I have a set I pulled off my 2011 GT500 track car at about 2k miles if anyone is interested.

Think about using Stage-8 header bolts to the heads. Header nuts/bolts are notorious for backing out and a pain to keep after. I used them on my GT500 headers 2-3 years ago and have not had to touch them.

20 years ago I had a drag / street race car and all I did for smog was drop off the registration and a $100 bill at a buddy's gas station (fellow street racer) and a couple days later I'd come back to pick up all the paperwork ready for DMV. Now a days I picked some guy near my work with a...

This has been a great read and a lot of good information. All of this is why (as a resident of *that* state) I purchased the Ford Racing/Whipple SC kit from Ford and the CARB / 50 compliant Shorty Headers from JBA when I moved up. Some of the roll your own systems from folks like Lethal were...

I also have one of these for my Whipple kit on my GT500. The code gets put in and that is it. Keep pics of this and a wider shot of maybe this and the license plate in the same shot. These (cheap) stickers fade and disappear over time and you'd be sunk if it's not here for your smog records...

So, are the BOSS 302 and GT500 sway bars the same size?

At that many miles it can also be a front wheel bearing and don't always make noise on failing. I get that vibration/shudder and have to replace them about every 18 months due to tracking my car. As others have said you can usually check it by getting the wheel off the ground and try wiggling...

I have the "Doug's Headers" shorty version with ceramic on my GT500. I picked them for whatever marginal change they will make because they are CARB approved/smog for California. Good look and fitment. I don't want the drama of swapping them every 2 years to pass smog. I have enough to deal...

I third it.

Wheels (and tires) are just a single part of a huge system that you'll be working on. Keep the wheels for now and spend just a portion of that money on track pads and a good brake fluid that won't boil over. Get to know the car this way first so you can then even tell if the new tires and...

Big air bubble in the cooling system? I know often you need to put vacuum to the system to any air out of an trouble spots.

If you have a Lund tune, you can also ask them to change the specs of the fan management. They already do that if you told them about the *170 tstat, or any heat exchanger fans you might have installed.

I have a set of these (red) I took off my 2011 with about 3k miles on them I was thinking about selling as they are just sitting around. I didn't know there was a repop market for Brembos. Go figure.

I coach for folks and mostly HOD so I see quite a few cars configured all different ways. If this is an "apples to apples" of an 11-14 (S197) decision between GT, BOSS, and GT500, the GT500 can be a comparable road course track car to a non GT500. The key is the Aluminum motor GT500s are...

+1 for Lund.

@Pentalab - Can you share a link/pointer to the FRPP control arm brace (s) ? Maybe the other 2 as well?

I don't think that 07-09 strut brace is available anymore. I'd buy one myself!

Something could be moving under acceleration back there as load is put on all the components. could be bumping against the pinion snubber, or as others have said, bad / loose bushing / link. Could also just be a new noise you just get used to after swapping out the UCA and bracket. I know...

Does anyone have one of these installed in an S197 along with a Watson Racing 4 point roll bar? I'd be interested to know of there is a fitment conflict as I already have the roll bar in the car.

Isn't the 2014 the one with the Carbon fiber 1 piece? the 11 and 12 are stock with the 2 piece driveshaft iirc.

Hmm... I took my factory front brembo calipers and rotors off my 2011 GT500pp not all that long after I got it to put on racing stuff from StopTech when they put on the Cortex suspension. Maybe I should gather them up and post them as I didn't know they would be of interest.

I'll take a look more at the 2012 nose. I swapped out the actual plastic hoot vents for more open aluminum ones from TrueForged when they still made them. I've also removed the rubber strip from the underside of the back of the hood to let the air pass through and out at the bottom of the...

I track my 2011 GT500 as a dedicated track car with all the appropriate mods. I have been looking for some sort of downforce helper on the nose. I'm probably looking at a new trucklid and a G-stream for the back as well. I feel lift at tracks like Laguna Seca at speed.

I'm sorry, can you explain a little more about these 2 parts? I have a 2011 GT500 and may have an interest. Thanks

I think the safe sex "Use the Rubber" phrase didn't translate well....
