    Good to hear of your experience with the StopTech drilled and slotted 1-piece rotors, Tom. I intend to install and bleed the brakes myself. Never did that before but have decided that this task is well within my capabilities to accomplish and learn something new. For the earlier question, stock...

    It has been a while since I posted pictures of my 2014 Shelby. After several years of searching, my final customization will be realized --- painted front and rear calipers. They will be Brembo red with white lettering. I also decided to go with a full rotor and pad upgrade --- StopTech drilled...

    Aeroforce Gauges show boost?

    Similar to RBB above, I elected to utilize a mechanical boost gauge which required threading the supplied plastic vacuum tube all the way through the firewall directly into the triple SOS pillar pod housing the Autometer boost gauge. The angle was tricky because the vacuum line must not be...

    PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG RECALL

    Not to belabor the point, but initially the NHTSA did seem to have a regional prioritization recall on the passenger side airbag. Unlike the driver airbag recall which was unequivocal, the passenger airbag recall seems to have morphed to the recent full replacement including additional year...

    PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG RECALL

    I just received my recall notice for my 2014 GT500 yesterday as well. It would seem that the NHTSA got involved and turned this recall from a "geographical" based recall (southern states were issued the recall, northern states were not part of the recall), to ALL affected year GT500's are now...

    Who has a VMP Gen3 TVS

    For what it's worth, the calibrator/tuner skill set is everything. I can't stress that point enough. For every possible supercharger / throttle body / CAI combination, someone will have had a horrible experience with said combination and another someone will have zero issues and rave about the...

    Whipple Supercharger Oil

    I swear this was discussed somewhere in the 2013-2014 Shelby GT500 forums in the past, but search is not finding the post. I have a Whipple 4.0L supercharger (WK-200240P W245AX GT500 CRUSHER KIT) on my 2014 GT500. I believe this model supercharger takes Whipple Supercharger Oil part number...

    Post most recent pics of your '13-14 GT500

    Speaking of colored calipers, I did a search recently regarding any vendor/company offering colored front Brembo calipers (and the Ford rear calipers) for my 2014 GT500 that are completely assembled (e.g. pistons are installed and ready to be assembled to the car). Specifically, I would like to...

    Headers and hi flow cats

    Similar to 1 Alibi 2, I have Kooks 1-7/8-inch headers and Kooks "Green" catted H-pipe (not an X-pipe), mated to OEM mufflers. I personally like the sound of an H-pipe over an X-pipe, and this Kooks setup allows me to pass New York State emissions inspections without an issue and without fear of...

    What is the Widest tire on a 2015 mustang I can run?

    Does anyone have any comments/experience with the SVE GT350 replica wheels in the 20x10 size? There does not seem to be much uptake in these wheels, but to my eye they come closest to the OEM GT350 wheels (the original OEM GT350 wheels are very expensive at ~$1,000 apiece, and are staggered as...

    Post your GT500 pics with aftermaket wheels!

    For the front Alcoa wheels, they are 20x9 with 265/30R/Z20 MPSS tires. The rear Alcoa wheels are 20x10 with 285/30R/Z20 MPSS tires. My Alcoa wheels are "standard" size (meaning no modifications). EDIT: So sorry. Tires are 35R profile height, not 30R.

I put my 2014 Shelby GT500 'vert into storage in my own garage in December for the winter, filling...
