BMW at HPDE today. Notice the dry sweep to clean up the sputum, and the long line of cars not enjoying their laps as a result.

Obviously not as bright as you to walk away when you did as I hung in there for some 14 pages of Ol' Dave leaning towards the M2 and then back to a toss-up between the two vehicles amongst many other interesting comments.

Iā€™ll tell you all what. Canā€™t deny BMW makes some awesome vehicles, I canā€™t deny I wouldnā€™t own one again, and canā€™t deny that if In my lifetime I could ever do it, Iā€™d get that McLaren.. :wink: I :beer: wonder how much an oil change costs on that baby. Glad
I like my Mustang.
McLarenā€™s are sharp. And most of the newer ones are supposed to be pretty reliable as far as supercars go. I wouldnā€™t say no to one if the opportunity presented itself and I had the cash for it.

Cool picture and loved those Triple Yellow R's back in the day and obviously GR029 was a very early build.

Being that this R model was ordered with the Electronics Package option, it was 1 of only 20 Triple Yellow examples with that option for the 2016 MY and I would suggest that GR029 was probably the very first Triple Yellow R model built at the FRAP in 2015 for the first regular production model year namely 2016.

I believe that you had a 2016 Shadow Black R model and I had a 2016 R Base model as well therefore we got to know these units pretty well!

Attached is the very first Pilot Production GT350R produced and it was also a 2016 model that was ordered by FR in Absolute Black with Black OTT stripes.

Chassis number was "PP001" and was built in April 2015 which was some ~5 months prior to GR029 being assembled.

BTW, the Absolute Black exterior color (G1) never stuck and was changed to Shadow Black just prior to the 2015 R model being built in early July 2015.

GR029 was a Media Car with a tag #. The owner didn't realize it when I spoke with him at the track today. He didn't seem to be interested to hear about it's history. Obviously not obsessed with Rs like we are. He was just trying not to crash it.

Buy hey, this isn't about me, or Mr GR029 or even you PP001. This is Dave's funeral party.

RIP Dave. šŸ™šŸ»

On second thought... F Dave.

Breaking news: After all these years, we finally have a face to put to the name. I never pegged @PP0001 for the bearded tattoo type.

No I get it ..your an unexperienced driver that thinks your silly roll races represent the cars speed over experienced drivers .. I have drag raced for over 15 years so I know you donā€™t know anything
You are clearly an internet warrior! You are butthurt that the M2 makes more power(which is what a roll race shows as it eliminates the launch) and saying it doesn't shows your ignorance. Quoting magazines. HAHAHA The Dodge redeye I believe the mags said mid 9's stock, yet nobody was able to reproduce. Unexperienced ? You know nothing of me. You are just a fanboy who got butthurt. Good day pathetic one.
