Interestingly, the only shop around who offered to work on the CF wheels, said I should get Apex, I have no experience with them...are they robust enough for track use?
Yes, Forgeline is a name I've heard of many times. Good stuff. Let me ask you this, on my past track car, a ZL1 1LE, I had the OEM set plus I had a OEM set of Z/28 wheels from my past 5th Gen. They worked like a champ. Are the non-CFTP GT500 wheels from Ford a decent option or is Forgeline a...
Yeah, I'm sure I'll find a shop who will work on these wheels. However I will still want a second set of wheels and tires. Any ideas on good one's to use for tracking the GT500?
Hello,
While I LOVE my CFTP wheels, I can't really find anyone who will touch them! My Ford Dealer and my local shop refuse to change tires for me for fear of damaging the wheels. And, with my last car, I was going through at least 3 sets of tires a summer (all track) so I think I'd like to add...
Actually, it does. The link you send confirms -
Engine Oil - ZL1 1LE only (Mobil 1 15-W-50)
It's a minor thing but it is different and that's why I asked if the GT500 was similar. Just figured I'd ask the experts.
Thank you, which Amsoil? Got a part number by any chance? Or a name and weight?
I'm likely overthinking this but I'll add a note and just do the same thing every time.
Hey Folks,
Been a lurker for a while but just became an owner of a 2022 GT500 CFTP! Anyway on my old car (a ZL1 1LE) the MFG recommended using a specific oil when tracking the car and a different viscosity oil for normal use. As I pretty much only tracked the car, I kept the track oil in all...
SAAC 44 is the 44th annual convention of the Shelby American Automobile Club. It was held over the past few days at the Pitt Race facility in PA. Amazing convention. Ford Performance as well as Shelby American were there in force. Sadly I didn't take too many photos of the GT500.
Love this build. Did you track it stock to get a baseline feel? I'm curious how the modified version compares to stock, and how it compares to a stock R...
I called a number of Ford dealers today and while most either had no clue or were asking $5K over, I found an MSRP deal - is that a good deal or do you think I should continue looking for one under MSRP?
And, I'm a member of a club which gets "X-Plan" pricing, does anyone know if Ford offers...
Interesting thought. True story, a few months ago my sales person emailed me asking if I knew anyone who wanted a GT350, at a ridiculous $12K over. I thought it odd, considering my $10K over on an R and the fact that, it seemed like ADM on the non-R had calmed down considerably. I figured this...
If Ford authorizes dealers like this, what does that say about Ford? Honestly I'm not sure who to blame. But you can see how the experience would cast a shadow on the brand at least, right?
Hello Everyone,
I'll be honest, like most people here, I do a lot more reading than posting. I've been into the performance car scene for 4 years now and during that time I've done a lot of reading and learning at the SRT forum, Camaro forum, and now here. What I've learned most is that for...
