BanditSRT8 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Welcome 08BlueCoupe! and congratulations on the new Shelby; I see you got my favorite color. There's lots of information here in this forum - enjoy. I too am new (mine delivered on Tuesday) and I only have two things that I can advise... 1) Do a LOT of searches. I have read probably 80% of this forum, and it answered many of my questions, and prepared me for what to expect before I took delivery. 2) http://www.evoperform.com/shop/ 'nuff said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

08BlueCoupe Posted May 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Welcome, and congratulations on selecting one of the most fun muscle cars ever made. My tip, do not turn the traction control off i call it the scary button =P does anybody recomend a certain exhaust system for a more throaty sound?

mciarochi Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 i call it the scary button =P does anybody recomend a certain exhaust system for a more throaty sound? Yes, just about everybody does. There's a bunch of videos posted on You Tube, if you search for GT500 and EXHAUST. I like the sound of the Borlas, but there's even a few choices there. Depends on your choice of how loud, the tone, how much drone, etc., etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingram4868 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Read about the drone which many mufflers have. It can drive you crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boss Doctor Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Welcome! Search, search, search before you buy. Everyone has opinions, and the only relevant one is your own. There are a lot of people on this site with sound advice, and it would be foolish to ignore them, so don't. My Advice: Stay away from RPM Outlet, (RPMOutlet.com).

CRQuarto Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Welcome! Congrats on the new ride Like Bandit said, read through the forums. I read as many pages as I possibly could before I started posting. I learned a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprint200 Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Congrats on the car...........aaaahhh, yesss I remember it like it was yesterday.......'still have the stupid grin on my face. I do have one serious suggestion for you. Find a driving school (High Performance Drivers Education) run by SVTOA or NASA etc. and sign up for a weekend. You will learn SOOOOOO much about your car and yourself. And you'll never leave traction control on again..........

sprint200 Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Where are the High Performance Drivers Schools located at? I'm interested. They vary from region to region. I see you're from Florida, so you would be looking at events held at Daytona, Sebring, Homestead...........and there are a number of organizations to choose from. I would recommend contacting a couple of our Florida members who regularly attend road course events: dactyl & JAS427 Just shoot them a PM, I'm sure they'ld be happy to point you in the right direction. Just make sure the school has mandatory instructor ride-alongs for their beginning groups and a history of not solo'ing people too soon. They can give you better local information. With this much power, it's a very good idea to learn how to use it........smoothly :shades: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
