    wow. it's funny i had several folks begging me to sell them my car earlier in the year and now i can't even unload it for 22k to you guys who "get" these things.....oh well. :(here's what i gotta do i guess- 20k and its yours and i'll deliver it anywhere east of the Mississippi. Oh! almost...
  2. 2008 Mustang GT500 "track" car....

    You guys have all seen me acting like a nervous fool in the smoking tire one take video- and now you can own the car.Seriously though folks- this car is the best handling Mustang I've ever driven. Sam Strano helped me out in figuring out the suspension and wheels. JBA Speed Shop did the dyno...
  3. Embarrassing but a fun video nonetheless

    this is my GT500 getting reviewed for the Smoking Tire one take YouTube series. The car impressed! Zack scared the hell out of me driving this thing- AND we got pulled over and guess who forgot to renew his registration while my car was grounded this spring with electrical issues?Enjoy friends!
  4. Brake Help for my 2008 GT500

    thanks guys! my only concern with the super aggressive pads are that all the verbiage warns that they're for "track use only" because they need to heat up in order for them to work. Is this true? I want the most bang for the buck and it sounds like 2 piece rotors, race pads, fluid, cooling and...
  5. Brake Help for my 2008 GT500

    Hi Coz and ChrisM: Thanks so much for the response! This place is really great. I'm not nearly as experienced a track/race car driver as pretty much anyone here- but I love tinkering with my cars and this place has been a great resource for helping me decide what to do and how to do it with my...
  6. Brake Help for my 2008 GT500

    Hi Guys: I have neglected the brakes on this flying pig long enough and wanted to know what you guys think I should do so this thing does a better job of stopping.Right now we have stock brakes on a car that has had just about everything else optimized for canyon carving and road course work...
  7. Got my cage and Kirkeys installed!

    this car is now officially insane.this car was visceral and felt like you were opening the gates of hell overtime you pushed the gas pedal before- by stiffening it up with this 6 point roll bar and ripping out all the carpets and the rear seats- the thing is nuts.if any of you guys are...
  8. 2020 Mustang GT500 Debut?

    I thought for sure during all those silly Demon teasers that FCA put out that the car was going to be AWD. We didn’t know anything about it- but we knew it came stock with drag radials on all four corners. The more I thought about it- the more sense it made. I bet Ford won’t do that- it’ll be...
  9. Help with my GT500!

    That helps a ton! Thanks!Some clarification: The car currently has no axle backs but has the cats and the stock x pipe and headers. Our plan is to install an JBA Off-road X-pipe and do a new dyno tune- but I think I'll need some type of axle back then because it'll be too loud.i do...
  10. Help with my GT500!

    Hi Guys: I've decided to keep working on making my GT500 the best handling most fun car I can. I've always wanted it to be a race car for the road- and after the suspension work that I've done, the NT01 285/40/r18s on all four corners on 18x11s, it's almost there. It has ST Coil-overs and camber...
  11. My GT500 with it's new wheels and tires

    Thanks guys! That’s great advice. I’m pretty invested in 18” wheels so I think the Brembos are our. Getting some more air flow to the brakes especially up front will certainly help.
  12. My GT500 with it's new wheels and tires

    For now all I’ve done to the brakes is better fluid, stainless lines, and hawk pads. The stock GT500 brembos aren’t the worst with stainless lines and better pads.The NT01s are 275/40s because I wanted to run a square set up. It actually doesn’t feel like it needs more tire and I’m not sure...
  13. My GT500 with it's new wheels and tires

    Hi folks: Here are some photographs of my 2008 GT500. I'm building this thing to basically be a track car that I can still sorta-kinda drive on the road. We put a TVS supercharger in it, a boost a pump, fancy expensive injectors, a big JLT CAI- a giant heat exchanger, ST coilovers, new UCAs and...
