All is well now, but 2 accidents by others has led to 2 replacement CF wheels.
The first was the passenger rear wheel. My dealer let me know when my car originally arrived, so I rushed over only to find that the transport driver gouged both the wheel and tire when backing the car off the...
I purchased mine from the following supplier. Note that it's an east coast location. They say the pads will ship within 1-3 business days. Mine shipped right away. If you are not successful finding a source closer to home, you might consider calling these guys direct to see if they can get you...
In response to Joe's Post #5
You are correct on T11, that is until I followed a suggestion for a late turn in which solved the problem--no more chewing on the R's front splitter.
I ran my R today at AMP with no sound violation issues. One guy in a GT500 with an aftermarket exhaust however was black flagged due to sound. An onsite shop installed temporary baffles that allowed him to continue until one of them dislodged leading to a second black flag (they fixed it and he...
I just checked my '17 GT350R that was delivered in late August (HR104) and it has the standard white Motorcraft oil filter on it. I will add that I just had the oil changed for the first time less than 2 weeks ago at the dealer when they did the oil line recall.
One other comment about the wheel, it's hard to see in the picture, but in addition to the exposed fibers there was also a pinch (far right side of damage area in pic above). The pinched area had a sharp to the touch edge that would have been concerning as well beyond the potential unraveling of...
A few quick thoughts about this car keeping in mind that I have less than 100 miles on it...
1. For those who asked, yes it does have the R-electronics package. The stereo seems a little better sounding than the previous model although not by a whole lot. Still lacking depth, richness, and...
I took mine to the dealer to have the hood realigned, Sync3 repaired, the vibration noise evaluated that some have equated to possible piston slap, and for them to help come up with a solution to add a transmission cooler.
2/19 Update: Unfortunately I do not have answers to the most important...
I am truly bummed; I hope someone is able to come up with a viable solution to upgrade base and tech GT350s very soon as I am ready to buy it.
For those who haven't seen the differences in TREMEC TR-3160 transmissions with and without the 3gpm built in oil pump system, here is a link to an...
Tom, if it's solidly backed by AMP availability, interest and our money, perhaps you could arrange a GT350 only event for up to 10 of us on a Friday. And then have the track rented the following day (Saturday) for Mustang Day at AMP. Selfishly, I'd enjoy a weekday or weekend event with 10 GT350s...
In addition to the symptoms noted above, I found via experimentation that the same vibration noise can also occur in neutral while coasting and feathering the throttle in the approximate 1800-2300 RPM range.
