    wait for passenger side airbag?

    I've recently had driver airbag permanent fix. Because of the additional complexity and risk of dash damage issues for passenger side, how many of us are gonna wait for the permanent passenger side fix and not have the temporary one done? Just seems sensible to avoid having the pass. side taken...

    FGT owners and their GT350R

    How many of you have ordered (or have) your GT350R in same paint scheme as big brother? For me that would be Red/White, so presumably would also be 2-3 mph faster than other color options.

    C7 vs C6 Z06

    So at the end of the day is the C6 with N/A 427 and 320 fewer pounds to tote around gonna be the better road course car vis-a-vis the 2015 650/650 blaster?? Except, of course for the impeccable shifting of the auto tranny.

    Boss 302 vs GT 500

    Was at the Ford Dealer today and he happened to have both a Spanking new Shelby and a Boss 302 sitting side by side! The GT 500 was already sold out of state and awaiting shipping. The Boss was available. So let's hear what eveyone thinks the differences are in terms of street drivin' fun...

    Whom to get stripes/graphics from?

    I was at my local graphics shop inquiring about applying stripes to another car to match the ones on my FGT. He suggested that someone has already gone to the trouble of designing and laser cutting stripes for various sporty cars and that it would be far less expensive for me to buy a pre-made...

    How long was the 'drag on' straight run at NOLA?

    Who knows how many feet it was to the red-flag 'time to seriously consider braking' cones. I'm trying to figure out what part of a mile we had before jumping on the binders. Redeemed

    optimal tow hook placement

    After NOLA gotta get nose hook placement for 2 'other' cars. Loved trailering the FGT to Rally 7. I've got a single car Pacer trailer all set up with E-track and a winch. So where and how do I place a permanent nose hook similar to what's on the world's greatest car on my '09 Viper and my '01...

    '13 Boss 302LS vs '13 GT500

    So what are the variables between these 2? Suspension, weight, brakes, power, other??? I'm beginning to look, but not in any hurry. Like tracking, but have no interest in dragstrip. Car would also be on the street on weekends for enjoyment. I've not had a Mustang since my 64 and 1/2 stick...

    Does trailer winch need fairlead?

    Since the FGT winching hook is offset, is a fairlead necessary on a center-mounted winch?

    What is best winch for inside trailer?

    I need to place a winch at the front of a 20' Pace trailer, since this trailer has no side door. Definitely want the cordless controller. It will be used on a coupla other cars in the same weight range, so 4000 lbs would seem like plenty. And does everyone just put a 12 v. battery alongside...

    Is two years too long?

    Hey, I'm as lazy as the next guy... scratch that, I'm LAZIER than most!! My question for all you anal-retentive gearheads is: Is it reasonable to go TWO years between oil and filter changes, with the following provisos. I use only the specified OEM oil (always a full synth--Mobil 1 [except the...

    What is suggested tire pressure for Bridgies on track?

    I'm getting things set for MMP at SLC. Will be shipping her. What would those with experience suggest for tire pressures? Running Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 265/40/18 front and Potenza Scuderia 345/35/19 rear. And what lug nut torque? Thanks, Bert

    Getting the GT to SLC from Alabama

    Need to make plans for hauling GT to SLC. I've talked to Jack of Excellence Auto Carriers and we need to get a trailer full for best pricing. I'm on the way out of Florida, close to ATL on I85, so it would be easy to start in FL and get me on the way by. REDEEMED

    I need to see your FGT photos of your rocker panel stripe delete!

    Yea, I know they're not really on the rocker panel, but you know what I mean. I'm considering peeling the side decals for a little more 'under the radar' appearance. So who has some photos of their sidestripe delete FGT? Would be nice to see it in RED. I've prowled thru lots of photos on...
