    My front end looses it under WOT?

    Launching with full slicks on a prepped track gives me the same feelings. You sure you are not getting air?:)JK. Check alignment/balancing for tires up front. Actually check all tires...sometimes a misalignment in back will give you the feeling of a front end issue...

    Anybody used the SCT BDX Tuner on a 13-13 GT500

    Let me know what you find. I am assuming you will get no answers until tomorrow...

    Tuning concerns/questions

    For a street car it needs to be a soft tune on top. Why risk it and pull the plugs when your motor is toast? There are too many uncontrolled variables(i.e. bad fuel, weather conditions, altitude)that can hurt the motor if the tune is set aggressively.

    Should I get another 13-14 GT500 or a GT350 or a?

    I'd go dedicated. It doesn't have to be a Gt500 or GT350 or anything new. I'd get a cheap body fox car and do a complete road race suspension..plus gut the car..keep/rebuild the 302 or get fancy and do a budget (but dependable) 331 n/a. For the money saved from purchasing a new car I would...

    Driveway Ramp to prevent scraping...

    I hope this is the correct section of the forum to ask...move it if need be. What do you guys do to prevent scraping of your car when exiting or entering a steep driveway? I've tried extreme angles and backing it in in reverse with no improvement. I actually even contacted the owner of Bridjit...

    How about an official norcal Shelby sighting thread?

    Official Norcal Shelby sighting thread Haven't seen one of these posted up except for the ones from the socal boys, but since today was probably the first time I've seen another Shelby (while I was driving my Shelby..other than at car shows) I thought I would post it up for us in norcal...

    Any members in Northern CA?

    Just wondering as I have not seen another '13 Shelby on the street yet(other than the one at the dealership with an ADM of 20K that was sold to a buyer out of state.). It would be nice to compare notes...:beer: as the mileage builds up on these cars....

    Clutch Smell?

    I don't want to start another clutch thread so I guess I will ask a general question. How many miles did it take for the clutch smell to go away? I don't smell it at all going through the gears. The only time I smell it is in stop and go traffic and (I know it is silly) when I feather it up...

    JLT Oil Catch Cans..

    I know a lot of you will have a first mod of a oil catch can so here are the JLT's I received today (I ordered before I actually got my car and I did not even consider the Bob's version due to my lack of research). Looking at them they look like quality pieces. Whether any catch can will be...

    Octane requirements

    I hope this has not already been discussed already, but has anyone done any testing on the performance differences when using 91 octane or 93 octane (or higher) on the '13 Shelbys with the stock tune? I know us CA owners have been told that 91 was the only option, but I know of one place (I use...

    Delivered..woohoo..finally!

    Well...finally! Got a call from the dealership and was told that my car was being off loaded from the truck and being delivered to the dealership (they were putting it on the inside of the showroom to avoid the possible incoming rains and I am sure to serve as a centerpiece before I pick it up...
