Folks,
A good friend has recently purchased a GT500 CFTP and is an avid track guy and instructor.
Hey, @16Kobra, let's see some of those pics and tell us of your plans on how you are going to use your newly found gem.
Congrats!
I have been after the Shelby Signature edition dry carbon fiber hood for a long time now. I have tried to use influence from people I know with no results.
For some reason, Shelby American, decided to release the hood and is now for sale. Anyone who wants to drop some weight off 'ol chubsy...
Today,
I received an acceptance to become a GTD recipient. It was quite the process and I'm glad to see it come to fruition.
Please join me in my journey from ordering to delivery, and of course, track use at the Daytona International Speedway.
Last I read, GTD allocations should be announced by August 31st. The 31st is a Saturday, so I figure by this Friday, the 30th. That's only 5 days from now.
Anyone who has their name in the hat, I wish them luck.
I have been in Japan for a few weeks now. I'm surprised to not have seen any Mustangs, let alone Ford products anywhere. I read Ford pulled out somewhere around 2016.
So walking along the streets of Hiroshima, I came upon a black GT.
So I'm flying along from Tokyo to Kyoko on the world famous Shinkansen. I happened to pull up my GPS app and took a screenshot of the fastest the bullet train went.
So, which would you say is faster? The fastest speed I saw on my trip to Kyoko? OR the fastest that I got my GT500 CFTP at the...
I picked up a used and lightly worn OEM GT500 CFTP wing recently. It suffered from surface scratches that were quite easily repaired.
Anyone who has seen my CF wheel repair thread can put 2+2 together and visualize the repair process.
It came out quite well. All scratches were filled and...
So,
I have recently replaced my AC condenser because it was getting a little ragged with fins bent and overall road debris damage. I figured I'd replace it before it becomes a problem down the road.
So when I was removing the condenser, I noticed that one of the clips was broken. A closer...
So I picked up 2 wheels from a Ford dealership in AR for $700 each complete with tires, TPMS, and center caps. The rear wheel was near perfect, except that it had a 305 mounted on it. The front wheel is in excellent condition with the exception of the ceramic coating on the barrel. Today I...
I have it on good information that @16Kobra is now an instructor with the Audi club teaching the Rolex 24 course.
I've driven with Jim a lot at this track and this promotion is way overdue.
Please take a moment and congratulate him in this moment. It was a significant promotion and worthy...
So I'm out at the Daytona Speedway having fun on the track with my good friend Jim @16Kobra obra
I go over the car as usual. Verify all the major systems are track worthy. The tires were serviceable with plenty of life left on them.
I'm well into the first session and I felt an unusual...
Some may recall a while back that I had issue with my 2020 GT500CFTP the first time I had it out at the Daytona International Speedway. I run the car fast. I am in group 1 which is for pros/racers.
So, I ran the car hard enough that the passenger's side inner CV on the half shaft had...
