Getting ready to call it quits for the driving season here in upstate NY. Just passed 8500 miles on the odometer this week. Ran some rough calculations: Got the car on 6/4 about 5 months ago so I averaged about 56 miles per day Gas prices here for 93 have been as high as $4.40 but...

Here are some quick shots with 20% tint on side windows and rear window. Really cools things off inside and have no issues with seeing out during the day. Have not tried night driving yet. Really glad I switched order from 35% to 20%. Also got 3M clear film on full hood, front bumper...

Watkins Glen SCDA Event - Track Video Went to the SCDA event at Watkins Glen last week and had a blast learning how to drive on a track. It was my first time so I was in the Novice session. Both days had the same schedule, drivers meeting at 8am, novice classroom from 9 to 10, and four 30min...

Headed to Watkins Glen on July 9 & 10th for my first track session. Need to get a helmet and was wondering what recommendations folks have and features I should look for. Also, should I be thinking about different brake pads for the first time out or any other mods I should consider? Will...

Car delivered 6/4. Here's my initial write-up: http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/2013-shelby-gt500-413/842355-those-lucky-few-schedule-dates-45.html#post11874786 Took a bunch of photos today that include the new hood struts and floor mats: 2013 Shelby GT500 Will try some...

Did not find a link to the 2013 Users Manual on the Ford website. Anyone know if that is avaialble for download? Would also be nice to get the shop manual too if anyone has info on how to do that. Thanks

Anyone ordered personalized plates yet and if so what did you get? Do you think having a personalized plate is a liability?

My dealer got the following email friday from the regional rep. Not sure exactly what that means for my ship date, which I don't have yet, but it can't hurt! ============================================= Sent: Friday, May 11, 2012 8:53 AM Subject: GREAT NEWS - MUSTANG GT500 OKTB...

It's for 2012 but the format seems pretty consistent year to year so only the engine code is probably not correct. I suggest when you can get a VIN from your dealer that youy verify it. I just checked the VIN associated with my order and it's for a 5.0 GT Coupe :??: Calling dealer to sort...

Called the 800 number today and gave the girl my dealer id and order number. She said I was scheduled for build to start the week of 4/23. Called salesman right after to see if they had the same info but the GM was not available so he was going to check with him first chance he gets and call...

I spoke with the Ford SVT group via their 800 "hot line" and the gentleman that answered assured me that the black stripes were indeed a flat finish. He said that was the case regardless of the base color. I had my dealer add the stripes back on. Pricing was up on his system also as...

I'm looking to cover my rather pitted garage floor with 12" interlocking floor tiles. Was wondering if anyone has done that and how that has worked out. Any information on specific brands would be appriciated. Thanks

I'm still on the fence with the Shaker Pro option. From what I have been able to glean from various sources, it appears to be an additional sub-woofer in the side of the trunk. Perhaps a bit higher wattage overall. Seems like I could put the $1,295 to better use, audio wise, by upgrading...
