Just wanted to say Hi.. I just got a 2008 Shelby GT500 (black) Came with the C&L CAi and Bassani mufflers. I have only had the car 2 days but Im loving every minute of it. I do have some questions and I hope to get some answers or advise.
1 I have terrible wheel hop now I know Im going to have to change some of the rear suspension. First thing I wanted to do was lower the rear end. I had an 05 GT that I had the Roush rear springs installed. Can I have a set of those installed on the Cobra? Any negatives to doing so and if I change the rear springs is there anything else I need to change?
2. The stock tires are ok but I really want more traction. I used to have the KW2 on the 05 mustang. Is that a good tire to have. I know DR's are probably my best bet but I dont want something that is gonna make me think twice about driving if it rains.
3. The cobra came with the shaker 500 with Navi. Can I play a movie DVD on that? Unfortunatly the car didnt come with the owners manual.
4. My plans are to eventually get a tune and smaller pulley (looking at the Evo packages) should I get the rear suspension done first? I cant imagine how much worse the wheel spin will get with more horsepower. Im getting wheel hop in 1st, 2nd and even 3rd sometimes. I apologize for the long thread. I do hope to get alot of useful info here. This forum seems to be exactly what I am looking for.
Thanks in advance!!
PS Did I say how much I love my new cobra!!!!
