  1. Maybe I'm in the minority opinion; I don't think the Base GT500 is a "great" track car

    Pretty much what the title says. And here why I say this and am interested in others opinions. Background - I used to track the ever loving snot out of my C7 Z06 M7. The only mod beyond stock parts was a set of racing rotors and track pads for front and rear. I wouldn't say I was an amazing...
  2. New York 2022 GT500 For Sale (Black)

    This is not my car - it's a buddy of mines and I'm listing it for him (so don't yell at me). Happy to put you in touch with him if you are interested, just send me a message and I'll send you his cell. Car has 579 miles. He's having a baby and being responsible - so the car is going. Window...
  3. #UCK ME - ouch

    Driver side rear quarter right at the end of the body line that flows through the door... Rock off a semi going the opposite direction... So excited to get to know the collision guy with this car...
  4. How many miles you got?

    I’ll start: 2021 GT500 delivered in April 2021 (snow and salt gone and able to drive in May) 2980 miles
  5. Why are the rain tray screws so long?

    Out yesterday sitting in a restaurant. I see it’s started to rain. Pulled up radar app and damn - rain that wasn’t supposed to be here for hours is here and it’s gonna be a soaker… Run out to the car to install the rain tray…. Ended up pondering “Why are those threads so long?” as I ate cold...
  6. Caliperfexion socket (9/16" 12 point star drive!?)

    I have a pretty solid collection of tools... but where the #3ll do you find this unicorn? I have a bunch of eTorx - they are not 12 point... I have spline drive - which will work but will probably grove up the nut... Weird AF choice of a nut IMHO... so - where does one find the correct socket...
  7. Track Attack (7/16/2021) vs Ron Fellows (Corvette Owners School)(3/2019)

    Completed Track Attack last week and had a blast and felt like the experience, although well documented here and other places by previous attendees, needed a right comparison between another "you spent a lot on a car here's a driving experience class" write up. Since I did Ron Fellows @ Spring...
  8. My GT500 tried to kill me - software defect!

    No - not the traction control... Not Launch control. No - there's not a defect in the DCT that made a shift go crazy wrong... But the car DID try to kill me and my wife... and it's a legit bug Ford should really solve - all it takes is one line of code and it's universal - as a buddy in his...
  9. Track Attack Question from my plus one about the "guest" experience

    Off to Track Attack in a week-ish (July 15-16) and my wife is asking me all sorts of questions about expectations... and all I have for the event so far is an email with a redicilious COVID form and confirmation of my track day insurance... But I'm not here to ask about what the driver should...
  10. 1000 Mile Review

    In keeping with my other reviews of this car - it's time for the 1000 mile review (even tho I'm at 1100 and climbing). I discovered the other day the car has a radio... I then shut it off to listen to the exhaust. Which - the toggle for exhaust modes really is nice - the ability to go into the...
  11. How do you clean inside the lower grill?

    Sounds like many of my other stupid questions or a really good idea for a 25 minute YouTube video with 18 ads running in it... but I have amassed a rather impressive menagerie of various desiccated insects and tree parts that have collected in there - in both that horizontal radiator and even...
  12. Steeda Jacking Rails Installation Notes

    For $120 I figured having jacking rails was probably worth it for when at the track. On the 2021 Handling Pack car - Ford actually did a pretty nice job cutting out the underside of the plastic side skirts where the jack points are anyhow - so TBH - these are probably not needed if you are...
  13. Thoughts on the front camera mod (NAViKS)

    There's a great 1st mod thread I'd recommend anyone read - lots of small but great ideas people have done to their cars (and I have a list of them I'll be doing too!). One of them is the "front camera" addition, something this car should have to keep the splitter off the cub and something my C7...
  14. First Impression of first WOT hit on GT500

    Continuing on in my series of firsts and first impressions with this car... a new friend on the forum whom we bonded over delivery delays is @GRStang ... and he told me LAST week he got his first WOT pull in - so I need to get out there this weekend and see what all the hubbub was all about...
  15. Tank 1 of 1

    Somewhere shortly after - range till empty was 230 and odometer was 230… it’s the simple things you only see one time that you need to enjoy.
  16. Does anyone have the “cobra” as a digital file?

    I have a custom project I’m working on and need the cobra on our cars - as a digital file…. Anyone have that or seen anywhere it can be acquired?
  17. New 2021 GT500 Second Drive Impressions

    (This post is the logical "chapter deux" from the "initial impressions" post here...) After taking delivery back on the 19th of April - and then enduring 2 days of snow and LOTS of salt on the roads... we got FINALLY got rain to clear the roads... and Saturday was the PERFECT day to actually...
  18. Does my PPF look right?

    Looks real nice... (it’s just Track Armor until PPF time, relax)
  19. Rear Deck lid Snake

    Quickie here - when the car goes for PPF in a few weeks my guy says he pulls all the badges off, does the paint correction, the PPF, the ceramic and then puts all the badges back on... normal stuff... I'm doing the "track wrap" - full front, side rockers and area behind the rear wheels. I also...
