when i do a quick shift i get a hiss from the clutch/trans when i pop the clutch up very fast
ive taken it into the local Ford dealer and they arent being much help...they dont see many(if any) 13/14 GT500's.....they have made calls to Ford and its going no where
the tech says it sounds like...
my gt500 is my 3rd car w/ manual transmission
when i push the clutch in i can hear a noise until i let it out....its not a grind or anything bad....maybe a swoooshing noise
whats going on inside my tranny? and why havent my other cars done this?(they were silent)
just wondering what chemicals you use to clean the engine area??
looking for something i can spray on and hose off (i know to put a baggie over the aircleaner)
i worry with using anything too harsh and it taking the paint off the valve covers
just checked my lanch control yesterday.....and yep mine starts at 3,000(which to me seems extreme)
just wondering if anyone knows why Ford changed this on the later 2013's?
just noticed its getting chipped up right behind the front wheels....1200 miles.....i know f1's kickup every stone
anyone else notice this? is there a solution?? im thinking about the 3m clear sticker thingy just for this area....
the back wheels have a nice splash guard.....maybe the fronts...
finally spent a full afternoon detailing the new car....did multiple coats of Zaino
noticed a large drip coming off the rear wheel well....shocking how it made it through QA with this.....im not that fussy and dont care, but its like the drip dried just before it fell off the car..
also...
when you wash the rims the brakes get wet and rust instantly...i know this is what brembo brakes do
my problem is all that rust flakes off all over my freshly detailed rims
today after washing i drove up/down the driveway 2x and then went back to detailing them AGAIN to clean all the...
I have 1200 miles on my 13...i typically change the oil on all my new cars after the first 1,000 miles....i figure it has TONS of metal debris from breaking in the engine and i want to clean it out
i called the dealer 1st because i figured they may not have what i need in stock...and i was...
just got my side scoops painted/installed today.....decided to go all out and buy the factory ford ones for $225 and paid $300 for the paint/install
they fit 100% perfect...just like the GT/CS ones do..for me they make the car....a Shelby needs side scoops...
were they ever...
bought the car in Feb, drove it 1000 iles home
i washed the car about 5 weeks ago before i put it into storage....i used a sprinkler to get the salt off the bottom
took it out today and when driving down the driveway rust water POURED out....2 rust stripes down the whole 40' driveway....it...
ive never owned a car with a SC before.....i know my SRT Challenger is noticably faster in 60 degree weather than in 80-90 degree weather...the SRT rarely ever loses traction though
im wondering if the 13 gt500 also runs better in cooler weather or does the intercooler pretty much make 90...
i love the way the speedo looks at night.....is there a way to keep it lit up during the day?
even when i turn the lights on they dont light up...they need to sense darkness...i know there's probably a way and im just being stupid, but i cant figure it out
:pepper:
active suspension
normal mode vs sport mode
would either of them give you a better launch or 0-60 time?
if your going to 1/4 mile race which mode is best?
i dont get why the TP was taken off the order sheet for convertibles???
maybe they wanted to keep the max price at $69,100????
they say its because 'it isnt needed, since no one buys a conv. for 1/4 mile racing'???
it helps maintain the cars performance when going all out for any length of...
i know one handling issue the Gt500 has VS the ZL1 is balance....why didnt Ford put the battery in the trunk to help balance the car better....i think the ZL1 is a perfect 50/50 isnt it? while the Gt500 is 48/52ish
seems like a no brainer since there's that big space where the spare should go...
anyone have issues with the stock shelby cover scratching???
also i worry about moisture issues since mine is in an unheated garage...it doesnt seem like it would breath....all the moisture from winter would stay on the car
the good news (i assume) is that the car shouldnt need a washing in...
i set my shift light for 6,000 rpm's....then i read peak HP is at 6,500
whats the proper rpm for the shift light?
why is this adjustable? isnt there a 'perfect' spot to shift??? shouldnt it be locked in or 'suggested' from Ford?
put the Bobs oil seperator on a few minutes ago...on the shock tower
it almost touches an air conditioning hose...kinda a weird spot to have for the 'standard' install....i didnt want to drill into my firewall
anyways.....wondering how you drain it??? put a small cup under it to catch...
its finally all cleaned up
questions:
1. the pony projector from the bottom of the side mirror isnt there?
2. does the top not go down flush? it looks like it would go down another 2" or so.....the gt/cs i test drove also did this, so i assume its how it is?
3.ive been told its 1...
not a fan of the SVT on the center caps
looking for something with the snake on it
cant seem to find it though.....
also how hard are they to remove? do i need to pull the rim?
SVT doest look nearly as cool as the Cobra emblem
do any of you clean the inside of the rim?
on my other car i do....it shows if you dont
i cant fit my hands through the holes in the rims on the gt500, so im wondering how im going to do that.....same with the Brembo's
do you reach your hands around the back of the rim?
or am i nuts and...
anyone know where i can buy just the rear floor mats for my new car?
im irritated w/ Ford over this issue and cant see spending $80 for a whole new set just to get the 1/2 i need....of course Ford doesnt sell just the rears....
