I took my car out for a drive yesterday. 08 with the 2.9 Whipple kit from Ford. Ford tune. 21.5k miles. Whipple since under 5 k. Drove about 12 miles. Didn't push car hard. Once to 6k early in the drive 1st gear only then 5500 in 2nd. No issue. Felt fine. Went to a store and parked it...

I was in the same boat as the OP. My 08 still had the factory Goodyear's at 19K miles when I bought it a little over a month ago. I'm not going to change wheels at the moment so I wanted to go with the same sizes as oem. Bought a set of the Michelin Pilot Sport AS/3 Very happy with them...

I'm back! I was a former GT500 owner. Ordered and bought a Vapor Silver 08. Got it in Dec 07 after a 27 month wait from deposit date. Kept it 2 years and sold it with less than 5K miles on it since it just sat with a hefty payment. It was stock other than KR mufflers due to my 2 closest...

Hello All, Just got my new to me GT500. An 08 with 19K miles. My 2nd one. The car didn't get driven much by the former owner and had a bad battery. She agreed to a new one before the sale. The shop talked her into a Optima Yellowtop. Group 35. It's physically just a touch smaller than...
