Good Hagerty article but the writer was slightly misinformed about the 2019 R model having no changes. Granted they were only recalibrated ABS and solid rotors but the first one he didn't mention and the second one he thought was a 2020 R model change.
Unless you want to jack up your GT350 at the side of the road I'm not sure how a PO would be able to see your exhaust well enough to know whether or not the exhaust is stock.
Given the production shutdown is that build date still reasonable? And as for delivery dates once its built that's anyone's guess. Ford's scheduling for delivery of manufactured vehicles seems to be a roll of the dice.
I've also never seen any of the originals running wheels that large with low profile tires. Anyone who has the originals is running original wheel size and tires.
Harry, I think they are fishing for an easy catch.
I put the liability insurance back on the R just before Easter weekend and have had it out several times. It never gets old :like:
The ceramic coating on the front CF wheels was designed to handle the heat caused by a complete failure of the brakes due to excessive heat from braking, exceeding 900 degrees C.

The Ford Performance Racing school is probably going to use the oil of whichever sponsor gives them the most money so I don't know that I would rely entirely upon that as an indication of which oil to use.
Mine was done through the dealer. They topped off the oil, sealed the dipstick, and told me to bring it in after 500 miles. I only had to do that 2X ( 1000 miles ) for them to conclude that it was burning oil. At that point they scoped it, reported to Ford, and advised me that Ford authorized a...
You'd have to ask Ford that question. My 2017 was going through about 1 quart every 300-350 miles after doing the mandated testing. Dealership scoped the engine and determined bad valve seals on at least one cylinder as they could see oil running down the inside of cylinder wall and pooling on...
If it's burning that much oil but is otherwise running fine there is probably a problem with your valve seals. The dealer can easily scope the engine and determine if that is the problem. It doesn't take an engineer from Ford to figure it out. And if the engine needs to be replaced a competent...
Easy check for oil consumption. Either get them to let you take it for a 10 - 15 minute drive or have them drive it for 10 to 15 minutes with you in the car. When starting the drive make sure the chrome tips on the exhaust are clean. When you get back after 10 to 15 minutes if there's any black...
The driver who recommended that size setup for PS4S is Billy Johnson. He was heavily involved with the development and improvement of the GT350 and is probably the most credible source available in that regard.
