Another year has passed and I’m still in love with one of the Best looking, 6 speed transmission, 202 mph, Straight rear axle, 662 hp and the raw muscle car feel. That is all “13”-“14” model years…

It was nice yesterday - sunny, getting close to 50 degrees. Salt dust almost non-existent. So I got her out, drove her a bit, brought her back into the garage and detailed away. Great therapy! First Caffeine and Chrome of the year next Saturday.... IF the weather cooperates. I always smile when I drive out GT500.

I was initially disappointed with the 14 when it was delivered, hp & gears.
Within 9 months, everything I considered a shortcoming was addressed, & then some.
My 11 is long gone, & the 14 isn't going anywhere !!

Beautiful car. I love the stance on it! What lowering springs do you have on it?

I definitely related. I only made it probably 2-3miles from the dealer when I decided it needed gears and DRs. Kept it stock for 600miles then….

What shocked me, were the disaster of the tires.
I got quite a scare trying feel out the cars performance. Bolt on's and tires fixed it up.
Thanks to Van's.

Agreed but those were 110% used for magazine/journalist likes. The stock tires when warm on a warm track will handle pretty well. Now on a 60deg morning going WOT on the on ramp will try and kill you. True story.

When I traded in my GT for my GT500 the dealership had replaced the tires and the rears were pirelli all seasons. What a joke for a 600 whp car, lol. Luckily I had a set of 305/40R18 555RII's to swap them out with. Pics were after I got her ceramic coated. Can't wait for spring.

Even stock the 13/14 GT500s are amazing, I'll never forget trading in my 08 GT500 on 13 GT500 back in 2013 and driving it home absolutely blown away how fast that car was lol. Good times.

My purchase trip home it was 63* out. Car cabin was hot and warm with glass roof screen open and no heater on. 134 miles of interstate 2 and 3 lane travel

Coming off an "11 with a VMP Gen2R and 3:73's, the 13 had many short comings. But the hood and wheels made up for it temporarily and the rest has been addressed.

A once in a lifetime experience that unfortunately, not all get to write about.

Making me want to pick one up...
RK Motors right up the road from you has 2014 Race Red Stripe Delete with Recaros and the all important Glass Roof. 1700 miles for $72,900.

Fits the bill.
