yes, ford racing makes a kit, and there are plenty of aftermarket parts, thats probably what I'll do next, mine is a 10, the 11's came with some sort of performance handling package, guys who have the 11 say the handling is vastly improved.

True, a good amount of that improvement is also due to the 100-120 pound weight reduction (aluminum block for '11) off of the nose.

I don't think I'll lose any sleep. This is what I did to "protect" myself

Funny thread, lots of goofy info from wanna-be racers.

My friends Uncle just bought an 2011 GT500, we are suppossed to have a "date" soon to run them just for fun with my 05 C6 that we just completed H(TrickFlows)/C/I(Ported FAST 102mm) & Full exhaust. Ill report back if we actually get this done, but yes Ive ruined it as its no "stock vs stock" race anymore.


(To ***** this thread some more, an In-car vid of mine) And I own you ALL in my mustang small block so zip it with the mustang bashing, lol (just teasing no need to get all huffy). Fast is fast is fast, people need to relax to appreciate passion for cars and speed. All it takes is money and you can be faster and faster, but someone will ALWAYS out spend you. Fact.

I could joke about it like crazy but its fast. Its a "purpose built race car" though, not a street car.

Dont get me wrong, I like mustangs... They taste like chicken
