2020 GT500 Handling Package

[Myshelby3425]

It's kinda weird everything else came with the car but the camber plates did not. Makes you think maybe it doesnt come with camber plates.

Camber plates aren’t part of the handling pack on the base model. Those are included in the Carbon Track pack only according to all the order guides and brochure.

The handling package comes with everything but the handling part.

Seems to be the case, letdown after that slide made the rounds from the Vegas event, but nice bonus that the catch can is included when it wasn't in the order guide.

I already have my lightweight wheels for PS2s for the track on order and will be adding camber plates (most likely Vorshlag) to mine.

Hoping we see a spring set from Ford Performance.

Can someone clarify for me does the base gt500 with handling package come with the camber plates or not? My dealer is saying Carbon fiber track pack only??

 

[Epiphany]

Technically, he's right. Do you have the car?

Your dealer is correct, mine said the same thing and I picked up my car last Friday. Confirmed by both the shop foreman & general sales manager. I'll let you guys know if I hear from Parts about it though of course. As of now, seems like no camber plates are supposed to come with the HP.

Skwibbs, have you looked closely at your strut tops for pins protruding upward on each one? Rumor has it that Job2 HP Base case cars, come with them in place. When was your car built?

Produced June 10th I believe. From what I recall last time I was under the hood they were there, but not on any sort of angle I've seen on cars with camber plates. I think we're talking about the same thing...

Mine is a Job2(Shark Fin) and I checked and they don't have the pins but they do have the dimples.

Stupid question, but considering the hood pins, should you be gentle when closing the hood or does it require a bit more force? I went with the latter approach the first time but wouldn't want to damage anything in future. I'll snag some pics of the strut tops later.

The book says to let the hood drop on its own the last 8-10 inches. I found this to work perfect.

Thanks for that, really need to sit down with it today.

Got some pics. Are the hood pins supposed to be a little jiggly?

yes they self align.

Just spoke to Noah @ Ford Performance(Via Chat) and he said the Handling Package doesn't get the adjust strut mounts(only the Track Package). After seeing all the conflicting pamphlets and such this is very disappointing and actually I'm a little miffed. I even forwarded the threads where there were examples of Ford releasing this info. I know it's not his fault but Ford has conflicting info

no sir, the only parts that come with the handling package is the gurney flap, splitter wickers and the oil separator
Noah at 12:40, Jul 14:
I need to double check on the strut mounts
Noah at 12:43, Jul 14:
strut mount do not come with the handling package

I don't have much faith in FP on the phone/chat. Do your best to verify elsewhere.

Read this one through if you haven't already...
