Why not 305/35? It keeps the R model from scraping most everywhere which is huge to me, especially when my wife drives as seen below.

I’d think American Iron lap times would be a good target for comparison. The GT350 is faster but not sure I’d want to be out there at 100% + without a cage, etc. But the higher HP, better brakes, and better tires must be worth something.

I’m a Mustang guy all the way but the second dumbest automotive decision I’ve made was selling my Minerva Blue 996 GT3. GT3’s with a proper shifter are pretty much the most awesome thing on 4 wheels to drive.

I’d say Track the seat kit down by part number provided and do it. It’s a few hours for the install but not too tough. There are a couple threads here and/or PM me if you need any particular advice. And the reason to do it is because Kids. I love having a R with a rear seat. It’s not like...

Well right there’s the bottom line. If you go fast, they all wear out. Quickly. If you’re slower, and get them nice and heat cycled, you can petrify them and then might last longer but with no grip.

Best thing I did to enjoy the R in daily driving and grocery getting was to get the project6gr wheels and some 305/35’s all around. A lot of tire in the wells and the wheels look kinda sorta like the stock ones so I don’t think they detract too much from the R package look. The stock tires...

Based on what you say, why in the world would Ford be looking at your car?

Nice shirt Tomster. Must. Have.

I checked my oil. 2000 miles now. Time to add the first quart ever. Also got my State Farm bill - bastards dropped the car and now charging me $1,700/year

Ha - yeah, I have 3 kids so ... while they still like to go for a ride, I can do it. Otherwise, I’d have a roll bar and a good seat installed and drive the snot out of it on track. What I discovered is that, already having a race car, I’d rather track the race car. The GT350 just makes...

Quick few tips on the seat install. I got a kit months ago from Kohr but didn’t get around to the install until today. It took 2.5 hours and 2 IPA’s including googling misc photos since the directions are weak and I’m not that great of a mechanic. Carefully pulled the panels and did not pull...

I just checked my oil after a track event and 1800 miles of driving from new. Dipstick says it’s time to add a quart. Just a data point. I also have the frpp oil separators and there is no significant oil accumulated fwiw. No other issues on this 2017 GT350R fwiw.

Of course, founder of DSC.

What do you mean? Who is Mike Levitas? The settings prescribed are no good if you are actually driving the car on track.

Epiphany- amazing posts!

Exactly. And It would give me reason enough not trust anything they recommended or sold. It’s like Mustang track 101!

What a sh*tshow this thread is! Somebody cries about their bumper gap and will never own a Ford again lol. I’ll tell you what, I’ve owed “one of one” GT3’s, Ford GT’s, you name it. They are all junk! Never been happier than with a GT350R. Shopping kart dent or kids puke in it? No big deal. On...

Over tens of thousands of square feet of hangar, I have had great results with the nastiest two part epoxy you can find. Wear a respirator, no big deal. My last garage floor I did mysel and it was fantastic but takes acid etching of new concrete at the very least. If you do it right, it works...

Harold, what do you mean by “negatively impacting steering?” Why can’t you save the outer? Does the inner feel relieved if the outer is sacrificed?
