  1. 7.5 track days, MPSS cry uncle

    Here is a closeup. The tread separated around 80% of the circumference of the tire. They were down to the wear bars anyway but I was hoping I could finish out the day but had to quit early. My driveway is gravel so that's what all the dirt is, but you can see the steel belts in there. 7,100...
  2. Full exhaust/headers vs off-road midpipe

    I know lethal got some decent HP gains from just the off-road midpipes and CAI/tune. How much more do you get with the full system like Kooks or ARH? Mid pipes being ~$200 ish and headers over $2,000, are we talking about another 5 WHP or another 30?
  3. First Track Experience/Thoughts

    Did my first track event at Barber (near Birmingham) this weekend. Five 30 minute sessions per day, (10 total 30 minute sessions, or about 450 miles on the track). This was through an outfit called "JustTrackIt" and if you're in the southeast and haven't heard of them I can't recommend them...
  4. UPR oil separator 1500 mile inspection/review

    If you don't have a catch can, time to get one! I've had the UPR installed for about 1500 miles and decided to check how it did. Close to 2 oz of oil collected in those miles. The insides look pretty and functional too. Looks like you could get away with dumping every 4-5k due to the large...
  5. Two very different 5.2L FPC speed machines

    Yes, the airplane has a 5.2L FPC motor with quad exhaust, but only 4 cylinders. (Lycoming IO-320 experimental) 168 HP @ 2700 RPM. Max speed in level flight about 210 mph so despite the deficit I'll bet it's faster than the 350!
  6. Oil filter cutaway @ 1300 miles

    Thought you guys might want a look inside the filter after break-in (1300 miles). As you can see there is a lot of what looks like sealant and lock-tite. A few fine metal pieces and some larger (red arrow). The media is approximately 103 in^2. Definitely do your first change well before the...
  7. UPR oil separator install. Help!?

    Looks beautiful! Well the CSS took maybe 30 seconds to put on. What about the main can? I see a picture, but where does it mount/attach to the body of the car? A little help?
  8. 300 miles of twistys: impressions

    I know I know, I have a super common white with blue stripe car and I expected to be passing other identical looking gt350s every few miles. But I didn't see any 350s of any color! Ok in all seriousness, the handling of this car is everything I thought it would be and more. It is EASY to...
  9. now, lets talk oil!

    Thanks to mattlqx we have a source of filters at a reasonable price. Now, oil. I paid $120 per case at the stealership. What other brands meet ford spec WSS-M2C931-B? Best place to buy? Saving $16 on the filter and another 20% on oil might save enough to buy a tire!
  10. oil filter

    Who will be the first to cut open the FL2069ST to determine why it is worth $31?!
  11. LOVE the car, here's my gripes

    The last new car I bought was my 2000 Stang (a base v6). The only extra it has is cruise control. It was $15k OTD after many hours of negotiation. Probably depreciated to nothing now so I'm keeping it of course. Things have changed a lot in 15 years. Traction cont., stability cont., rear...
  12. Engine Oil Temps

    Looks like blocking air to the oil cooler may be necessary in colder weather for the track pack/R cars. OAT was about 35F last night and pushing it hard (full throttle acceleration, slow, downshift, full throttle again) the OT hovered around 180-185. Only very briefly did it top 190. As soon as...
  13. Vin 0596, Chassis 0444, track

    Built on 10/22, Delivered 11/18. Barely had enough time to just take it to get gas (computer showed 5 miles to empty), give money, get picture, and drive off so I could park it in the garage and get to work on time! (didn't even inspect anything, I hope its undamaged but I could care less about...
  14. Possible MSRP allocation

    My dealer hinted at another MSRP allocation being possible. I'm assuming non-R of course. If you've been desperately looking and despise ADM shoot me a PM. :headbang:
  15. Atlanta Suburb Shelby 350s

    Should have a car in about a week! I noticed a few of us close to Atlanta (I'm near Rockmart GA). Has anyone thought to organize some A.S.S. 350 meetups to track and show type events? This is my first car that I can call a sports car so I'm pretty excited to do all the car stuff.
  16. "GT 350" spotted

    About month ago I was in Newport, RI and saw a new yellow S550 drive by that someone had plastered "GT 350" stickers on :tsk:. Wish I had a picture!
