    Sonic Blue for sale?

    There is some history with collectible Fords and "special paint". In 1968 many of the Shelby/Ford dealers were "stuck" with excess inventory. The dealers were getting 5% rebates because Shelby's were a whopping $4,000+ back then and considered expensive. Ford started a "special paint" promo to...

    Transaxle Cooler

    Love this forum, thanks for the input. I'll be going with the Cooltech. When I lost the clutch, Shelby18 (GTX1 owner) was running with me on the track. He called Dennis, Dennis walked me through it on the phone in the pits. Gary Pattetson (head of engineering at Shelby American) came by with new...

    Camilo's GT

    Chip, I hope to meet you out at Mojave. Running my GT at Spring Mountain in Vegas was so damn fun I can't wait to do more events with the car. I have a rain check for Mojave, I signed up for the first one but couldn't make it out so Mike Borders extended an invitation again this year. I may just...

    Transaxle Cooler

    I will probably run 6-8 track days per year. My first time out I lost clutch pressure due to most likely boiling the stock fluid and getting an air pocket. I have read where people recommend using better fluid (easy fix going to 600) but also the transaxle cooler. Are there different types of...

    Camilo's GT

    I was reading where Camilo has owned a few different GT's, I think he still owns this one. This paint scheme is unreal, looks awesome.......

    Shelby 1000HP GT500

    I was thoroughly impressed at the Shelby 50th Bash with HP these cars are coming with. The 2011 GT350R's put 600+HP to the rears, I chased two of them around the track in Vegas and they are very fast fars. I have a Heffner Pulley and Tune. Another friend has a 2008 Supersnake Convertible that...

    First track day in GT

    Do the 600 clutch fluid for sure. I lost my clutch to an air bubble because I cooked some fluid out in Vegas. I had to bleed it at the track which is messy but it popped right back up. I gotta do the muffler and brake mods too although the stock brakes worked great for the track I was on...

    RE: New Ford GT.... Not spreading any rumors but my conversation was with the president if Shelby American and their head if engineering. They raised the topic and to me it sounded like the conversation has already happened with Ford and is continuing to happen. Shelby is bummed all the after...

    Which radar detector?

    I just bought this and used it on the Shelby 50th Bash/Road Rally. Worked Great, has a great Iphone app that goes with it that allows you turn off X-Band or any Band for that matter. Crowd Sourcing is awesome because it gets smarter with time... KA Band = CHP

    Video from Cockpit in my Heritage at the Shelby 50th Bash -Spring Mountain, Nevada

    Bridgestones were awesome. I ran 31psi up front and 30psi in the rear and they stuck like glue. Even under acceleration out of corners in 2nd gear it was hard to break it loose. I have Hefner pulley and tune.

    Clutch Fluid Change and Reccomendation

    While racing at open track this weekend my clutch pedal went down. Thanks to a phone conversation with dennis I learned how to bleed the clutch and it popped right back up. The fluid was dirty and needs to be changed. Does anyone use higher temperature stuff or have any input on the clutch type...
