Downloaded the new Limp Bizkit album today. Sounds more mean and Obnoxious then a muffler delete.

Put the winter shoes on it. Had snow over the weekend and temperatures in the 30's so time to take the summer wheels and tires off.

I can't find side shot pictures of the summer wheels and tires on it, except for one shot at the track

Congrats Matt. Now tell us, was it worth the wait? :giggle: :rockon::clap:
Definitely. I haven't gotten to drive it much yet but the Tremec shifter is so amazing. Love that transmission.

One more.. door protectors from the big "A" (Garage Wall Protector). It's solid, thick foam and sticks to the wall like "you will never get it off again". Plus last WE my GF opened the passenger door of my former Stang while on the phone, and bang, into the wall the door went.. I was like "huh" ? She didn't even care or notice. Hence the protectors, first thing I ordered that day. 😅

Did you buy these online ? Can you provide a link please?
My garage is not the biggest for 2 cars and I currently have a bunch of double sided tape stuck to the sidewall to protect my door. This solution looks a lot better.

Edit: I just found them on the big A. I wish you just said Amazon for us overseas guys haha

If you want speed you buy a liter bike or an actual fast car lol
Exactly. We don't drag race but my wife's last bike in the 80s could turn 9s.

An S550 eco is quicker than the mid 60s Vette's, muscle cars, etc. A lot of that is tires, but your brain's g-meter doesn't care why something is quick. I don't consider drag racers of those days of being lame for taking a car slower than a future eco to the track.

And why not? :facepalm: :curse:
Exactly right. The EcoBoost is surprisingly quick. I don't have to go 10 seconds on the drag strip, 12's is plenty quick enough.
And on the road course I had no problem hanging with the GT and my friend's GT350 in the turns. Was quicker than my friend's GT coming out of the turn onto the straight - he had to give me a point by every session.

Comments like that make as much sense as saying, "You take a GT to the track? Should have a GT500 to do that"

I had a 2017 Ecoboost before I got the 2021 GT, and sometimes it makes me wonder why I did that. The Eco was paid off and fast as sh*t. Zipping through traffic was a blast. True, the GT is something different, starting with the sound.. and it smells new.. 🤪 :inlove:

I'm not here to hate on Ecoboosts, but just be that annoying correction guy. the GT is the 12 second car. An Ecoboost is like 13 or 14s unless you've got some heavy hitting mods and a tune.

Also, if your friends are giving you a point by with an objectively faster car, you're just driving better than them. Which is honestly a better compliment, lol.

For sure. All about the skill on some tracks, for example I kept up with a guy with a GT500 at Nelson Ledges as it's a tight track that doesn't give you much for max speed or to take advantage of the power difference to my Bullitt.
And then there was a convertible Z3 (I'm guessing modded) that was kicking both our a*s. Def had more skill than us, despite likely less power.
