    Yellow GT350 at Roebling Road Raceway today???

    From two good friends who I regularly track with, a new yellow GT350 caught on fire at RRR today. My buddy told me that the a cooler line came loose, sprayed the exhaust and burned the back of the car. He said the car had MSPC2's on it and "it looked bad". The driver was lucky to get out of it...

    Any road course feedback from GT350 owners?

    With actual lap times, session length, temps, etc.? There was one at Sebring in January, but hand timing had it running mid-:30's, so the car was clearly not being pushed hard. Anybody running one at a minimum of Spec Miata laps times for full sessions and if so, feedback? S.

    Anybody thinking of moving from a S197 GT500 to a new GT350?

    I like my Mustang. Ford hit a home run with the '13/'14 GT500's IMO. After being uninterested in Mustang for several years they brought me back and I bought two. The GT500 has been an incredibly entertaining car, both on the drag strip and at the track. But I've been looking at the GT350...

    Road Atlanta last weekend

    I made my second trip to Road Atlanta last weekend. It's not likely to be any more than a twice-a-year venue for me since it's a ~520 mile pull each way, but it's a great track. The difference from June was, aside from MUCH more tolerable weather, Hoosier R6's. I first ran these in August at...

    '13/'14 GT500 PP, rears ONLY with Nitto 555r, TPMS, caps...AS NEW

    I bought these from Steve at Tousley in late '12 from my '13, so aside from the tires these are all genuine OEM Ford parts. I mounted them once while at Orlando Speedworld and made two passes with them at the very end of a rental, drove the car back home and put the stock wheels/tires back on...

    Video from Road Atlanta last weekend.

    Was a great weekend at Road A last weekend. Just very hot! Temps in the mid-90's with relatively high humidity aren't very pleasant. I ran all weekend, no problems and (like 13CobraToy) I think my brake issues are resolved with 2-piece RB racing rotors, Hawk pads, Motul 660 and custom made...

    Sebring last weekend.

    I ran another weekend at Sebring this past weekend with Chin. It was hot (~90*) both days and I was on almost-dead GY F1's. Also, I left the brakes untouched from Daytona with Hawk DTC60's on factory rotors. The heat the Hawks generate is cracking the factory rotors and I will be changing this...

    What square tire/wheel setup is anybody running?

    It's coming time to switch to a 19" square setup for the track that I can rotate to preserve tire life. I plan to run a Hoosier on the car. Obviously need to clear front '13/'14 GT500 calipers. Any recommendations appreciated. I know Slowponycar is running a set of Forgeline GA1R's that I...

    Weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway

    My first time at this track. Weather was typical awesome S. Florida March sunshine. Last session on Saturday got crappy as the heat and sun conspired to make the tires greasy and the track slick. But still a great day. Ran a bunch of :42's and lots of :43's. Car is still stock, but with Motul...

    Run at Daytona, April 10-11th

    There were a number of '13/'14 GT500's at the 3-day event in December (5, I think), would be nice to see more out there again in April. Flat Out Motorsports (click on "Schedule" for a list of their events this year, registration is through ClubRegistration.net) Anybody who hasn't done...

    Stock '13 GT500 at Roebling Road

    Went to Roebling again this weekend with Flatout Motorsports. Saturday was a few wet sessions in the rain, but it cleared off later in the morning on Sunday. I was able to squeeze in 'almost' four sessions. Best lap time was a 1:22.7 with a bunch of 1:23's. Video from my last session...

    Roebling Road Raceway this coming weekend.

    We'll be back at Roebling Road Raceway this weekend with the Flatout Motorsports guys for what is looking to be a great weekend at the track. Would be cool to see a few more GT500's out there. They're on Facebook and have more spots available for anybody interested. Next month is...

    BNIB 50th Shelby Alcoas, full set w/caps

    Brand new in the boxes, only one wheel has been taken out of the box since I received these from Shelby America in Dec. 2012. Pictures include that one rear wheel (which has never even had the plastic edge protector or plastic off of it) and the other three boxes. These include the centercaps...

    WTB: '13/'14 SVT PP front wheels

    Looking for two mint condition-only front '13/'14 GT500 Performance Pack front wheels. Would prefer with centercaps and TPMS and would only consider with tires if tires are literally new factory F1 G2's. I am putting together a second setup for my car since it is seeing a fair amount of track...

    Running at Roebling Road this weekend.

    I'm taking my '13 to Roebling Road this weekend (yes...I now only own one, the silver car sold to a guy near Dallas!). Will be running both days and am trailering the car there. I'm on the fence about bringing my 24' enclosed down to Florida from New Jersey, so renting a U-Haul transport for...

    For sale... 2013 Shelby GT500, solid silver, 425 miles, perfect condition. I took delivery of this car from Greenway Ford in December 2012 after ordering in June 2012. The car is equipped with the Performance Pack, Track Pack and Electronics Pack. It has the standard sport seats and does not...

    Looks like I'm selling a GT500.

    I've been toiling with the notion of selling one of my '13 GT500's, but I think the silver one is going to be going up for sale in the next week or so. I've been tracking the black car (next up is Roebling Road in August) and the solid silver one has ~400 miles on it since I took delivery last...

    Anybody from here going to Sebring this weekend?

    I'll be there on Saturday only, but see there is one other '13 GT500 registered. And a ZL1. :rolling: S.

    Track day at Daytona.

    Took the black '13 GT500 to the Flatout Motorsports Daytona event yesterday. This was held on the full Rolex 24-hour, 3.56 mile course. I ran five 30-minute sessions. I pitted about 10-minutes early on the fourth session due to low fuel (but ran the entire other four sessions). I figured 1/2...

    Anybody heard of a 131 mph bone stock '13 GT500 in Alabama?

    From another board where I post. Guy posted a video of his '13 with a catback and I joke for him to get his car to the track. He replied with the above quote, and continues to insist his bone stock '13 ran 131 with 109 octane in it (which would, obviously, actually kill power). I'm thinking...

    Orlando Speedworld today.

    OSW is under new ownership and they have been open quite a bit over the last few weeks. They are running Sunday Funday today and I took out the bone stock, stock-tire '13 for some passes. Weather is in the mid-50's, day started off with a little bit of a tailwind, but by ~12:30 or so, a pretty...
