    Test drove an '18 GT350(non R)

    I went and test drove one today. I wasn't impressed. It is very refined, handles extremely well, interior is an upgrade and the suspension feels great. I hoped it would knock my socks off, but it didn't. The power was linear and smooth, but it needs and could handle another 150 HP easily. I have...

    Possible Clock Spring Issue

    I've had to replace the steering wheel's four way directional pad with "ok" button in the middle several times since I've had my car. After reading up on the clock spring, I think this may be the issue. I've replaced that set of buttons three times with new ones and they always go out over time...

    2017 ZL1 Test Drive

    So yesterday I took a 6 speed manual 2017 ZL1 for a test drive. I've been curious to see if it was as good as what I've seen and read. Make no mistake about it, it's fast and handles well. My problem with this car is that the PTM does all of the work for you (I had it in track mode). I didn't...

    Steering Wheel Menu Directional Pad Problem

    Hey guys, I'm having an issue with the 4 way directional pad button on the left side of my steering wheel. I've had it replaced under warranty once before, but it keeps giving me issues. What'll happen is that it's unresponsive when I first fire up my car and then the up button will scroll...

    Topic Search Problem

    Has anyone else been having problems trying to search on here? No matter what I type it says "words are too short, too common, etc." I can't find any answers. Maybe y'all know something I don't.

    nGauge Question

    Thanks to Van (again), I received my nGauge today and the setup and install was pretty straightforward. The instrument is very easy to use, but one thing I can't find on the gauges (to monitor) menu is the knock retard display. Can someone point me to the right one please? Also, what does...

    Instrument panel issue: help needed

    Yesterday, I tried to move through the different gauge readouts between the tach and speedo. Using the directional pad on the steering wheel, caused the menu screen to freeze up, go to the wrong gauge, etc. I've got nearly 12,000 miles on the car and have never seen or heard of this. Any help...

    BMR Subframe Connectors (boxed type)

    Does anyone with a track pack car have these installed? If not, do you know of anyone with these installed? I'm asking because I was told the differential cooling lines are in the way and I don't want to mess with moving those or not having access to them. Any input would help. If really like to...

    Got Some New Shoes!

    Velgen VMB5's with Sumitomo tires. I love the look and the ride is much better. You have no idea how inferior the Goodyears are until you switch them out.

    Parts Shipping Conspiracy

    Is it just me or does it seem like when I order car parts, the delivery service has some sort of "unexpected delay?" Once, just once I would like for them to be delivered on time. It's like they know I'm tracking the shipment and are intentionally messing with me. This is like waiting on...

    Super Snake Wheels

    Does anyone have a picture of a 2013-2014 Black GT500 with the chrome Alcoas or Black Mamba wheels? I've scoured the internet and can only come up with pics of older GT500's with them. I know it's a little OCD, but I'd like to see them on my car before I pull the trigger. Thanks in advance.

    Wheels Question/Opinions Needed

    I'm looking at buying these wheels to put on my Shelby, but have a question or two first. I realize the front wheels will be narrower than my stock wheels and want to know if that'll result in any noticeable handling difference. Opinions? Also, I know these for the GT's just fine, but is...

    Drunk Driver

    Soooooo, on my way home from Wal-Mart, a drunk turned into me causing me to slam on the brakes, swerve and hit the curb with my right front wheel damaging it and the tire. I followed the car and she's a resident here at my apt complex . I called the PD and they showed up and actually took my...

    Shooting Flames out of Exhaust

    I'm curious to know what it takes for flames to shoot out of the exhaust pipes on my car. Has anyone had this on theirs? I was at a meet the other day and a few people were asking me if mine did and I didn't know if it did or not. I know I could put a Go Pro back there, but I don't have one...

    13-6 Kit hitting 200mph: Chime In

    I'm curious. Has anyone with a 13-6 kit with or without a pulley hit 200mph? If not, what's the top speed everyone has seen with their respective GT500's? I'm curious how much the extra HP I have with the kit (13-6 w/o pulley) will help achieve 200mph.

    BMR Rear Swaybar Review

    So I got the rear sway bar from BMR installed this weekend and it was better than expected. The Shelby now feels just as and if not more planted than my Boss did, which was my goal. Body roll is virtually eliminated and I feel like I know exactly what the rear tires are doing as they communicate...

    BMR Rear Swaybar

    Well, I pulled the trigger on the BMR rear swaybar. Hopefully I'll receive ity by Friday and have it installed on Saturday. I'm hoping to see as much of a difference with it as I did with the front swaybar. Anyone install this yet, if so what is the best setting and are there any tips or tricks...

    BMR Front Swaybar Review

    So I got my front swaybar installed on the Shelby. It did exactly what I hoped it would. Turn in is more accurate and crisp and the front end doesn't get pushed into the turn as before. I also feel like I have more communication coming from the front than before. There is no longer a lag in the...

    BMR Front 5 Hole Adjustable Swaybar

    A few questions on this piece: http://www.revanracing.com/products/sway-bar-kit-front-hollow-38mm-5-hole-adjustable.html# Will it fit a track pack optioned car? How difficult is install? How much better is turn in and body roll with this part installed? Is it worth it if you already have...

    Rear Wheel HP with 13-6 Kit and No Pulley Upgrade

    Just curious. For those with a 13-6 kit (stock pulley) on an otherwise stock GT500, what HP are you putting down? What's HP at the crank? I'd like to get some fender plates with 700 on them and want to be close. Thanks, I don't have the time to go dyno it myself. Thanks!

    Revan Racing 13-6 Kit and Suspension Package Review

    Well, like many others on here, I finally purchased the 13-6 kit and suspension set up from Van. First, Van is first class at customer service and will get more business from me in the future. I really appreciate his time, effort, advice and honesty when it comes to helping customers...

    Front and Rear Swaybars

    Has anyone installed upgraded front AND rear swaybars on their GT500? If so, how much difference did it make? My car has PP and TP, so I don't know if that would affect my ability to upgrade the swaybars, but I'd like to. Is it possible and is it worth it? I'm thinking of going with the Eibach...

    Oil Temp Gauge Question

    *Forgive me if this has been answered before* Does the oil temp gauge climbing (past halfway point in green) relate to the engine heat soaking? Example: After a spirited run through the gears high into fourth, the oil temp gauge climbs past the halfway point in the green normal range. It's...

    Ford Racing Mufflers!!!

    I got my new Ford Racing mufflers installed two days ago and all I can say is that the GT500 should come from the factory with these. I knew it would be louder and still sound good, but I had no idea it would sound this loud and this good! Headers is not even an option at this point because I...
