There have been two things I have always done with all of my performance cars which have always made sense to me. Before the Shelby, I had many Corvettes including C4 ZR-1, C6 ZR1, C5 Z06, 2 C6 Z06s. Many of them were modified by folks like Lingenfelter, Katech... The two things are: When...

In the midst of continued angst re Voodoo failures and questionable lithium battery life, a reminder that today is Memorial Day. More than just another holiday weekend to sell cars... I called some of my Viet Nam buddies today and also want to thank those of you who served in more recent...

Oil Usage Question. Did my first oil change at dealership with 1100 miles on the odo. Everything looked good, Blackstone analysis was very good. Picked up the car new with 37 miles on it and needed to add a quart before first oil change even though I did a slow, stepwise break-in for the...

April issue of C&D has latest update of their long term GT350. Good news is they still love the performance and handling after 23,200 miles. Bad news - they say they are getting tired of having to fill-up and check the oil every 250 miles. They say the car has used 5 quarts of oil in the last...

Right now, I am leaning against considering a header install on my '17 GT350, but I would like feedback from members who have already done this. In retrospect, are you glad you did this mod? If not, why not? If yes, what were your verifiable power gains? I am particularly interested in those...

Overall, it was a good experience, weather held up just barely long enough to finish Sunday afternoon. Parked in the Mustang Corral - very few takers for that program, but did have its benefits. Got to chat a lot with some Ford Program people and take a close up and personal look at the first...

We will be at the Daytona Weekend Race starting next Friday, driving there in our Shelby.. Bring your Shelby and enjoy one of the better endurance races in the world. Hit me up if you are planning to attend. We have infield and pit passes....

Some time in the near future, I want to put my '17 up on the rollers to do a few dyno runs. So here are my questions: 1. What gear should the run be done in - 4th or 5th? 2. What mode should the run be in - Sport, Track or ? Thanks in advance for your responses! :thumbsup:

Ever since I found out about the 31 lb boat anchor wheels on my '17, I have been considering moving to a true forged wheel set-up (saving approximately 9 lbs of unsprung rotating mass per wheel and upgrading to the newer, improved Michelin PS4s. I have zero desire to run the Sport Cup 2's on a...

Well, today, I crossed over 825 miles. For the last 100 miles or so, I have been doing a few WOTs, few shifts at or near redline on my jaunts, otherwise "normal" driving always in "Sport" mode. One thing I never mentioned previously is that when I bought the car new, it had 37 miles on it and...

A few years ago, I went to a Daytona 24 hours event and loved it. Having pit passes really enhanced the experience. Now that I am only about a 2 hour drive from Daytona, it is definitely on my late January calendar. This would be a great opportunity for some Shelby owners to meet, compare...

Since this is my first thread on this Forum, I thought a few words of intro are in order. I am on another Shelby only Forum, but as I quickly learned, this car, due to its short production run and relatively low production numbers, certainly generates a small percentage of forum activity. At...
