ColdwaterHotrod Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Lets see a count of how many of you are a member over at SVTPerformance.com & if so what do you think of it?

Marc@Kentucky Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 I am a member over there, and yes, it is a different crowd. As long as you're respectful in your posts it's usually reciprocated. There a few really good technical resources over there, but not a whole lot of activity in the GT500 section just yet.

requis Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Some Fantastic resources from FOURCAM, to another group of members focused on the ENgine capabilities with many discussion on the current capability to f the GT 500 Engine. As above courteous posts will be recepricated. Cheers, Requis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svtkeith Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Lets see a count of how many of you are a member over at SVTPerformance.com & if so what do you think of it? I'm thinking of signing up over their but the members seem hard on each other over their unlike our loving family here I thought of doing the same thing CW, I will follow SVTPerformance, but I will not post on that site. A guy had politely asked a question on that site about the difference between the Term s/c and the Shelby's s/c, he was rudely spoken down to and told "why ask such a dumbass question", not all the people on that forum are like that but it does discourage one to participate. Face to face, I'll deal, in my own way with a rude person, but there's no place for it on a website forum. I've also followed at last two other sites besides that one, and I agree CW, this one is more like a family. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcdover Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Modular Fords is another good site. Not a lot of activity on the GT500 forum, but they have several members who submit great tech posts. They seem to have the latest news on performance mods.

bullittmansparts Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 I'm a member and generally enjoy the forums......There is a wealth of technical experience and hard core racing and driving people that hang there.....AND a few disruptive posters as there are every where. It's nice to have different places to go for different viewpoints, IMHO B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pointcover Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 I've been a member over there since November 2001. This was after the purchase of my 2001 Cobra. I continued my membership through out my 2003 Cobra tenure. Soon after my 03 purchase, I started to see a decline in "respectful posts". In my humble opinion, the forums are not regulated whch reflects the over atmoshepere of the board. Seems like more and more kids and a ton of Shelby bashers.

I'm thinking of signing up over their but the members seem hard on each other over their unlike our loving family here Been there for years. Most guys are pretty cool. Yeah, it's a younger crowd, and that shows to some degree...but there are alot of good folks there, too. Some great tech people as well. If oyu do go over there, just keep that in mind... I'm a member of SVTP, but I don't wonder over there much anymore. Too much bickering. It comes & goes in waves...you know me there, too. When the '500 first came out, there were lots of detractors (as there was when the terminator first came out). Now, most have a new respect for the '500.

Fastbackman Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 I spend a little time at that site and agree with most of what's been said. It is a younger crowd and it is a little rough. Sometimes there are disrespectful post and it's not much of a family atmosphere. There is a lot of tech knowledge there, especially from Fourcam and they do have some new mods who have greatly improved the site. Before the new mods, I gave up on the site but now it's much better.

svtkeith Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Please remember everyone here does not have a Shelby. Not trying to sound mean, but a lot of the great people here have other types of Mustangs. Bill, you're absolutely right and I apologize for that. Thanks for picking that up. What I should have said....It's a Mustang Fan Family or even a Chev, now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1BADGT500 Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 I am a member at svtperformance (gt500 forum) and I visit regularly but there is not enough activity and too few posts on the gt500 forum to keep me amused full time. It's all relative I guess, dgussin1 left this site after being bashed for his videos (which I enjoyed watching) and he thinks he is treated much better there so he hasn't been back here since. I think no matter where you go you will eventually run into someone who has nothing nice to say to you. The moderator there ac427cobra (Bruce) is a good guy who is very knowledgable and runs his car regularly at the Road America track and posts videos of himself blowing by Porches, Z06's and the like. It gets real interesting there at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossss Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 SVTP is a great site if you're looking to get more info on SVT vehicles from some really insightful people. The tradeoff vs. this site is that it's going to be a "less family oriented" forum but that is not what they are trying to create. It's a bunch of gearhead's, 99% men, who act how men act when they are all together talking about cars. Are they at each other's throats a lot? Sure, but it's no different then the type of hazing/trash talking that you'll get at a local performance shop and it's all in fun. I'm used to it because I played sports my whole life so I feel right at home with the locker room talk. Most of the guys are pretty cool and I appreciate their forum for their ability to get to the point and stay on topic. One of the cons, in my opinion, of stangsunleashed is the tangents and inside jokes that tend to be created. I encourage you to sign up and post when you really have something to say.

LSR Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I am a member over at SVTP, join date: January 2003 with only 313 post. I don't post much here or over at SVTP. There are some good vendors and tuners that have threads on SVTP such as ATS, JDM, Kenne Bell, etc... And yes, it is alot of bashing and loose moderating at SVTP and ussually when I see negative post or threads at SVTP, it pushes me further away from the site and I don't frequent it for a while afterwards. Alot of local people I have met on SVTP are not there anymore because of the negativity, but I only go on to SVTP on occassions to see what good info. I can grasp.
