Even on my cold day, I saw 1.33 lateral g’s!

Everyone says it’s an awesome track! I’ve heard there are walls though, which I wouldn’t want to smack. Eagles Canyon has nothing but dirt if you depart the track.

I never took tire temps. I only knew the outside temp, which started at 35 and hit 53 at the end of our last session. For tire pressures, I started with them all at 30 (versus owner’s manual 28 for track) and they got to 37 for the front right and 35-36 for the rest. Most of the hard turns were...

Thank you sir! Yes, the two trips to the Track Attack and one to the Track Tour were my only experiences on a track prior to this outing... I had never taken one of my cars to the track. I am HOOKED! It’s time now for a 4-pt and a harness. I’ll be doing more of this... it’s too damn much fun!

In this video, I take my 2020 Shelby GT500 Carbon Fiber Track Pack to the track (road course) for the first time. I booked this day awhile back. It turned out to be quite cold that day! I went ahead and did it... figuring what is the WORST that can happen with 760hp on summer track tires on a...

The owner of the shop did say they end up fixing other shops’ errors. He said they have their machine checked periodically to make sure it is all good, but not all shops do this. If it isn’t setup properly or checked periodically, your alignment can be off.

I was talking with the owner afterwards. He said they get their machine checked periodically. He said they often have to fix screwed-up alignments done on other shop’s machines that are out of whack. To be honest, I was a bit concerned watching the prying and hammering. I’m sure they are used...

He hammered on the strut tops inward while watching the setting on the screen. When they got to the desired angle, he stopped and then tightened down the three nuts on the topside. He did say that they normally work with aftermarket adjustable strut mounts that move/slide much easier.

In this video, I start and end with a fun little highway pull and I take you along to see a track alignment performed on my 2020 Shelby GT500 Carbon Fiber Track Pack!

Appreciate all the good info guys! I definitely need to do a strap. I’ve had quite a few comment on YouTube: why didn’t you PPF the whole car...? The place I used for PPF was the most expensive place I have found. They also do the best work with custom hand-cut work with zero edges shown. I...

Where did you get the strap?

Thanks Mark! I will look into these mods.

You were probably hearing the piano bar in my garage loft. There is a grand piano up there that I hire musicians to play while I'm working on the cars. I believe he was playing a song called: "Fall Of The Dynasty," which in no way was a subliminal message about Ford's paint and panel fit...

In this short video, I show a trunk lid fitment issue with my 2020 Shelby GT500 CFTP resulting in paint getting removed. I show the problem and show the fix. This issue most likely affects all 2020+ GT500s: base and CFTP!

A buddy of mine that is a frequent “tracker” recommended a shop to me. I have an appointment with them next week. They are called Texas Track Works and said they would do a track alignment for $150. Apparently these guys are good and do track alignments all the time... we shall see.

Thanks Tom! 🍻 I’ve never done an alignment, so I am concerned I’d screw it up. I’m going to try a shop and see how it goes. If they suck, I might be hollering for the “string theory.”

I mention you in the video. As for the track alignment, I think I’m going to pay to have it done correctly.

In this video, I get my 2020 Shelby GT500 Carbon Fiber Track Pack up on my lift and do a little front suspension disassembly to remove the factory pin screws in the adjustable camber plates to allow a track alignment. I show the step-by-step process to remove the screws in preparation for a...

Most will favor and choose what they have and what they know. It would be an interesting experiment to give some of the GT350 defenders here in this thread some seat time in a new GT500 and afterwards offer them a straight-up trade. I’m thinking there would be a few takers on the deal. The 350...

The 2020+ Shelby GT500 is the most epic Mustang ever! It also comes with the most epic price ever. Some will reach financially to acquire one and then decide the huge car payment stings a bit, especially while the car is parked for the winter.
