    Launch Control / Throttle Issue, Thoughts???

    My car has been modded and runs on E85, current Lund tune dyno'd 790/804. Car is a beast and runs perfectly until I push the LC button. Once LC is turned on, the moment you press the gas the car spits, spudders, and dies. Start it back up, LC still on and same thing. Start it back up, turn...

    Drag Slick Question, Need Your Help

    All, I'm guessing this has been answered before but I'm having trouble finding info through search. I'm going to get a set of slicks for the drag strip and was thinking Weld 17 inch rims and the Hoosier 17 inch slick. I then got to thinking if I'm going to buy new wheels, etc. why not make the...

    It's Alive!!!! Van is the Man

    It's not quite alive just yet, but it's going to be. Just got off the phone with Van and my baby (Lyla) is getting a nice little refresh before Spring gets here. :banana: Ordered Revan's 800RWHP/800RWTQ Power Package to unleash the Beast, and Revan Racing Suspension System and Dead Hooker...

    How should I spend a pile of cash with Revan?

    When I got my 2014 last year I said I was going to wait for major mods until the warranty expired (only done cosmetic mods to this point). Being that I live in Michigan and the car has set for 4.5 months and counting, I seem to be catching a case of the mod bug. I want to build the car for the...

    Night Driving - Headlights

    So my trip home from Indiana went a little later than expected and I did my first night driving in the Shelby. At least 75% of the cars coming at me on the 2 lane road flashed me thinking I had my bright lights on. Anyone else had this experience? Are the LED headlights that much brighter...

    Their all gonna laugh at me!!!!

    So the wait came to an end last night and I picked up my Shelby at the dealership. During my 20 years of driving I have mostly driven Ford pickup trucks. Hit the ramp to the highway to come home, shifted gears pretty quick to keep RPM's down on the new engine, and started the 100 mile cruise...

    Ramp 51 Reconnaisance Mission

    So today was my 3rd ETA to dealer and again another FAILURE. Decided to take a Sunday drive to Ramp 51 to see what I could see. Low and behold, I found my Shelby sitting on the lot right by the fence. Security wouldn't let me on the lot, but he was nice enough to go verify the VIN and let me...

    Break In Period

    Would like to get opinions on break in time before setting out on a long Interstate cruise control trip. My initial ETA was today, but the car still hasn't been released from the plant (finished building on 6/11). I'm planning to make the 450 mile journey home to visit my parents over 4th of...

    Flat Rock Idled this Week???

    Anyone know if Flat Rock is idled this week? My Shelby went into production last Thursday and SVT told me today that the car could be to the dealer as soon as this Saturday. This would make me think Flat Rock is open, but Ford Customer Service posted on TMS today that Flat Rock is closed this...

    Need Opinion Window Tint

    Here in the great state of Michigan it is illegal to tint the side windows the driver looks through (allowed a few inches at the top but who is going to strip the side windows?????). However, if the windows come from the factory with a tint, it is legal. So what could I get by with if I wanted...
