GT500 Mods
I just thought I would put an update up as to what I have done to the car and what my thoughts are. As far as performance mods this year I have added: Ford Racing cold air intake, Ford Racing "KR" axle back exhaust, Ford Racing "KR" short throw shifter, Ford Racing 3.73 gears, SCT X3 flash tuner with VMP custom tune and a Steeda adjustable upper control arm. My only complaints about the car when I got it was the horrible wheel hop and the exhaust was way too quiet. I also found that the car felt heavy on take off. After these mods it ts like driving a different car. It feels much lighter on it's feet, the wheel hop is gone, and the exhaust has a great bark to it. All in all I am very happy with all of these parts and would recommend them to anyone that may be considering them.

How's traction with those 3.73s and all that torque? ...that's gotta be a hoot!
These cars are bad for wheelhop and I'm glad you were able to cure it. Even my V6 with one wheel peel did it when it was stock. It still does it occasionally, even with aftermarket upper and lower control arms.

Stock was 3.31 and 3.73 works great on these cars. 4.10 would be ok but isn't really necesary with this much power. It would be a blast though and I probably would have done it but I always think resale and 4.10's seem to scare people.
