Pete,

You'll need 18s for the Z calipers. =Jeff= came over yesterday and we test fit his Shelby wheels w the Brembos. They fit better than the C5 brakes he currently has. And the Brembo rotor offset worked out with the tire/wheel combo sitting flush with the fender line. The Brembos were on the car w A molds so they clear
17" wheels.

BTW Dom, almost got busted picking these up. Hit the toll both with a new Shelby GT500. I figured he'd spank me, but would be fun anyway. I hit the ez pass, he had to stop and pay. So as I'm puttin' along waiting for him to clear the toll, which he seemed to be having a hard time doing. I finally figured he was heading in the other direction, so I booted it. I look back to see what he's doing, and what do I see???? My Statey. Officer friendly hesitated, I let off, he went the other way. Shelby must have gone the other way too.

Steve,

Unfair race w u carrying all that extra weight.

Fortunatly we didn't play, 'cause I don't think the cop was going to join in. He was in an Intrepid, so we both would have wooped him.

And, while I was in Maine I passed a blacked out Mustang GT. Now there's a guy that want's to play. Lucky for me, he had already pulled someone over and his blue lights were on.

Remember, the GT is heavy, a 4 seater, and very un-aerodynamic.
You might be surprised how well you would do. A buddy of mine
brought his GT to a mile shootout event and was VERY disappointed.

And 650 is only a short list away. Somewhat longer list gets to 750.

Always wondered what an LT5 would do with forced induction.

Cheers!

Jeff, Todd just put together an LT5 427 at---wasn't it around 700 hp? That was NA, imagine forced induction.
Speaking of the Shelby, I believe somewhere on that list is 1000 hp. When Carol Shelby was asked if you really need 1000 hp, he said 'no, you only need about 200, but don't you want 1000?' Not an exact quote, but to the point.

Steve,


Calipers stripped and off for polishing. We'll see what they look like when done.
