    Road Track Racing W/ 2013 Gt/cs

    I have Brembo's with 14 rotors on my CS clone. I really wanted the CS but could not order it with Brembos from the dealer. I went the other way around and ordered the GT with brembos and ordered trim package 5 to get the CS trim. I don't road race but autocross. The brakes were a screaming deal...

    Drivetrain Buying New Gt - Living Long-term With 3.73s?

    I ordered my car with the 3.55 after much thought. I don't drag race but autocross about 6 times a year. I like having 5 gears to pedal thru before going into overdrive. During leisurely driving I like first, third, fifth. This engine has plenty of grunt. I get 24mpg on the highway when having...

    2011 Mustang Brake Upgrades

    Brembo Man am I glad I ordered my 14" Brembos from the factory. It was a great deal for $1600 bucks, brakes front and rear, Tower brace and 19" wheels. I believe the traction control and stability control is also modified for the Brembos. I really like the way the rotor fills the wheel...

    Tired of 19's

    20" wheels will be heavy and use a lot of HP to accelerate them. I'm willing to bet the wheels are 40 pounds. My 10 x 18 wheel weighed 24.5 pounds. I am fitting over brembos with a 14 " rotors. I like the way they look. I like a little track time so performance is important. If you just look at...

    S197 hood

    hood replacement I ended a drifting session by meeting a utility box and messed up my hood. Looked at new factory hoods then aftermarket fiberglass hoods. Ended up liking a ram air hood from LMP. The hood was only a few hundred and painted up well. Bill

    Rattle

    Took my car to the dealer yesterday to get the speedo calibrated after a wheel change and to find a rattle. The mechanic went for a ride and we could duplicate the noise. He took my car into the shop. THE CORSA exhaust sounded so good as he drove off.....ugh Turned out the lower control...

    15 or Less MPG? Something Wrong?

    updated mileage I have 8000 miles now after a trip to Florida from New England. I get a constant 22-24 on the highway cruising at 70 mph/2200rpm with 3.55 gears...sweet. When I drive with "sport mode" and am having fun about 17mpg is the norm.

    short throw shifter. Barton or Steeda

    I am visiting Florida this month and planned my tour to include Steeda. While there I had them install the new shifter for the Getrag in the 11 GT. Matt took about an hour to do the install. I use my car in a grand touring function not race. Some things you touch every time you are in the car...

    2012 Adjustable Steering

    When driving around town after the burn outs with the sport mode tractiong control active, there is a shimmy in the wheel. It goes away immediately when you turn the switch to full control. It feels like it is pulsing the brakes but not really applying the breakes. Any one else got this?

    Little help with exhaust options please

    I have an '11gt. I installed the corsa Xpipe and mufflers, using the stock mid-pipe. They work as advertized with respect to noise reflection. Loud when you punch it but purrs at 2200 rpm. My car has factory headers so why replace them? The 2012 will have them too on the coyote engine...
