    Interesting traffic stop.

    Today, while getting on the freeway, I wrapped out 3rd before easing off, sliding in to 6th and settling into highway traffic. I checked my mirrors just in time to see a sheriff dept crossing 4 lanes of traffic. OOPS. I pull off and the female deputy approaches with a grin. We go through the...

    $300 to spend, what would you do.

    I work oil field and times are lean, so I'm watching the budget these days. But I have about $300 to spend on a stock non SVTPP car. I also just bought a '96 F-350 with the 7.3 powerstroke (sold another vehicle to buy the F-350 to pull a trailer). I know this is SVT blasphemy, but for $300, I...

    Is the clutch adjustable.

    I did a search and found a bunch of threads about what clutch to use, but my question is more simplistic. Is the stock clutch adjustable in any way. I'm betting no, but figured I'd ask.

    Very odd occurance. Any ideas?

    My wife was driving the Shelby yesterday. She exited the freeway from about 70mph under coast, still in 6th, and as she approached the light noticed the engine stalled. She said there were no jerks, or noises, and she didn't even notice it stalled until she noticed the charge (battery) light...

    Tires for 2011 GT500 Daily Driver

    I have a 2011 GT500 NON-SVPP, that I bought in July with new tires on it. It has P-zeros out back and P-zero Neros on the front. While doing an oil change I noticed the inside edges of the fronts are toast. So now I need an alignment and new fronts. I did notice when I got it, that the front...

    Dependable dealer service in Houston Area - Dreaded 1-2 shift grind!

    I've read MANY threads on the dreaded 1-2 shift. My car will grind horribly if shifted above about 5000-5500 and about 1/3 of those times, not let me in 2nd (although that could be me giving up at the nauseating sound of grind). I really considered the AMSOIL, shifter, WOT approach, but bottom...

    Bench racing: Heat Exchanger VS. Pulley/Tune for first mod.

    How do I get that contrast. Black with Black stripes

    I just bought a 2011 GT500, black with matte black stripes. I like the subtley of it, but then I saw this http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh259/bellanca07/00c63aaf.jpg How do I get that "pop". I plan to use Klasse polish. Used it for years and love the stuff, but not sure how to handle the...

    New owner Questions

    Just bought my 2011 Shelby GT500, and I have a few questions. 1. How do I know if my car has the performance package (thinking it doesn't, but want to be sure) 2. What are best bang for the buck mods to start with 3. How much DEPENDABLE HP are the stock bottom ends good for?
