Hi Tony. Sorry to hear about the engine. I'll be looking forward to seeing you at the track soon. Remember though... no track driving until the odometer says 50 miles.
I enjoy them both. They are very different and need to be driven accordingly which keeps them both fun. The GT350 is very well balanced and slides very nicely... I love that. The GT3 explodes out of corners and is an animal... what a hoot. If I could only have one it would probably be the GT3...
The first video is of a recent session at Motorsports Ranch Cresson. The car is a 2017 non-R GT350 that I bought right at 2 years ago. It has18,000 total miles on it, 2,400 of which are on tracks including MSR Cresson, Eagles Canyon and COTA. It's needed both rear bearing carriers replaced but...
My GT350 is my "beater" car. I drive the crap out of it and then drive it to the track and beat on it some more. It even sits outside while the other cars enjoy temperature controlled garages. I've never been really impressed with the steering but it's now as good as it's ever been with the...
The Vorshlag seem to be made pretty stout. The bearing and carrier look well up to the task and are much nicer than much of the competition. That's why I chose them. Wether that difference is worth the extra price is a good question. Ford Performance sets up their cars with one costing half as...
I have a '17 GT350 that I track occasionally at MSRC. It does not allow for camber adjustment in stock form... and it needs it. Mine came fixed with -1.1 deg on the RF and -1.3 deg on the LF and the tires wore miserably on the outside edge. I had Vorshlag camber plates installed and the camber...
And for the vast majority of owners, those settings will be just fine. My cars spend a lot of time on track, actually more than on the street. Temp probes during just one session show they will not suffice.
I realize that... and Porsche does the same. However, my 991 GT3 track car has -2.8 front and -2.6 rear, and needs a tad more. -2.00 is considered a good street / track medium by most people. The people I've spoken to who seem to have knowledge tracking Mustangs agree. If it turns out to be too...
Not to hijack but can I add the question... Has anybody used camber (eccentric), bolts and which ones?
I just checked the alignment from the factory and both sides were maxed out, with the front left at -1.28 and right at -1.06. I'd like to run -2 as a street / track compromise.
I'm 64 but I always seem to act like I'm 16 in this car... not on purpose, it just happens. I'm not anything like it in my other cars... in them it's more like I'm 18 or 20.
McLaren 650S... I really enjoy the Shelby, especially on the street, but the McLaren is a completely different experience, especially on the track. It would be extremely disappointing if it wasn't considering the price difference.
