With nicer weather around the corner, are y'all prepping your rides and getting stuff done? If so, what all are you doing?
To get the ball rolling- here is what is currently on my to do/thinking about list:
On the 2009 I'm about to completely revamp the stereo system. I already put in a...
Car is a 2010 currently at 681whp but should go up to low 700ish when I get longtubes on with retune. Bought car and got it legally on the road today and "got into it" a little bit for the first time trying a 60% throttle pull from low rpm in 6th gear and felt the nauseating feel of it...
Am looking for 5.4L valve covers for my 09 GT500 if anyone has a set they wouldn't be too brokenhearted to see go away. Haven't fully decided what motif to go with... but leaning towards getting a clean set of valve covers powdercoated Vista Blue. Not sure what to do about dressing up the rest...
Does anyone know if anyone makes 325x30x20 or 335x30x20 drag radials? Have 335x30 MPSS radials on now. Have run 315x30 Proxes but they are a tad too short. Have seen them in 315x35s also, but they are a tad too tall. 325x30s or 335x30s are just right at 27.7"-28.0". But I can't find those...
Have heard there is a good turnout for this get together. May head that way to check other people's rides out. The show is a benefit for veterans.

2009 gt500 with 13-14 20x9.5" gt500 rear wheels. Have purchased Michelin PS2 335x30x20 tires.
Edit: have sent them to Eric Vaughn in Cali aiming for 12" wide when done. Will update once back and mounted up.
2009 gt500 with 13-14 20x9.5" gt500 rear wheels. Have purchased Michelin PS2 335x30x20 tires. Looking to get the wheels widened to somewhere between 11.5-12". Anyone know of a wheel/machine shop in Maryland, DC, or Northern VA that widens rims? Ye Olde Wheel Shop in Elkridge will- but you...
Seems like most people are saying the offset should be et56-62. From all the rims I see widened, it doesn't look like the barrel is affected at all- the added width is added to the back of the rim so the face of the rim and tire sit where they did prior to the rim being widened... is that...
2009 gt500 with 13-14 20x9.5" gt500 rear wheels. Am balancing various benefits of buying new rims and tires versus widening my rear rims and going with a 325 or 335 mpss tire. I have done tons of searching for info, but noone difinitively says what widening (Weldcraft) costs, or exactly what...
Gates open at 10 and I think the track fires up at high noon. Could grab breakfast at Rips in Bowie where 197 meets 301, the Nautilus restaurant in Crofton, or anywhere else...?
Anyone planning for this?
Edit: Have a few from Southern MD planning to meet at one of the spots for breakfast...
Am weighing pros and cons of getting my rear wheels widened and then putting wider donuts on versus buying a new set.
Has anyone got any perspective/intel on Project 6GR wheels? Or... give opinions on the wheels in the first pic going on my 09 in the 2nd pic below.
Was looking at their...
Bill did a cam job on the GT500 and LundRacing did the tune. Work done a couple weeks ago and she runs well. Car has shorty headers and stock pulleys and a very safe 93 tune so I've been told to expect "only" 740rwhp. It isn't a monster like many of the other beasts in MACA, but I like her...
For Sale: 305/35/20 Mickey Thompson drag radials w/ less than 100 miles - $500
Just got these put on no more than 2 weeks ago, but have decided that I prefer the stiffer feel of regular radials for general driving. Tires have literally no more than 100 miles on them. The person who put them...
I have 2013/14 "base" wheels with 19's in front and 20x9.5's in the rear with 285's on them. Can't roll any more than 40% throttle in 3rd without it breaking loose and will even break loose in 4th. Don't think a drag radial in same size would help and don't think a wider tire on the rim (if...
Figured someone might have extra I can rent as opposed to it going unused and figured part of the whole deal is to hang out with buds. I am driving down.
Now for the hokey personals ad...
I'm 47, love long walks on the beach (just not with any of you all), don't smoke, don't drink (I make...
I can text pics of anything, but figure most know what all of this looks like. I assure all that you won't be disappointed with the condition of anything. Good amount of mostly (but not all) stock parts from 09 GT500. Some parts have 0 miles and I don't think any have more than 600 miles on...
EDIT: Purchased 09 GT500 - Close thread, please.
Hi all. Budget flexible depending on the car.... Am looking for a gt500 and nothing else. Please do not pm me- either reply here or text/call me at 443-404-6296. Thanks, Harry.
Offering these wheels with tires for sale. Pulled these off to put the stock 97 wheels on for the winter and most likely will sell the car before spring rolls around to get these back on and post 3 back surgeries, I don't see myself putting them back on if I still have the car.
I bought the...
Selling (2) 295/35/18 Bridgestone RE760 Sport & (2) 275/35/18 Nankang NS-20 tires. I will post pics tomorrow. To give an idea how little miles is on them, the Nankangs have Nankang NS-20 shallowly inscribed in the center rib which can still be seen almost like new. The Bridgestones were put...
