Ya, I didn't like prior years black accent rims. When I first put these on I liked my PP rims better, but now they are growing on me. Probably because it's just something different. There was more tread left on my old tires than I thought, so I can swap back and forth! LOL
EDIT: It was...
Ugh! Dammit you guys, was going to finalize my order tomorrow! Now you got me wondering if I really wanna do it. My plan is to supercharge my mustang, but I had some motor issues with my car (drivers side head replaced under warranty), Ford gave me a 8yr/60k mile bumper to bumper warranty...
I know, but in Wisconsin summer tires are useless except for July and August. These are 8.5 rims with 255/40/19 same as the stock tires were on the front. I had already replaced the rear PP1 rims with 9" fronts so I could rotate the tires. I was going to run 275s all the way around with 9"...
Incase anybody has the same question, the seller let me test fit the wheels. There were no fitment issues, they bolted right up and clear everything just fine!
Hi Guys,
For those that have owned both, is it worth keeping my Mustang once I get the C8? Or will it just end up sitting there not being driven in favor of the Corvette? If it makes sense to send it down the road I may do so now while the market is hot, IDK. I can always drive the Fiero in...
Hi Guys,
I've got a tentative deal on a set of 2021 take offs, they are black accent wheels and tires. The rims are 19x8.5, I don't recall the offset. The tires are 255/40R19. Can anyone confirm these wheels will bolt right up on my 2016 GT with performance package? I'm supposed to meet up...
HI Guys,
So I recently decided to build a racing sim rig. I've got my PC, wheel & pedals, shifter, etc and I have been using a 50 LED TV. I'm ready to make the jump to VR goggles but am bit overwhelmed by the selection, pricing, and inconsistency of the reviews. Just wondering if any of you...
Well, guess I'm curious and a bit bored. Anyhow, just wondering the maximum accelerometer numbers you guys have recorded with stock wheels, tires, and shocks. Originally I was just curious about the GT PP1 but would be curious on the numbers for all models/configurations! Thanks!
Seriously, that's the only difference? So how is the R in quiet mode? Too loud to cold start at 7am in a residential neighborhood??
Oh, and are the exhaust systems one piece from the cats back like on the GT? Just wondering if the stock exhaust has to be cut to ditch the resonator?
Hey Guys,
I'm casually shopping a bit and looking at GT350s and from the videos the GT350R seems to have a much more bad a$$ exhaust note then the regular GT350. I know that's not proper English/grammar but I didn't know how else to word it. I did a search and didn't get any relevant results...
I also have the extended warranty from Ford with zero dollar deductible until 8 years or 60 thousand miles and is transferable, I would think that is worth something as well. Heck, even if I only get $26k in trade I'll save $1500 in tax on trade and I can cash in the warranty.
To answer your questions....
1. In regards to the GT500, I really only want a manual transmission, otherwise I'd get a new C8.
2. I've thought about putting a Roush supercharger on the car but I don't want to void my warranty just yet. And that still isn't going to give it that "special" car...
Man, I agree but there is just something about the mystique or heritage or whatever the right word is to describe the GT350! I only have about 10 payments left and can drive my current GT carefree with warranty for another 3.5 years!
If I pony up (pun intended) and get a GT350 I would drive it...
Hey Guys,
I'll be honest, I've never even driven a GT350 but it seems everyone that has driven one raves about it, and I want one bad! I realize the first step is to test drive but I live in Wisconsin so that's a ways off before the roads are clean. Also, I'm just wondering how much luck I'll...
Hi Guys, I just wanted to say thanks to all who replied. I found it pretty interesting reading everyone's comments and seeing the pics of firsts and lasts... or should I say, "most recents". Keep the posts and pics coming!
Hi Guys,
I've probably had too many cocktails, but feeling very fortunate! I guess I just wanted to share with other car people that would "get it". This picture is from today, it's the first car I ever bought and the last car I bought, and they are parked next to each other in my garage! I...
