    Thanks for that Stan. I have the HP so I should have the Adjustable Struts. I can't see any suspension differences from the CFTP except for all the carbon fiber components and wheels? I did add the Steeda 2 point Trac Brace and IRS brace to my... (see full post)

    Hi Bill. This is an old conversation and I am probably hijacking it a bit. I have my Mach1 HP A10 but also recently got a 22 Shelby GT500 HP (not CFTP). I took it to The Ridge this weekend. In my Mach1 with a few track days under my belt, with GY... (see full post)
