I am the original owner. I pretty much only drive this car in good weather and it is kept in a garage with the OE Shelby car cover. All maintenance was done at the dealer and is documented in the manual. New tires at ~16k miles. New front pads in the last 1k miles (I have a set of rear pads...

Splitters do create downforce. There is a high pressure region over the splitter that pushes down on it. It also has the benefit you mention for underbody flow.

Oil life calculations are usually a combination of time since reset, run time / idle time, and total fuel burned since last change. Total fuel burned usually one of the key metrics for durability and oil life testing in development.

Proof load of an 8.8 class M8x1.0 bolt is 22700N. That comes out to about 5100Lbs. One bolt could lift the car off the ground with a healthy margin. 2-4 is more than enough for pulling onto a trailer. I do agree with your concern of the crash beam it is attached to when some random guy yanks...

Ballpark how much is the gold package of ceramic pro running people?

Has anyone picked up the premium maintenance plan? The brochure lists brake pads and linings. I cannot tell if that means they will only inspect, or if replacement is also covered. Also, what is the oil change interval for the GT350?

Can you say what dealer you settled on? I have a GT350 on order and would like to avoid the same legwork if possible.

For people that have the LB, how is the color match between the front bumper cover and the hood? I love the color, but some of the pictures I have seen (including the Ford reveal pics in the second post of this thread) show a pretty visible difference in the color.

I stored my Mazda without running it for a year (to the day.) Full tank with Sta-bil and it started right up and ran through that tank of gas with no issue. DI engine.

That lip is just the crimp to hold on the chrome cap.

I tried the G2 stuff on my Mazda. It turned black and boiled off in one track day. Those were single piston calipers with 70/30 weight distribution though, so maybe the GT-350 calipers don't get so hot?

Does anyone have pictures of this color with the blue strip for MY17. It looks like the color has changed in the sales guide.

I have tracked 2 cars 2010+ with OEM lines and then swapped to SS lines. Both times I could not tell the difference in pedal feel after the swap. I think most of the time you hear someone noticing a better feel with the SS lines, they are swapping out OEM lines with age on them.

My 2013 Mazda Speed 3 does this under heavy braking at the track. 70-30 weight distribution with upgraded tires and brakes means there is almost no load on the rear wheels. The car usually wanders about a foot to one side or the other through a braking zone. The steering doesn't pull, so it...
