supersnake94 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 So who here is going to modify their 2013 GT500? This topic of discussion has also been brought up on the Camaro5 website. A lot of them said they won't but that was said before the 2013 GT500 specs were released. That is probably going to change for sure. Just want to see who here will be bitten by the 2013 GT500 mod bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpmurr Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I don't see the need right away outside of window tint. It's a pretty amazing package right off the bat. Maybe when the warranty runs out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Hye Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I def will not mod it like i did my 12 GT. I promised my wife I wont touch mine, except for a dark tint and clear bra. But i know for sure I want a louder exhaust for sure. I just don't know if ill do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfast70 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I am planning on doing a full stainless exhaust from headers to tips, a larger crank pulley (if possible),window tint and convert it to E85 (and obviously a tune to go with it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svtkeith Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Same as I did with the 07...Mod it with in the first month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011SHELBYGT500CONV Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Its hard not to modify or "Customize" it a bit, whether it's tinted windows, or getting FFRP resonator delete or FFRP mufflers, still keeping it Ford, but slightly modifing it to improve either appearance, performance or just sound....It's the major mods that I think people shy away from when they look at purchasing it used as opposed to unaltered. Alter a GT, there are thousands and thousands of those, but only 5000 or so a year on the Shelby's. I think alot of people cringe on Major Mods to Shelby's, they love to read about the mods and see the DYNO info though, just my thoughts, after all you own it.

08KR525 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 First thing I would add is a set of JLT oil seperators! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monsterpost Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Full exhaust, convert to E85, larger fuel system for running E85, better TB, crank pulley and of course a tune. That should cover it. Then its on to the suspension becasuse its going to wheel hop like a mother f^%$^. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullens Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 That is the only car I can honestly say I would keep 100% stock. Except of course for superficial stuff like window tint... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icebourg Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Leave stock.............for about a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svtbird91 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 A good oil separator on the PCV system and an L&M 66mmTB and maybe 355 rear gear but not until I've driven it for a while and provided there is a way to get access to the computer to register the gear change.

LynnF1 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Been thinking about this. Torn between new wheels and tires for the '11 and purchasing a '13... for which I'll probably want to replace the Goodyears anyway. But I'd like the launch control/better gearing/suspension. But I'd hate to drop down in HP (I have the Ford Racing Super Pak w/ 2.9L Whipple), so I'll want to know what's available (mod-wise) before committing to buy!

Take the 2.9L off of your current car and put it on the 2013. Stock blowers are easy enough to come by, if you didn't keep your OE/stock one (Shelby has take-off Eaton's for $399). There, no drop in HP now. Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjak Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Hmmm hard to say. Well there is always something you can mod...pulley swap and new tune would probably be the most common. Exhaust maybe......would need to see the exhaust setup stock. Now saying that I did these mods plus more on my 11..so lol yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2010KonaBlueGT Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Wasn't sure if it'd fit the 5.8L. If so, you're right - no problem! It should unless the changed the base of the OEM 2.3L TVS. As of now, all three are interchangable onto the same intake. Stock Eaton, 2.3L TVS, Whipple 2.9L, 3.4L & 4.0L. All you'd need is a tune. (EDIT: And I assume FRPP will be coming out with one in the not too distant future but if not, the Aftermarket will). Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
