I'm Cam - Mr. Indecisive
I am finally going to start documenting my new build. I bought the new car back in December to replace my 2009 Bullitt. Long story short. I ended up keeping the Bullitt so now I am the proud owner of two awesome S197's. I am not planning anything complicated for this car but it will have my usual signature: the clean and simple look, but unlike my 3V, it will actually be fast.
Here is the original thread of me introducing the car.

Car Information
2012 Shelby GT500
Ingot Silver Metallic w/ Stripe Delete
SVT Performance Package
Electronics Package
Recaro Seats
Glass Roof
Haven't looked up the configuration numbers yet, but I know that it is less than 1 in 52.
I plan on breaking the build into two parts. Phase #1: engine modifications and Phase #2: suspension. I've pretty much mapped out the entirety of the engine stuff so I wanted to go ahead and do that first, plus this car already looks great right out of the box. The suspension plan is still up in the air but I'm pretty sure I want to put it on coilovers and 20x10's.
Phase #1: Engine Modifications (Plan as of 04/02/2013)
*Ford 2013 GT500 2.3L TVS Kit (M-6066-MSVT23)
*JLT 127mm Carbon Fiber CAI
*C&R Heat Exchanger w/ Larger Resevoir
*Possibly Upgraded Injectors
*JLT Oil Catch Cans
*DSS 1-Piece Driveshaft
*Lethal O/R X Pipe
