    “13”-“14 Shelby Original Owners?

    No doubt!! Hahaha. It's been under the cover and on a battery tender for who knows how long. I don't even remember the last time I drove it. It's easily been a year. Being able to work from home during Covid, even my daily driver was only getting the tank filled 1x every few months or so...and...

    “13”-“14 Shelby Original Owners?

    I'm not so surprised to hear many original owners have sold and moved on. I recall the influx of "new" Mustang owners who jumped over to the GT500 briefly from whatever other brand they had at the time. Lots of folks like to have the latest and greatest and then get bored. I remember lots of...

    US Mile prep suggestions

    For those of you who have done one of the Mile events, I'm looking to hear some of your basic setups. Where did you mount your fire extinguisher and what brand/type did you find easiest to mount? I have a harness bar I can probably hang a bottle from, but wanting to hear some of your ideas...

    OptiCoat 3 year update

    Nothing too exciting to see here, but several people were curious to know how the product was going to hold up over time so I thought I'd post an update now that I'm at the 3 year mark of having it on the car. I had Opticoat applied to the GT500 at the 1000 mile mark and I have not waxed or done...

    Got around to the 13-5

    I've had my 13-5 kit since late last year, but my car had already been put up for the winter so I planned on waiting till Spring to install it . I got an invite to an open track event coming up Feb 28th on a Saturday (which never happens), so I thought I'd take the warm day we had last Saturday...

    2015 Z at idle

    Why do these… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUvE4TB27L4 always seem to sound like these…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTeU4Kw5eNU On the flip side, at least it looks nicer in grey. :beer:

    202mph?

    Are we ever going to see anyone validate Ford's claim? They tell us it's been done, but we never actually see the proof. :bash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0xKrjl93fQ American magazines have tried it and failed, but they were at poor elevation. :nonono...

    First open track event in the Shelby

    We all buy vehicles for different reasons. Our motives for a purchase are about as varied as our opinions on any given topic on any given day. It is no different for our beloved '13/'14 GT500's. We've seen people buy this car because of the horsepower numbers, or the top speed, or because of...

    Base limited slip info?

    Anyone have any links/info on specifics about the base car limited slip? Not looking for the PP Torsen info, just the base model diff. What does it use? Clutches? Gears? Etc.

    Six-Sixty TWO?

    Am I the only person that feels silly when answering people's question about how much horsepower the '13 has? It's one of the first questions people ask me, but even if it's not the first, it's sure to be in there somewhere before the conversation is over. I've found myself fudging a bit in my...

    Brake fluid change for track day

    For those of you guys who have already changed your brake fluid and flushed your system, how much fluid did you use? I plan on hitting an open track event in early November and wanted to swap out the fluids before I go. Typically it doesn't require much, I think I've always just used a single...

    Stock vs Aftermarker Spring rates?

    Can I get some help piecing together the various spring rates of the FRPP, Eibach, etc aftermarket options compared to the stock GT500? Van told me the fronts on the FRPP springs are rated at 260. I've had a surprisingly difficult time finding the various rates on the internet. You'd think they...

    Summer performance?

    Temps have been in the high 80's to mid/low 90's here lately (which is actually a cool year, to be honest). I've been a little curious about the car's performance lately so I thought I'd ask what other guys in similar temps are experiencing. I was driving home this afternoon (temp 88) and...

    Fun run against a bike

    Was cruising near my house and just pulled out onto a main street when I was deafened by a motorcycle. He rolled up next to my open window and revved on me several times then took off. I don't know my motorcycles but this looked like some sort of custom job. The rear tire was so fat it was...
