Hi, my name is John. Bought a 2014 Black GT500 a couple of months ago. Not driving it much but it's a blast when I do! Have put on a passenger side oil catch can, JLT intake pipe and installed hood struts( probably the best mod!). Went to Shelbyfest in JC, MO yesterday. If anyone went there, you probably saw my car. Anyways, looking forward to being an active member on here. Btw, can someone tell me the difference of the membership services, i.e. the difference between the monthly services vs. the annual membership? Thanks in advance!

Welcome to SVTPerformance! Let’s see some photos of this bad boy! There is so much knowledge on this forum. You’ll enjoy yourself a lot if you like to joke around and learn a lot. Many members on here can help you in just about anything, we are great at spending others money!

@SID297 or @03cobra#694 could probably give you a better description of such things.

Not sure why the first picture is cut off in the front and back. It's a factory stripe delete car, perf. pack, track pack , Recaros, nav and sub in the trunk. Oddly, it wasn't factory ordered with the car cover. Seems like most are. Had 19,xxx when I bought it. Has more miles but still 19,xxx lol.

Thanks! For what little research I've done, black was the most popular color but I think only 6xx were factory stripe delete. There are definitely more rare combos out there. I guess I need to get a Marti report.

Oh Yeah..remove your clutch pedal return spring ;) You'll thank us here at SVTP for it later.
I've read a little about that but not sure I fully understand why. Does it make the clutch pedal softer? My clutch pedal doesn't seem all that bad.

I’ll send you a link later on it. It’ll make it better, just went through this as I just got mine. Tried stock spring, Steeda spring and no spring. Not so much softer but more predictable and not fighting me. Mine had Matt black believe. My seats are just black, not sure how the stripe delete ones come. Possibly just black also.

Welcome to SVTP, congrats & good luck with the 14.
Mod plans ??
.
Thanks! Honestly, not sure what I want to do. Part of me wants to do some mods and part of me wants to basically keep it stock. The few minor things I have done can easily be reversed to bring it back to completely stock as I kept all of the original parts. But I was thinking of doing a pulley/tune. I just don't want to go down a rabbit hole if you know what I mean lol. Maybe bring crank HP up to ~700. I think that would still be pretty safe.

Here's one of the video I like the most. I was told the same thing knowing nothing about it when I first got mine on here. I drove with it initially of course, then removed it and drove a few weeks. I then spent just over 100 bucks for the lesser 95lb Steeda and drove with it. I then removed that for no spring pedal. Regardless, try and see what you think. It's a very easy install so worth a try. You won't put it back in.....

Thanks! I have already purchased the premium membership. I just didn't know what the differences were between the other memberships. Maybe I'm a little dense lol. Do they give varying amounts of access to the site?
