  1. Mistake to trade up?

    The 5.2L Predator engine is dead on reliable. A Mach 1 with a whipple will not have the same level of cooling that the GT500 has. I drive my GT500 in summer weather on track for 20-30 minutes at a time (basically until I run of out of gas) with little/no issues in terms of heat soak (after...
  2. Lug Nuts

    I'm not launching hate at any product. I just put out my experience, so, I know the motorsport ones are reliable, easy to use, and are easily replaceable in small quantities. Saying one product is reliable doesn't mean everything else isn't. Form doesn't matter to me at all, function is what I...
  3. Mistake to trade up?

    I would like to have both. Just so I could have an NA Tremec Coyote. To me, the Mach 1 is a more reliable (and easier to fix engine wise) GT350. But generally agree that the GT-based Shelby cars are meh.
  4. Recaro Seat and Road Courses

    I want to go this route, but the $500 freight shipping fee to a personal residence is holding me back until I am down in Texas again to pick one up in person. Yeah yeah, I know, but I don't have a commercial facility I can use to help reduce shipping costs either. I like the way it mounts with...
  5. Lug Nuts

    Understand if you are going for a "look." I personally don't care, I just need them to hold. With my combo of extended lugs and these open lug nuts, I have good results from using impacts or just simply running the recommended TQ settings vice the 150 requirement from Ford's products. I'm sure...
  6. Lug Nuts

    https://www.opmustang.com/store/p315/14mmHighStrengthRacingLugNuts.html#/ These are a go-to for me. They buy them in bulk, but they are the real deal. Nothing fancy, they just work. Ford Performance makes some too, so it's just personal preference.
  7. Alignment recommendation HPDE

    Vorshlag Camber Plate + Camber Bolt guy here. I am at -3.25* up front with more room to play. Did that to avoid having to cut the strut tower holes.
  8. Talk to me about Time Trials

    Can't speak for your region, but I ran local Time Trial events in West Texas and NM for a couple years. It was the only real option has HPDE wasn't as desired in the area. 2 years later, I was hooked as the competition side unlocks a new level of driving for me. I'll be participating here in...
  9. Camber plates, Wheels, Tires, HPDE

    Outside wear on those tires look like your car can take a more aggressive alignment up front.
  10. Recaro Seat and Road Courses

    Another Schroth 4 point with Recaros guy in a GT500. I have no issues, run a HANS device that is approved for the belts I have. I'd love to get a half-cage installed, but the crate shipping fees for the specific one I want are killer. Either way, I've never had to fight my current setup. If I...
  11. Lug Nuts

    Bingo. Long run they are cheaper too. Plus, you can just spray paint them if the looks are truly bothering you. But, I am a function over form owner. Just need it to work.
  12. Bye-Bye Battery(?): "See Manual", "Drive Mode Selection Not Available"

    5 years on my last battery, hooked up all winter to a tender. Unfortunately, still dead.
  13. Bought Mach 1 with HP but not an HP?

    I am not sure if this happened with the Mach 1, but on 2020 GT500 base models the handling package was cheaper and did not include the front camber plates. I am one of those who have the neutered Ford handling pack on a 2020. COVID prioritized the CFTP cars with the camber plates. Regardless...
  14. Convince me that I’m not making a mistake

    2020 GT500 owner, no issues with mine and it almost exclusively gets driven on road courses. Up until the GTD is on the streets, the S550 GT500 will remain as the best domestic pony track car ever made. After that, the 6th Gen Camaro ZL1 1LE.
  15. Lug Nuts

    I'm surprise more people don't use a motorsport-derived open back, single piece lug nut. I run a squared 305 setup on my S550, so I needed extended lug nuts and a small 5mm spacer. Open backs won't swell and work on every lug nut combo. You just need a deep socket on hand.
