• 2007 Ford Shelby GT, featuring Ford Racing Performance Parts (FRPP), has been homologated by the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) for competition in the Touring 2 (T2) class.

DEARBORN, Mich., February 12, 2007 - The Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) has homologated the new 2007 Ford Shelby GT for competition in its T2 class. Owners of 2005-2007 model year Mustangs also scored big with the SCCA and will be allowed to compete using Ford Racing Performance Packs in the T2 class.
"Mustang has a long winning tradition in road racing, and Ford Racing plans to build on that heritage," said Jamie Allison, Ford Racing Performance Group Manager. "The Ford Shelby GT, along with FRPP-modified Mustangs, can now continue the Mustang racing legacy, started by Carroll Shelby, that has its roots in SCCA competition."
SCCA's Touring classes are designed to allow SCCA members to compete in commonly available late model vehicles. SCCA rules require these vehicles to be kept as close to street legal as possible with minimal modifications to maintain a level of competitiveness and safety.
Competition in the T2 class is very diverse and ranges from high powered rear-drive platforms like the Mustang GT or Pontiac GTO to all-wheel drive vehicles like the Subaru WRX and Mitsubishi Lancer EVO. "The Ford Racing packs, available on Mustangs, provides for a more competitive field and fits well with the intent and spirit of the T2 class," said Jeremy Thoennes, SCCA Technical Services Manager .
In addition to Ford Racing Performance Parts Power Upgrade Pack (M-2006-FR1) and Handling Pack (M-2005-FR3), SCCA has homologated the optional 3.73:1 gear ratio (M-4209-F373N) and 4-piston front brake kit (M-2300-S) from the Shelby GT500. Other FRPP parts legal for competition include 18"x9.5" wheels (M-1007-S1895B), exhaust x-pipe (M-5251-R), performance radiator (M-8005-S197), and brake duct kit (M-2004-A).
Ford Racing will offer contingency in T2 for any Mustang finishing 1 st or 2nd. Mustang racers are required to register online at http://www.fordracingparts.com/userreg/welcome.asp prior to the race to be eligible for the contingency program.
The recent success of the Ford Racing Mustang FR500C program in Grand Am Cup competition was instrumental in prompting Ford Racing's involvement in SCCA. "SCCA T2 is the perfect venue for Mustang enthusiasts to enjoy their car in club racing competition. The Mustang is an amazingly capable platform and we want to see Mustang and our customers win at all levels of motorsports," said Allison.

I think it's wierd that camber plates are not included in this kit. I thought it was almost necessary to do so when lowering this car that far (1.5 inches).

 

Here's mine. Just got the wheels. Now I continue to wait for the nice weather.

Dave Kegel

 

Yeah, I don't know. All I know that looks like they got away with not putting camber plates.

Ari

 

Were getting some nice stuff today .

 

You don't really need plates, just the eccentric camber bolts. The bolts are enough to get the camber where you need it.

Dave Kegel

 

The kit doesn't even specify camber bolts though. Does anyone know if it comes with the bolts anyway???

 

Dave,
What tire / wheel size are you running? How low is that drop and have you had any problems with rubbing?

 

I'm from the East Coast of Canada and don't miss that stuff. Hope you have somewhere inside to put the car if it freezes.

It was my understanding winter is mild in BC.

 

They're 18x9 front and 18x10 rear. Tires are 255/45 and 285/40. I think the drop was 1.5". I never measured before and after but that's what others have reported with the FRPP/Eibach springs.

I haven't driven it yet with the new wheels and tires. And with the way this weather's been, it may be awhile.

Dave

 

Mild yes garage no I'm thinking House next with two car one for my 10 yr old amd me ! If it ever got ugly I can tuck it away. Could be worse I came from Sakatchewan and the freezing there leave pot holes that one really could call THE BLACK HOLE ! lol btw what is H-Town i never heard that before ?

 

H-Town is Houston, TX. It gets to 30s and 40s at night here in the winter and we think we are in a deep freeze lol. Coming from Nfld., and i been here 12 years and cannot take the cold like that now.

Both my Brats are kept in garages at home and covered garage bldg. at work. It would be a nightmare for me to have them outside at night even in the nice climate here. One of my friends made a joke upon having a conversation about re-incarnation;- she said she wants to come back in her next life as one of my cars!

 

To come back as a car huh ? And get totaled maybe na I've never seen any pics of the brats yet at least they would not have to pay taxs lol Woot its my Friday time to go for a nice deep ocean dive and if I run close to. Zero air at say 200 feet below sea level and make it back I tell you makef one appreciate things a LOT more. Have a great day !

 

I don't think my Sally could take those temps. You guys have nice looking cars but they look like there're freezing. Here's a pic of mine.

 

Do a search in the MG and PW Color Sections and pics. are in here somewhere. If One drives the road near me they will be put to attention and task. They shall work for the chance to hit my Girls if i have anything to do with it.

 

Oops sorry man, I didn't remember that this is only for white stangs when I posted my Redfire pics above. Well heck their all nice.

 

Well lets put some white ones in the red zone LOL
It's a balmy 11 degrees so I got the top down untill it wants to rain.
btw nice Mustang Scarpi
