    Dang! I've gotten punched by Covid!

    Depends who you trust for treatment options. Several doc friends who are on the front lines fighting this thing and one of my doctors who specializes with infectious disease, have other options that have proven very successful with the many patients and family members they’ve treated.

    Dang! I've gotten punched by Covid!

    I hope everyone who is sick gets better quickly. Definitely can turn into a very scary situation quickly when infected and early treatment is key. Unfortunately it appears with omicron, the previous monoclonal antibody treatments are not effective for the omicron variant, however there is the...

    What is this noise?

    My 2014 had the same noise, albeit intermittent and was most noticeable when listening near the wheel well area. I found this video on YouTube that could be the root cause of the noise.

    2020 GT500 vs. 2019 ZR1 ...Roll Race

    I think one thing we don't know is; what gear did the ZR1 start in? Did the owner simply just floor the car in auto mode? I think if that is the case, that would explain the quick hit the GT500 had; advantage DCT and why the ZR1 had to catch up. Either way, fun comparison but for an accurate...

    2020 gt500 10.6 run at Atco

    Agreed, I am impressed as well. I think he also had the passenger seat and back seats out for weight savings, but that cannot be worth very much.

    Sickest you’ve been?

    Had a bad case of viral pneumonia in my early 20's. Most of the symptoms that mimic flu, but doctors could not determine what was wrong with me. Fever, body aches, congestion, and extremely tired and ill. Tested me for everything under the sun from HIV, to syphilis, mono, and other common...

    Surprised no one has made a post yet about the new fastest/quickest 2020

    Agreed, but still impressive for whatever a resonator delete (CAI) is and weight removal. I wonder if that was on the stock rear tires?

    Suspension upgrades

    Tom, other than your avatar, it's been a while since I've seen that beast. Awesome ride! Brings back a lot memories of my old SN95.

    2020 500 already broken?

    Are you serious? I sure wasn't. Take a look at my signature for new cars.

    2020 500 already broken?

    What oil? Doesn't the car come off the truck with everything you need to rip around in, including gas and oil?

    Best GT500 content on YT?

    Very cool video indeed. Props to that kid for using his car as it's capable of, and also being one of the first, if not the first to post these types of videos of the new 2020 GT500. FYI- the white FD 3rd Gen RX7 has a Wankel rotary motor that tends to run rich, and any time an owner installs...

    Car and Driver tests GT500. Runs 11.4@132...

    I agree. The Demons sole and only purpose is a 1/4 mile. Anything after ~140mph is up for grabs.

    10.66@132 private novice hands, good prep

    10.6@133 is getting down for sure. Car has to be going low 10's on skinnies/tires in perfect air.

    Is the Trinity still "King of the Hill"???

    Tom, I agree with your take. For the reasons you stated above as well as a few others, are the reasons I went with a new Z06 last May in lieu of waiting for the GT500 to be released. It's not that I could not afford an ADM, I simply do not wish to play that game. So, the Z06 will hold me out at...

    2020 Shelby GT500 Mustang - 10.61@133 MPH - Press Drive Articles/Vids

    Dude, this guy is another one of those immature internet trolls. My suggestion is to add him to ignore list ( like I am doing ) because his posts offer zero value and are only meant to stir the pot.

    2020 Shelby GT500 Mustang - 10.61@133 MPH - Press Drive Articles/Vids

    I think you stand on your own two feet here. If you're that naïve, I would suggest logging off this site, going out and doing some research (because there is a lot of information showing this car is and will be very capable on a track), then coming back and posting as an informed non-ignorant...

    2020 Shelby GT500 Mustang - 10.61@133 MPH - Press Drive Articles/Vids

    This car about much more than a 1/4 mile pass, incase you've missed that.

    GT500 beats cars 2-3x its price at Road Atlanta

    MIR is an awesome track especially this time of year for making hero runs. Never cared for Cecil County but a lot of people pull off great times due to being at or slightly lower than sea level. Atco is Atco, fast runs happen there for sure.

    GT500 beats cars 2-3x its price at Road Atlanta

    I believe that. I can could see 10.7's with better weather/driving, or maybe even better hero runs at Atco or MRI in the crisp fall air.

    GT500 beats cars 2-3x its price at Road Atlanta

    If DA was 3500 +/-, an estimate for 11.3@127mph would be high 10's @ 130ish at sea level and about the same at 2500 DA, give or take. I still think the car with practice launching will be in the 10.7 - 10.8 range @ 130+/- which will be a direct competition in the 1/4 mile for the Hellcat...

    GT500 beats cars 2-3x its price at Road Atlanta

    If that is the case, I would expect a half second and several mph improvement in better air. The car should be capable of 10.8's or slightly better at 130-132mph which is excellent for a vehicle designed to be a jack of many trades.

    GT500 beats cars 2-3x its price at Road Atlanta

    I'll be honest in that I didn't care for the Shadow Gray Metallic that much because it has too much of a blue/green look to it. I like the white/black accents any day. The Watkins Glen Grey Metallic OTOH is an awesome color but wasn't offered for 2019. /thread hijack off

    GT500 beats cars 2-3x its price at Road Atlanta

    Tony, As you know; you'll love the ZR1. It should not disappoint by any stretch of the imagination in looks or performance. What combo/options did you order? When I purchased my '19 Z06 earlier this year (long beach red) the dealer had a Shadow Gray Metallic ZR1 on the showroom floor that was...

    Engine Tech

    First. More hp/tq down low and given I know what the car is, it’s significantly lighter weight.
