I'm Looking For Someone Fast & Knows The Mods Inside And Out.An even better play would be to swap the full Dark Horse R brake system onto a GT500 and run 18" wheels and tires. Expensive but would save a TON of weight. And weight is the enemy of the 500. Front end weight savings would be on the order of 125... (see full post)-

I'm Looking For Someone Fast & Knows The Mods Inside And Out with Like.I don't own a gt500 but I know a couple guys that track theirs.You certainly need to start by activating your camber plates.

Mike_FL replied to the thread S197 2014 GT Premium Track Package.Good idea on the one piece driveshaft. My mustang felt noticeably quicker on acceleration due to the less rotating mass when I installed one *Edited to add* also had a lighter flywheel and clutch installed at the same time so they all helped...

Bill Pemberton replied to the thread 2025 PP GT, seeking better brake pads for Street, AutoX and occasional HPDE..Same here , ran because I liked the feel of the 12s, but finally went to R18s and it took alot longer to run through them. Since they are G-Locs endurance pad they also take more heat, have a different feel and worked better for me since like you... (see full post)-

You can also run 19x11 but you will need a spacer on the front and extended wheel studs. Have a read through the apex wheel fitment guide. It’s very good...
