gt67 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 OK, after a very stressful day the sticky tires are back on the Boss and the F1's are back in the shed. Thanks for the help guys, I had a good conversation with Vic also. I see they upped the temperatures for Tuesday and Wednesday now that I made the change. Talked to Scott yesterday and he was on his way to Charleston with clear skies. :happy feet: :happy feet: :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumors Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Scott is on the road. Jeff has ordered new rotors and they are supposed to arrive on Friday. He has to install and be at my home Saturday and we head out Sunday morning. Just dropped off my car at dealership and they are installing new SC for me. Got confirmation that my radiator cover will be delivered on Thursday and possibly the hood extractor will be delivered same day. I should be able to get both installed prior to leaving. Crazy wild sressful 12 days just went through. This trip cannot happen soon enough. Will be nice to have a diversion. Picked up the stickers last night. Safe driving all and see you Sunday.

Rumors Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Installing new SC right now. Have two days to take a breath and decide what to take. Right now I know it's cash and booze. Better grab some clothes and GPS......even with GPS I will probably still be last one there. LOL Rad cover just arrived a few hours ago. Looks great and should get it installed Saturday. Two horses born yesterday morning and one horse born this morning. That's 4 horses in past 5 days. Only two more pregnant left on farm but they both aren't due for about 3 weeks. Am ready to hit the road. Hope with this frantic past 13 days I don't forget something...............Boy I need this get-away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probable go with Michelin. Vic Vic, I have the Conti's on the GT-H. I like them, but they seem to wear quicker than the MPSS on the GT500. I expected them to last longer on a low hp car. They are a good tire, but I think you will be happier staying with the Pilot's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07 NAJA Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Just got back from Discount Tire. Deceided on the MPSS, just one problem....there are NO 275-35ZR-18s available. Seems that Michelin has 1600 on backorder so i said "to hell with it". I just ordered new DRs for the rear and the PS2s on the front are good to go for this trip.

Rumors Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 SC seems great. No more whine from the bad bearing issue. Also as soon as I pulled into office parking lot I installed the Radiator Cover. Looks great. Small line up problem on drivers side but still looks great. Hopefully tomorrow the fuse box cover and hood extractor arrive and I can find time to install. 3 days..............and 3 HP faster. LOL. bite me Scott.

Vic Now you now why I was so stressed out Tuesday trying to decide which ones to go with. Sounds like the Boss and SGT'S are going to have some competition this year with all these new sticky tires and suspension upgrades from the big HP guys and one makeover for the best looker.

2007_Shelby_GT Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Hey Vic, did you get the DR's or the DW's? I need to replace these Nitto555's, they are really sounding like truck tires! The wahwahwahwahwahwahwah noise is really getting to me! Really envious of you guys going on this journey! Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stngfever Posted April 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Sam, no need to be envious, come on up and join us Jim and vic will be happy to know that I'm sitting here wearing shorts and a wife beater today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumors Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Hood heat extractor and new fuse box cover installed. No time to tackle putting the new CF bumper on. Sun is shining in Michigan for first time forever. Going to do some yard work and watch the Masters and close the office for 13 days. Happy smiles ahead.

ViperNC Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Weather looking a little better, but still 40% chance of rain Monday. Hoping that drops a little further.... It will be a last minute decision for me at this point. Kids are on spring break and trying to balance wife's expectations, work, and meeting you guys for the journey on Monday.
