I've been thinking about doing the Brembo upgrade on my 16 GT. How easy is the install? Also is it worth the $1300? Did you notice a big increase in stopping power vs. the stock 14in setup? The Brembos do look much better.
I can't comment on the installation but performance wise, I had a 2016 base GT that I just traded in for a 2017 GT premium with PP. only 100 miles on her so far and I am noticing the Brembos are grabbing even better than the base GT. Seems to be getting even better the more they get broken in.

First time tracking it on Friday. It totally outperformed me in every way. I need to build up some more confidence in the Brembo's.


Looks like fun! Hug that apex a little more, aim for the cone:
1. IF you're pushing hard and are aiming for the curb you might drift out a little and then you're perfect.
2. IF you are a little too close you can ease off very easily. (corrections out are easy, trying to get tighter is hard)
3. Worst case, you go over the inner corner a little, it doesn't matter very much as all of the weight is on the outer tires, and no longer a solid axle to unsettle the whole rear end.

Installed Steeda Jacking Rails. Took about 30 minutes and I was taking my time. Just got on the floor and did the deed.


Also placed my order for Snow Tires. Gonna have everything ready just in case although it didn't snow last year and I'd be good with that.

Wow, 12.49 stock?! Is it auto, what gear ratio, wheels/tires etc.? I'm curious what my car would run, it's stock other than an axle-back and X pipe. I need to hit the track soon.
Auto, 3.55, stock california special wheels and tires.

Removed all the main dash trim (the 4 sections that are grey, with a fake brushed look that runs all the way from headlight switch to glove box) to hand off to be professionally painted and clear coated. Should have back in about a week...will post pics.

In the meantime I will say, the clips didn't break and aside from needing to remove one 7mm bolt it all came off easily by hand.

*EDIT: It's actually real aluminum wrapped thinly over plastic on the dash! I thought it was plastic.

I took my MBRP race exhaust off and put the stock one back on, going to be going to a custom setup as there was just too much drone on the highway.

GT350R Steering wheel and knob; Ford performance stainless steel plate cover (no more free dealer advertising once the plates come in). Also added some OEM Ford ubber floor mats to replace the cloth ones; probably gonna do the same with the trunk at some point.

Installed new set of wheels.

I wasn't sure if I was doing the right move but after I got it done I could not be more happy. Any thoughts?

All i can see is Ricardo Montablan talking about the Corinthian Leather in the NEW Chrysler Cordoba;

Needless to say the leather was not from cows on the island of Corinthia then either :lol:

You might consider applying flocking tape on all the clips before replacing the panels. You wouldn't think that rattles would come from the clips themselves, but they do.

Sold the vert today. Pretty sad day to see it go after all of the work behind getting it to the point where it's at now, but I'm excited as hell to turn all of my attention to my 3-4 week old '17 GT350. It's been a wonderful year owning the vert and especially all the love from the forums and social media.
Congratulations from me, too, Alton.

But I predict that one year from now you will look back and conclude that you got more enjoyment overall from your GT than 1 year with your GT350.

Just sayin'.

Congrats on the Shelby Alton!!! If your time with the vert is any indication, the Shelby is in good hands. Enjoy!!!!
