My first ford ever, 2014 gt500

[Troy1999]

I had 3 corvettes before this, a c5, c6 z06, and c7 z06. All amazing cars with crazy capabilities. We have 2 kids and found myself not using the c7 much. Passed on the zl1s, just don’t like the way they look. This gt500 is a blast to drive and the whole family enjoys it!

Welcome aboard. Heres a very recent thread with some good cliff notes about the 13/14

Possibly buying a 13-14 Shelby in the future...

Hey svtp! I'm not overly knowledgeable when it comes to the 13-14 Shelby's. I'm mainly wondering what the difference (if any) between the two years are? It doesn't look like prices are dropping anytime soon either. Which means I'd likely have to finance some through my credit union. Any good...

It has not been modified at all. Has 6400 miles on it. To be honest, it is too powerful for the goodyear f1 tires that come stock. Tires will be a must soon. I was thinking Nittos, suggestions?? Thank you!

i daily and Michelin AS3 have been god send, even tracked on them once wasn’t bad. I think they have new “summer / season” tires too that are supposed to be even better.

Do the 315's fit on the stock wheels?

Like butter. Nitto drags is the best $600 you will spend on that stock car. Do it. Today.

I don't daily drive ours, but I can second how good the Michelin A/S3+ tires are. I like to drive some below 40 degrees, so the Michelins are a must.

I’m retiring mine soon (not that it matters im up to 85k anyway) but since we’re building In north GA and I want to do fall runs up the parkway I’m going AS3 for life!

Id really like to try a pair but the sound of road debris being picked up and thrown at the underside ..... well, it bugs me

hoping house is done feb - ill be out of law school in May so around then. My wife is going ahead of me and ill likely have it garaged once house is done and daily something “responsible”. I’d love to see what it Dynos after 84k HARD miles.

Car looks mint! Congrats.
About tires. Drag radials are good at one thing, straight line traction on the dry. And I know how much it rains in Louisiana. DR’s also feel laterally squishy in a corner.
Consider Toyo 888. Even in the stock size. They hook as good as a DR, feel 100% in corners at speed & are actually driveable on the wet if you don’t get crazy. Trust me, a DR on the wet is exactly like driving on ice.

 

[Troy1999]

Thank you. I have heard of the toyos. I may go that route. Still asking around.

I was gonna make mention of that. Im a big supporter on R888s. Safe for pop up showers if you stow the careless driving style
I run Michelin up front
