Very good friend had his car arrive unexpectedly Saturday late to dealer. I was cruising around and happened to see a new GT at our dealer and sure enough his Dark Horse is there too. Base DH with the auto because it’ll have one of the first Whipple blowers on it. Hoping to go to NMRA BG with it...

Very excited! I’ve really missed my Charger Hellcat and want to have a manual Widebody before they stopped making them. Unfortunately that was harder than expected but Tuesday and Wednesday confirmed I have an allocation that will be built. -Destroyer Grey 717hp Widebody Challenger Hellcat...

Nice job to my buddy Bruce! Second pass on new setup including a G-force built Magnum and a Black Magic slipper clutch and RPG 5.8 with a Gen 3 VMP. It’s out of blower but might have some 8.50s in fall. 8 second stick Shelby was the goal and nailed it pass 2! -J

Last Thursday was a good day. Got a call from the dealer my ‘22 Mach 1 HP Tremec car that wasnt built will be built in March and then walked in to Holbrook Racing Engines to find this beauty sitting on display to make my Christmas. Bear block Holbrook spec Coyote ready for 30#+ and 1500hp+ Going...

https://www.enginelabs.com/videos/on-the-dyno/sema-2022-vmp-performance-hunts-down-horsepower-on-predator-engine/ Looks like a nice option. Hopefully I’ll finger bang it at PRI. -J

Nice surprise after a long day at work. I have not paid attention to the earlier years other than that the supercharger rotors I believe are a carry over. Here’s the pics. -J

Finally! Been a long trip and even longer since seeing it built a few weeks ago. I’ll be detailing it myself today and then add better pics. The Trackhawk will be missed. -J

The last new Mustang I bought was my 2014 in June 2013. Still have it and I brought Jaeger Bros front ‘mud flaps’ for the 4hr drive home. A car buddy went with me and he and the dealer found it funny watching me install them on a new car. Fast forward to today, my ‘22 is due this week or next...

Very impressive trip to see my ‘22 GT500 built! Many passionate employees understand how these cars are an important part of our lives. I missed seeing my 2014 built when my son was born in 2013, so very lucky this was able to happen. For those waiting on their new Mustang, know you’re in good...

Looks like my ‘22 GT500 will finally be built next week. Back in April I was given a build week of 6/13 then it went last week to day of 6/16 now showing day of 6/13. Blend date on window sticker is 6/13. Price also increased. I’ll report back but I signed on and deposited $5k back in November...

This was from a cancelled 2021 retail order the customer didn’t want to wait on: https://www.yarkford.com/new/Ford/2022-Ford-Shelby+GT500-53168ac10a0e09b051601fd697442455.htm PM me is interested. -J

Sorry in advance if issues with a Facebook link (I don’t have an account) but the guy in the video is a good friend and hardcore Ford guy. He wanted to share this for awareness and education. VERY happy to say he’s getting better by the day. I play in this same rink and league just in the 30+...

This shut down the highway for my Thursday commute. High speed chase was called off but later the SUV did a U-turn thru the grass and drove into oncoming traffic. 41y/o driver 38y/o passenger died in SUV thankfully truck drivers both alive...

Sorry for you 2013 Shelby and Coyote guys, but 2014 Owners just got a cage break: https://www.motortrend.com/news/new-nhra-rules-for-2014-newer-cars/ -J

I told my brother I’d ask the SVTP faithful. He has an original Terminator motor, currently with what is likely a ring issue. It still ran and he stopped making passes only because the smoking was getting worse. He bought it out of an interior fire convertible and swapped it into his ‘86 GT back...

Still amazed my wife didn’t kill me for cancelling her Pacifica Hybrid order. I really did like my ordered ‘20 Ram Laramie Night package but I’ve missed my Hellcat Charger and this was hard to pass up at MSRP. Sorry in advance for the poor pics, I’m waiting on a replacement phone. It rained...

My engine builder (Chris Holbrook Racing Engines) had a customer order THREE of these and they were delivered this week. Great deal for the money when you break it down. Dealer cost just under $23k Whose ordering one? :) -J

Long time coming but I finally have a confirmed order for a GT500! ‘22 Base Eruption Green Black painted roof Stripe delete Handling pack Tech pack Recaros CF interior Black car cover Deposit placed, confirmed it’s their first allocation and first order, went in early Tuesday morning. Color...

Getting ready to put in a 2022 GT500 order in as soon as the banks open. I’m familiar with the 500’s options while still hoping we get at least a few cool last year updates/new options. The biggest decision will still be color. I’m liking the 2 new hot button colors, namely Oil Slick Blue Purple...

Looking ideally for a 2R case only for a Coyote swap project. Will considered damaged 2R blowers in need of rebuild. I have a new Trinity 5.8 blower and looking to keep the stock case for my 2014, so looking to transfer new 2.3 rotor pack and bearing plate into a VMP COYOTE 2R case. Cosmetic...

SVTP member @spruce doing work at a local track rental at Milan. For those that doubt the stock clutch or the benefit of gears, smart mods, good tuning on E85, and a helluva driver. Nice job again buddy, check out the YouTube vid: -J

My brother has decided to tear his car down and restart after a few years off, so he’s asked me to sell his complete FAST XFI 2.0 with XIM and ID1300. This was updated in October 2018 and only had one Dyno session and one track session on it. What are other aftermarket tuning options for guys...

Shop car of Walsh Motorsports near Detroit, with owner Donny Walsh driving his car, the 2020 Iconic Silver base GT500 went three 9.80s between 149-153mph trap speeds. Very impressive to watch, still on heavy stock wheels with Nitto 555R IIs. Looks like I have to swap to my phone to post pics...

GT500 5.8: Coyote 5.0: Fun comparison on same blower, same Dyno, same day. Both ported secret sauce VMP GEN 3R blowers with 163R TBs. Both Ethanol fuel (Ignite E90 Coyote, VP C85 Shelby). Coyote is an S550 (built 6R with full lock, so virtually no slip like a clutch car) with a Built...

Well, I’m happy overall. Hard to be upset with an 1100rwhp SAE 7500rpm street car. Due to @Justin@VMP being in town and the Woodward Cruise weekend, I moved up my tuning day a week early with my friend Lidio at Alternative Auto Performance. On Friday we found that as soon as we started pushing...
