Race Red is by far the fastest.

Red is only the fastest if your playing Orcs in Warhammer 40k.

lol...

Funny, I also applied a highly scientific approach to my black '13 GT500. It involved my right foot and the accelerator.

White GT500s are faster. They reflect all visible light making them sun powered also.

kcoTiger

So you're going to that direction, hm?

Since all energy on earth originates from the sun, black is superior at capturing it. You are correct that white would reflect it, perhaps to a black car next to your car, giving it more energy. Of course you would need the air conditioning on in the black car, therefore sapping some of the available energy. This might me a draw. Hmmm

Anyway, I think first upgrades should be directed at the suspension. That's my plan at least.

My new Peterson Breather tank is coming today. I am so excited.

Actually, color that absorbs light will go faster. Since light gives energy, it essentially pushes against all surfaces, making white the slowest

Hood struts and GT500 mufflers were my first 2 mods.

Both are must-haves as far as I'm concerned.

As far as the resonators, I'm hoping to have them eliminated next time I'm having something done to the car, which will be a bunch of suspension work and a 1-piece driveshaft, in about 2-3 weeks, once everything gets here

In order: Tint,Tune, cai, exhaust of choice, wheels, tires , suspension, driveshaft.

Jlt oil separator somewhere in there. I did it with tune/ cai

Love my 5.0 just like it's day 1 and it has 17,200 miles.

When you build a home, you start with the foundation before you hang curtains.

Suspension, driveshaft, tires.

That's like saying when you buy an elephant you potty train it first. I don't sleep in my Stang. Jk man...alot of people drop theirs before anything.

MJJ

I guess I would consider changing factory springs to a shorter stiffer spring (suspension mod) which was the first thing I listed.

Difference in opinion on priorities I guess. It's all good.

I would say, drive her for a bit... once you get to know how she feels, then you'll know what you may want to upgrade. In the meantime, as recommended by several posters, acquire an oil separator for the passenger-side. Some hood struts of your choice would be nice, as well.

With that said, the first mod I did to my car was the exhaust. It was just too quiet for my taste.
