    Final production of the current GT500.

    I have a buddy that just picked up an 07 with 900 miles on it. He is getting the mod bug. What do you recommend?, even though it's heavy up front he will still do road course days with it about 6-8 per year. He asked me last night to get some recommendations for him on the following, seams like...

    What you need to know before you pull up next to a ZR1

    The many of the PCA guys have removed them for track use, swapping to a steel rotor. The more aggressive track pads I guess are not playing well, wear wise on some of these. Or maybe it's the thought of a small stone getting lodged between the pad rotor. I have never checked, can these be...

    What you need to know before you pull up next to a ZR1

    If you car is as fast as that guitar monkey, not diet needed:biggrin We have GT weights posted in the mags from 3,400 -3,485 lbs . 3485 is more accurate from what forum members have posted. I think we are +300lbs. The old racers rule was 1 hp per 10lbs. So we give up 30hp in weight. You should...

    What you need to know before you pull up next to a ZR1

    No replacement for displacement. 7.0 vs. 5.4. One note: I hear there is not that much left on the table for the ZR1. My cousin picked one up a couple weeks ago, similar results,actually about 10less rwhp. After power, it boils down to gearing, PTW and traction, as odd as it sounds you...

    7.22 at the Ring!!

    "Holy Hot Wings Batman" How did I miss this. 7:40 on F1's?....could it be true. Let's see, in 2.2 miles Nitto R2's are worth about 4-5 Seconds vs. F1's, in 7 miles.......:eek Could that mean our faithful GT may run 7:24-7:25ish with a simple change of shoes? or maybe faster:eek. All that...

    0 - 200 TT GT Track Numbers

    Yeah I know, what a hunk. :rofl But seriously, ditch those wipers and side mirrors for those top speed runs. Every little bit helps. Who cares what's behind you at 222mph:eek

    Massive rock chip.....

    Used a company called Fix wheel USA in Buena Park, Ca a few years ago. They fixed a BMW M3 rim with the bend like the pic above. The price was very fair and the service was quick. Drop off by 2pm and back by 10am the next day. My friend owns the car now, and it has about 100k on the fix. I...

    15" rotors & 6 piston calipers

    This note from Mark, and Ray's pic are pretty good evidence there is no NEED for anything larger up front, damn near lifts the the back off the ground already. What is even more amazing to me is that stop is done with smaller tire width up front than some others. :eek sure looks like the boys...

    2009 Ferrari California

    :ackPersonally I do not like the tail lights, they did that same thing on the 430 and I think it just looks awful. Maybe they should have had them cone shaped like the old caddys. The profile is very much midget Gran Turismo Maserati. Not bad, just not original. Aside from the Butt looks like...

    Aftermarket Control Arms

    Geez, I sure hope that we don't need to find stuff like this so soon that would be pretty disappointing. I would bet it just a issue with the mfg or even the buyer. Ford is obligated for quite some time to make these parts available. I would try calling the GT hotline if it is still open...

    Help, loose bolts and grease in engine bay

    The Torque sepcs are here via search as I recall. Those bolts are not the ones we had issues with. Never seen that before. It does not look like you lost enough fluid to be concerned about a short drive, unless the belly pan has a quart in it. personally I would remove the other outers and...
