    Wide stripes on a SVTPP?

    I think that car looks much better with the stripes! As long as you could remove them, it won't matter. As a stripe delete GT500 owner myself, I have often wondered about adding stripes to my car. But, I haven't and probably won't.

    Brake Rotors

    At 36k miles, I am starting to feel a minimal bit of "rotor warp" sometimes when coming to a stop. Should I have the rotors turned at the Ford dealer or should I just figure its almost time for new rotors? And if so what kind?

    Porting the Eaton...

    Not wanting to spend all the $$ needed for a TVS and not wanting to be the fastest quarter mile or highest horsepower guy, I have been considering having my stock (but pullied) Eaton ported. Stiegemeier came to mind from all the 03-04 Cobra blowers ported by them, but who else would you all...

    Quick MAF Question

    I'm cleaning the MAF sensor in my 2011 GT500 right now. I am using the CRC MAF cleaner spray. I already sprayed the top and bottom of the sensor 10-20 times per the can instructions. Do I also spray inside the hole where the air goes into the sensor that would face the air filter, also?

    plug gap vs performance

    How much of a roll does plug gap play into performance on our cars? In the old days, gap was important to performance. Now, with fuel injection, computers and boost how important is it? I recently removed the plugs in favor of some Ford/Motorcraft and found that the plugs were only gapped at...

    Need to change spark plugs for the first time....

    Hello. I am getting ready to change out the spark plugs in my 2011 GT500. This is MY first attempt at this job in my Shelby. I've done it plenty of times in the old 86 GT 5.0. I'm just wondering what would be the best type/brand & if I can get some tips or suggestions to make the job easier...

    My "new" Kona Blue..help with any other mods with pics...

    Here are a couple pics of my "new" to me 2011 Kona Blue GT500 SVTPP. I was trying to figure out what mods (if any) were done to the car. Turns out it already has a C&R H/E with dual fans and larger tank. But, can anyone tell if any other mods (like pully) have been done before I go spend...

    Best Heat Exchanger Options

    After owning my completely stock 2011 Kona Blue SVTPP GT500 and putting on about 300 miles, it really is an amazing car! :banana: BUT, after driving for several miles at a time here in Florida, I was noticing some reduced power output (I kinda thought it was in my head). After reading on this...

    No Kona Blue SVTPP stripes?

    I was just wondering why I haven't seen a Kona Blue 11 or 12 GT500 with the SVTPP and the narrow white (or other color, except red) stripes? Was that not even an option with that color/pkg?

    Need Air Filter.....

    I finally got my 2011 Kona Blue GT500 SVTPP coupe delivered Saturday night @ 10:30pm. Cleaned and drove that baby all day Sunday. I took it to Ford on Monday, just to have them check it over and do an oil change (car has 34kmiles), just so I have a baseline and know that under and around the...

    What is the best stuff to put on the plastic trim on our GT500's?

    What is the best stuff to put on the plastic trim (to bring back the black) on our GT500's? I'm talking about pieces like the rear lower plastic panel, the heat extractor vent on the hood, front plastic valence etc.

    Exhaust Questions

    With my new 2011 SVTPP, I plan on doing the basic pully, intake and tune asap. But, I was wondering...how good is the stock exhaust? I kinda like the sound of it. I don't want a loud system. Would it be better to do an axleback? Are there any gains to be had with an axleback? What about...
