Bob Z Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Last summer I raced in NASA a 2007 Miller Challenge Mustang( FR500s) at the Miller Motorsports track in Utah. My friend and partner owns the car... What blast that car is to drive! So we decided to build a copy from a 2007 Shelby GT. NOT reinventing anything , just trying to build a reasonably priced, safe, reliable Road Course car that everyone can drive- And be a Shelby.Our first goal was to use as many Shelby Performance Parts as possible. Thanks Jer and SPP for helping. Thanks Metro Ford here in Miami for a sponsorship on the labor part of the build. IT WILL BE DONE AND WILL BE AT JOHN KELLER's TEAM SHELBY GRAND NATIONAL IN CARLISLE. HERE IS A LIST ( probably forgot a couple things and may add a couple things) of the build as of today ( 5-16-2013) Welded in 6 point roll cage Sparco Circuit racing seats ( we put in a passenger racing seat to give rides) Sparco 5pt belts SPA Halon fire suppression system- 4 liter Shelby Extreme ( Baer) 6 piston front and rear- probably a little overkill Shelby American transmission cooler scoop Shelby 4.6l Extreme Duty Radiator Shelby Track Pack- most of it Shelby Aluminum Valve Covers- just because they look cool Shelby Engine cap set, fluid cap set, dip stick Torsen Differential Off road X pipes Long tube headers Billet Charge motion delete Plates AiM Digital Dash- Data logger Cold Air intake Team Dynamics 18x9 race wheels BF Goodrich G-Force R1 275/35r/ 18 Carbon Fiber rear wing Carbon Fiber front splitter PICTURES are from a while ago.

NordicShelby Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I hope you have a brake duct cooling kit installed for those Baer brakes? Also hope you are using a good race pad like Performance Friction. I have not had good luck with drilled rotors on the road course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpow96 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I too am curious about those drilled brakes, along with just about everything else in his build. But I will witness in person at the Grand Nats. Anyone else joining us for the fun at Summit Point? -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Track Racer Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Drilled rotor are fine as long as they are good quality. They do wear quicker, but unless you are racing for a long period of time super hard you won't have to change them TOO often. But as in any race application rotor will need to be changed periodically. I look forward to this coming week and seeing this car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
