Does anybody know how thick the four shims are in the Ford Racing pulley upgrade kit? Thanks! Mike

I bought a 139 mile Black GT from Shelby last fall. Previously I have owned two other GTs. Since it really wasn't sports car weather here in N Idaho I spent the winter installing varous mods including a 2.7" pulley and tune from Torrie. Now that I am driving the car it feels a lot weaker than...

I am considering using my GT exclusively for track day events and not insuring it for road use. Does anyone have a source for track driving school events only? Thanks Mike

This clip attaches to the O2 sensor connector that is on the rear frame extension. I broke the clips when removing the frame extensions to install a bumper delete kit. Anybody have a part number and/or source? Thanks Mike

In August, I managed to crash my GT into a concrete barrier at high speed at the racetrack. The next several weeks were spent sitting on the edge of my seat as the insurance company (Amica Mutual) went through their claims process. Part of this process is to determine the Actual Cash (market)...

Does anyone know where the covers that came with the GT were sourced? I would like to get a similiar cover for my 65 Corvette fuelie. Thanks Mike

Does anyone know if there is a book that tells what equipment a Corvette was manufactured with by serial number (or VIN). For instance how could I know that serial number XXXXXX is an original L88 car, had AC, power windows or whatever? Thanks!

I spent the day at Spokane Raceway today. It was put on by Scott Adare Motorsports. I have racing experience but it was in the distant past so they considered me an "intermediate" and assigned me an instructor for two sessions. After that I was turned loose on my own. The event was well run...

Last fall at the Rally in Las Vegas I fell in love with the look of the bumper delete look so it was one of the first things I did to my new GT. There are two choices one from CDC and one from the GT Guys. I chose the CDC look The installation went fairly easily. I was installing a FRP borla...

Hi, I find that I am marring the cad plating on nuts and bolts that I work on, particularly the larger ones that require more torque on disassembly and installation. I have less trouble working on airplanes since most fasteners are smaller, loaded in shear and requiring less torque. My...

Monday I registered my new toy and took it straight back to my hanger where it has been up on jackstands ever since. I installed Penske double adjustable shocks from T&A, a FRP muffler purchased from a fellow forum member, a CDC bumper delete kit (get the panel back from the paint shop...

On Friday I met my 2000mi black no-stripe GT in CA:tongue and Saturday I started back with Escort 8500 mounted. Everything was going great until the Oregon State Patrol showed up in the rearview mirror. The trooper said that I was going 105mph but wrote me up for 99mph so I was not taken to...

In two days I get to meet my new GT, a 2000mile black no stripe 05 purchased from Kip Sheward Motorsports in MI. Kip was easy to work with and Monday the car was shipped. I live in ID but it was easier to get transport to CA so I decided to have it shipped there and drive it back. The car is...

Has anybody installed a satellite radio in their GT? Where did you put the antenna? I was thinking somewhere under the rear glass and running the wire up the central tunnel. Thanks Mike

What do people here use to color gas caps, gas cap and trunk levers and wheels black? Powder? Anodizing? Regular urathane paint? Also Shelby recently had a car with blacked out tail lights, how is THAT done? Thanks for any information you might provide! Mike

I sold my red GT last December and found that I couldn't live without one so now another is on the way and I want a FRP muffler for it. Let me know what you have and what you want for it. Thanks! Mike

Anybody looking to get rid of a Borla muffler?

My registration check has cleared the bank, the hotel is confirmed and transportation is arranged (unfortunatly my car is not coming) but I don't really have an idea of what the schedule is. Does anyone have a link? I tried a search but came up with a zillion hits. Thanks

OK, I am at the point where I want to add more power. My driving is mostly on very open roads in MT where you can pay speeding fines on the spot and they don't go on your record and accrue points:biggrin. I DON"T want the car louder and I want it to run on 92 octane. The options seem to be...

My FRP transaxle cooler arrived without instructions. I managed to get it installed and even managed to get the fittings to stop leaking but I would like to know the torque specs on the bolts that hold the cooler to the brackets (the ones that go through the rubber dunuts). Thanks in advance...
