At the end of the day, its your money, your car, and frankly your adventure (or misadventure!) to go down. I'm here to see what happens and how it all turns out for you. At minimum we can all see what works/doesn't work. Good luck OP! I hope it turns out to be everything you wish it will be!
If I'm not mistaken the first run was in sub-optimal conditions, so they may be able to squeeze some more juice out of the GTD. For that kind of money though...they better!
Still a really cool achievement for Ford. Glad to see they still have some motivation to try and compete in that arena.
Not to hijack this thread, but I find that very interesting. Where did you get the program to re-program the VDM and ABS? Did you have any issue with the car throwing codes after you did it?
I know this is an old thread, but did you have to utilize the liability portion of the policy? Hope you were able to get the car fixed and were injury-free.

Yes, going to a square setup is also the reason why I changed out the fronts. I did not replace the brake caliper studs; I read some commentary here that it wasn't truly necessary. I did clean off the old loctite as best as I could on both the bolts and the caliper and brake surfaces, cleaned...
It took me probably 2-3 hours, including a run to the store for a tool or two. I work slow and was taking my time (and triple checking the instructions), so if you're more handy or faster than me, I'm sure you can get it done faster. I only changed the front studs.
Full disclosure, I don't have...
