Bossing's GT350 journey....

[kairojya]

Now this is pure luck I swear!

The GM thought the stock (Cup2) tires were bald and informed Ford. So they got approval and ordered a brand new set.... and when it arrived this morning they said "it looks exactly like the ones mounted!". Lol.... so they gave to me for free because FoMoCo paid for it. Yay! :lol:

:lol: omg that's brilliant

Yeah hilarious!

I was also in shock when they first told me over the phone yesterday but they promised they are strict about who drives the GT350 cars at the dealership and want to be transparent so they think the "bald tires" must've happened at the plant or during transport. They said they couldn't find any signs of rubber debris or burnout marks or any damage underneath so they informed Ford anyway about the "tires" ... got the approval just in case.

My theory is since I told them not to touch anything on the car and do not wash it etc.... so obviously the car was dusty/dirty.... which turned out to be a blessing in disguise! No complaints here! :lol:

ADM payback? :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Bossing]

Yeah! Exactly... 5k over, can't complain for sure!

Arrested development....

It's weird that you can't get R stripes on the RR R.... but it still looks good even w/o it.

Damn that is sexy. A flat black roof is all that needs.

Yeah I was thinking of a black vinyl wrap on the roof or.... blacked out tint. My she devil.

Now you got 3 red cars eh? I guess you can't say to your pals, "hop in the red one" w/out garnering some confusion. So what sleeps in the garage and what stay's outside these days?

Congrats,

PS, as you'll soon find out COLD STARTS in the R model are EPIC and scary to innocent bystanders. I swear I get a jump every time.

Grats man. Good steal on the tires!

 

[Bossing]

I have offsite storage for toys... so they rotate from dwelling to dwelling. Don't forget I also have a FE EvoX... ;)

And yeah the cold starts are epic! Wow on the R.... louder than the non-R. This car is truly worth more than its msrp... really IMHO.

Right now I'm prioritizing on just the R and .2 GT3 soon... so the others are expendable.

They blow shit out the exhaust about 10 feet upon start up. If your anywhere close to a wall, may want to pin up some cardboard so that you don't need to clean it off.
Shit goes everywhere. Thinking about getting some depends for it.

 

[Bossing]

Oh this is not good.... this will be a problem. Because it'll be more lack of sleep due to the anticipation!

My .2 spec & order update.... Graphite Blue Metallic.
