  1. Wilwood Brakes - any owners with an opinion?

    Dave, I have the full set on my Raptor which probably is the same size as on the 500 and or the GT 350R l have. Fantastic set of brakes and talk about stopping. Holy crap theyll stop with ease. Very well made and half of what Brembos are. IMHO you cannot go wrong. the Raptor went from an oh...

    So the trans came in Monday and now since the system was full of metal the concern was without the proper flushing machine the lines and the cooler will need to be replaced and none exist. Another month of waiting supposedly. Totally sucks!
  3. Speed Phenoms GT500 has clutch overheating problem on drag strip pass

    Anyone have an opinion on who to contact at a higher level? I’m concerned about two things one of which is getting a used unit that had been repaired with on known miles on it and two that this will lower the value of my car. I’m not sure if the trannies are vin stamped. Remember i only have...

    KB, I’m being told 3 weeks just to get the trans. They have to follow a process with certain testing first then order trans which is 3 weeks away. Just to clarify I had her out the night before with no issues whatsoever. .Pulled her out at 3PM to take a nice ride to put some miles on her...

    KB and those interested. The outcome is trans replacement. This should be interesting. Hopefully there is a second gen with any flaws they have found along the way. Has anyone seen a thread with paint issues? As in cracking paint on hoods where there is loaded up clear coat. If not Ill have...
  7. Speed Phenoms GT500 has clutch overheating problem on drag strip pass

    No hole shots yet. She’s not broke in. Only 400 on her. Now the 350R i have is a different story. That machine loves drifting. Good luck with your new baby Scott. She’s a monster. When you can drive it with all nannies off and swing it around like a toy then and only then would more HP be...

  9. The "how to disable the data link to Ford" thread

    Hey gents I got a Text from my salesman telling me they want me to bring mine in to hook me up to Ford pass. Since I really don’t want it just decline and pull fuse? I’m going low profile now that i cant stop looking at this thing. I’d leave it if it was smaller and thinner. Now it just looks...

    Geese Tom sorry to hear that. A big belated congrats anyway. Hopefully a good paint correction guy will do you right and you can get past the nightmare and enjoy her! Question for you. How did all the aluminum parts hold up? I know you were concerned it being outside so long and it being...

    Went to see her today. My god this car is a masterpiece. Pictures do not do it justice (Iconic Silver). I was pleasantly surprised with all the gaps and body lines being so accurate. Will be taking delivery tomorrow so update to come. Didn’t even hear it run as i wanted to save some of the...
  13. 2020 GT500's Scheduled For Production - Part 2

    Yeah and that’s like paying for the Black roof and full boat on painted stripes that are black. Go figure. Excited to see how this monster rates against the Speciale. Should be interesting. Hey Tom thanks for pushing for me to enjoy. We all feel for you here and want you to get your ride...

  16. 2020 GT500's Scheduled For Production - Part 2

    Thanks Earl!!! Was sweating it out with all the feedback saying it was bad. I know its not over until it hits the dealership but definitely exciting news. Any idea on how long this part of the journey takes on average or is there potential for a rail yard black hole still? Best, Frank

  18. 2020 GT500's Scheduled For Production - Part 2

    Tom, that just totally sucks the big one. Takes all the joy out of it. I’m not gonna give you platitudes as I think you are past that. Understandably you just want your car with no damages and pristine condition.

    Hey Jon, no change, still the same. I tend not to look. Sure we missed the boat with the plan shutdown and Ford doing final inspection I would assume. I’m patient however as its over 13 months plus I made my deal way back when they announced like 3 plus years ago. They thought I was nuts but...
