Dont's of owning a SGT


07SGTC

Recommended Posts

Was wondering if anyone had ever started a dont do topic for the SGT.

 

 

For example: In a post I read do not lift the hood up when your windshield wipers are lifted for cleaning purposes, you will scratch tear or damage your hood stripes.

 

Another watch how jacking up your car you will damage the pinch weld areas if not careful.

 

 

Topic can be about any area of the car, meant to educate on how not to learn the hard way.

Don't smoke a GT 500 with your blown GT/SC and brag about it here on the forum! LOL

 

 

Don't worry about doing it either. You will :)

 

But if you do get the GT/SC DON'T keep the factory tires. They are bricks. It's really easy to do a cookie when doing a sharp turn and accelerating because the tires will break loose under acceleration on the turn.

Don't let water sit on the stripes EVER!

Don't wait until AFTER the rock chips happen to get a 3M clear bra installed.

Don't push it to the edge unless you upgrade the front brakes, at LEAST.

Don't drive around with an offset rear axle - get an adjustable Panhard bar.

Amen to that, I didn't realize how off they are until I put the 10 inch rims with Nitto 285/40/18's on it. You can clearly see it offset to one side. Bugs the She-ite out of me everytime I look at it. Needless to say an adjustable panhard bar will be ordered here in the next week or so.

Don't baby them. Carroll Shelby didn't build them to sit. He built them to be ran hard and not to be perfect like a Ferrari. As I recall him saying on the cover of one of the Shelby mags " get your Shelby out and drive it..."

Don't spend another dime on your car until you get it out on the track and learn how to push it HARD. That will set your priorities straight about future purchases, one way or another. Otherwise, it's just another pretty car. Oh, and doing it on the street doesn't count.
