    Ceramic Checkup and Topoff

    It's been a little over two years since I had the Shelby professionally ceramic-coated with Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra and EXO. To maintain the product's 9-year guarantee, it has to be inspected annually by a certified shop. (Inspection is free, but you can always opt to have other services...

    Splitter Upgrade

    Got tired of how far down the OEM plastic chin splitter hangs, so I replaced it with a TruFiber CF version that (I think) looks better and increases ground clearance. Process was simpler, fitment was better, fasteners were much easier to deal with (nothing but bolts/screws that are all simply...

Thankfully, heat was not much of a problem, but traction certainly was. Our best speed of the day went to kpinco, who hit 159MPH. I hit 153MPH. O.W. Kenobeno...
