My car is right at 4,100 miles, it was bone stock until about 3,000 miles when I bought the 13-6 kit from Van with upper pulley. Damn factory clutch is already slipping and smelling funny but it only slips at around 100+ when I nail it in 5th gear. Called Van up from Revan Racing and he's...

Finally got my MPSS on the car, what a difference. They aren't drag radials but the traction gain is quite noticable over the factory good years. Handle awesome in wet and dry conditions. The car feels more predictable now. Anyone on the fence about getting these I highly recommend them. Awesome...

I had a booboo today with a curb and I need the botom portion of the chin spoiler which has some nasty rash on it now. It's the peice that a lot of folks never had installed or didn't come with their cars. Does anyone know how to order one or where from and the part number? I hope I can get one...

Had the car dynoed today to get a baseline before I add the 13-6. I think the numbers are a little high for a stock car. I am not sure how accurate this dyno is but I had about five buddys run their cars on it as well and their numbers seemed about right for what they had with the exception of...

I want to attack the suspension on this car first before I start adding power. I want to go with the BMR boxed lca's non-adjust with poly bushings, BMR LCA relocation brackets, and the non-adjust bmr panhard bar with poly bushings. I am not opting for the adjustable stuff for two reasons. The...

My car is bone stock except for jlt oil separator and redline hood struts. The car is wearing the factory rubber as well. In the mornings when I back the car out of the garage and turn the wheel at about 180 degrees I get a very strange vibration/popping sound and feel through the steering...

A couple of weeks ago I go on a little cat and mouse run trailing my buddies procharged 5.0, in case you guys are wondering he couldn't get away from me. Anyway we stopped to get some fuel at the gas station and I smell clutch, I tell him dude you car smells like clutch big time. Today I got on...

If so, recommendations, advice, comments.....

Was wondering if say a 17x10" torque thrust style wheel would clear the rear brakes on our cars. I am wanting to mount a m/t et street, bias ply on 17s for the track. I contacted americanmuscle.com and they had no idea. I saw some cheap ones on there. I know there is a nice drag setup out there...

Has anyone experienced what feels like dead space in the rpm band? At wot it feels like I get surges of power and then it diminishes and comes back again. It is not incredibly noticeable but it is enough for me to notice it. Could this possibly be belt slip?

My car is bone stock, I plan on keeping it that way except for a few things. I just ordered a JLT oil separator today and also looking at a air filter and brake pads. In your opinion, what is the best air filter for these cars and brake pad? I was looking at hawk street+strip pads since the car...

I am fighting a battle over here in Germany trying to get my bone stock vehicle to pass inspection. They did a sound test on the car and the exhaust measured 98 db, the limit allowed here is 95db. They told me that because the car is a Shelby I need to remove the Shelby exhaust back on. These...

I have attempted in a couple of cars here...actually in quite a few. Never have acheived it. In this car I WILL attempt it, and I will have video backed by gps to prove it or disprove it. Closest I have gotten so far was 191mph in a h/c/i LS1 powered C5 Corvette.

Picked up the GT500 in Wurzburg today and drove it back home (all autobahn) 200 kms, had a chance to stretch it's legs a little, although I did not go north of 160mph it got there quick as hell, however it did not instill confidence in me as did my M3 and Corvette at high speeds. The car dances...

I have been reading some of the threads on here about lowering springs for the GT500. I am looking to lower mine but maintaining proper rake is extremely important for me since I will be driving at high speeds over here. I had a vette that sat slighty lower in the rear and I could seriously feel...

Just traded my 13' competition package M3 for a 14' GT500. Pick the car up in the next week or so. There are only a handful over here, pretty stoked about it. Is there a way to figure out what the car has on it by the vin#. I bought it used with 1400 miles on it. Guy traded it in for a new BMW...
