I agree 28 lbs is kinda hefty for a forged 19" wheel. But $1500 for the set is a good price.
I would get a set for my 2017 GT, but the engraved "SHELBY" ruins it for me. That is like slapping a "turbo" badge on a car that is obviously not a turbo :tsk:
I have a 2017 GT Premium automatic. I wanted the bigger brakes of the PP, but I am lazy and don't feel like rowing gears in Houston traffic. So I am thinking about upgrading the brakes. The stock rear rotors are already laughably small compared to the front, and the difference will be...
The larger radiator is definitely doing its job. Your data makes me lean towards pulling the trigger on it.
Ideally, I would measure temps before & after installation. But I don't have the time nor resources to install it myself, so all of the work will be done at a speed shop, where time is...
My daily driver is a 2017 GT Premium, automatic. I have a Whipple Stage 2 coming in a couple of weeks. I am thinking about getting a Mishimoto oversized radiator. I live near Houston and the summer heat is insane, especially in stop & go traffic. Would an oversized radiator be worth the trouble...
I have the same dilemma. Scouring the forums reveals two main options: Steeda's "Stop The Hop" kit, or BMR's CB005 kit. My 2017 GT Premium will (probably) never see the track, but I want to tighten up the rear end. Decisions, decisions...
At $48190, they will be keeping it for a while...until they find a desperate buyer wanting never-titled, 2-year old Mustang.
You can get a 2018 GT Premium with extras for that much. And for another $12k, you can get a new GT350.
I ordered a Whipple Stage 2 kit with the oversized heat exchanger. I am also considering a Mishimoto performance radiator, which is almost twice the thickness of the stock radiator. Does anyone else have the same setup? Any clearance issues?
Great write-up. I agree with everything you said about Corsa. It definitely has a greater "dynamic range" than many other setups. Corsa at WOT is a symphony of engine sounds -- the cam, the valves, the pistons -- all working together as designed. Most of the competitions' offerings only amplify...
Unless you live in the middle of nowhere, any vehicle driven on public roads will get chips from debris. The only way to guarantee no paint chips is to not drive it. I always have a clear bra installed on new vehicles. It isn't cheap, but it goes a long way to preventing paint chips. If you are...
