I cannot echo this enough...it is such a fun car. There is something special about how the car is balanced and feels with combo of engine power, the transmission and the suspension setup, along with the unique engine note and superb sound system. And I don't have the HP pack (yet)...so I can...
They are great for the track and as with most track purpose tire, have a really short lifespan. If you never track it and are pretty easy on the car, it's not impossible to get 15,000+ miles out of them, but under 10,000 is more likley and then there is the horrible wet performance that...
Funny, after we picked up the GT500 and drove it home on the Cup 2 tires 30 miles, I noticed the tires and immediately was like "alright those a**holes at the dealership did something with it" but then realized it's just the nature of the tire's looks and poor life span.
OP, your car is...
I sure did, just ordered it this morning! Sounds like it should be at my front door sometime next week. I also ordered the front fender rock guard/liners/moldings. I'm still on the fence about the bird nest wheels - I've got a set of dedicated track 19x11 Momo Rf-20's on order but may get the...
Update: Photos of the painted and installed spoiler have been posted further in this thread
I thought this might be helpful confirming information for anyone thinking of replacing their base Mach 1 spoiler with the HP/GT500 spoiler.
My OEM GT500 spoiler and Gurney Flap arrived over the weekend...
Apologies for the delay - I've been out of town for the past week.
The car does corner really flat; however, your assumption is correct concerning the front tires rolling a bit. Here are a few photos of the front driver side tire right after the event:
I was running the tires at about 30...
We got the Mach 1 and 2016 GT (with a fresh, 500 mile old clutch) out to the track again this weekend at MSR Houston. This time I was armed with a GoPro Camera that lasted more than 2 minutes and captured more than just a cool down lap! The car is in track mode for this session. I apologize in...
Congrats! It is a hell of a car - I've been impressed above and beyond my expectations.
I am so envious of that black and red - that's what I have on the 2011 GT, but I just don't have it in me to keep up with the cleaning of two black cars! lol
Boy do I have a lot to learn on this aspect. Fortunately I am good with computers but have never had any interest in applying that to cars. Looks like I've got no choice!
I did a quick search and it seems like in some instances, especially with the ABS module addresses you listed, that some of...
Do you happen to know if this would result in a different part number for the VDM and ABS module? Or would it be the same part number, but a matter of recalibrating them to HP specs (if thats possible?)? This is one of my weak areas of knowledge with these cars that I'd like to learn a bit more...
It does not appear that the base Mach 1 has dual fuel pumps. I pulled back the carpet to look for the dual fuel modules that are present in the GT500 and there is nothing there, exactly like the 2016 GT. I suppose its possible they could have been moved, but I doubt it. Let me know if there is...
Cant we all just be friends? 🙃
Here's a somewhat off topic distraction - look at the savage remains of what used to be the clutch in the 16 GT we had out there as well. It appears the clutch cylinder exploded.
Something never felt quite right with the clutch in that car ever since we got it...
