sure if any of you heard about it. probably.

well this is the run in i had... it was on a trailer being pulled by a range rover.

cell phone pic ftw

my thinking is this is either a their shop car or a new customer having the car dropped off for the work.

Default i know it's not, i think it might have been on the way to the shop to become one...

i also heard through the grape vine that the owner of this gt possibly has another one, a bunch of muscle cars, and either still has or just recently sold his rs6. but the guy regardless has a pretty killer stash or rides.

Default I strongly disagree. Putting that on a ****ty rental UHaul kills it for me.

Personally, I'd pull up next to them and laugh and point.

Default gtx are made in Wisconson?

This is the first gtx down in MI. Interesting story how he picked the color... He got a bunch of toy ford gts then painted them all the colors he liked. He then sat all the cars in front of his newborn and let him pick. The color is a saturn color i think.

Default yes sir, more importantly the land of the packers... blah i hate them

but yes, ford gt's are modified to gtx1's in north eastern wisconsin at an undisclosed location. i was told it because he didn't want people to know where so there wouldn't be break ins and such.

prices for their services are crazy.

Default i wish i would have gottn more pics... the front tires where just about to front of the trailer....

and the whole nose of the car was hanging over the tounge or the trailer. i wanted to run the guy off the road. but i played nice.

btw i was only doing 68ish when i passed him, he must have been going around 60, not so baller there either.


Quick Reply: so i had a run in with a ford gt driving home from work this afternoon...
