Mustang Shelby FP350S Unveiled.

[Voodooo]

I take it you're not at PRI and didn't go to SEMA to see them in person?

I asked how many you seen in person? I'll agree Watson builds the cages for both cars but only one exist. That's why I asked how many you seen.

I have the boring semi gloss black. Just like stock. When I wear out these psc2 tires I'm going to change the color to either gun metal, Titanium or graphite. My car is magnetic. I thought about bronze but I can't bring myself to do that.

IMO a Deep Bronze looks amazing on Magnetic :cheers: I even built on that way on Horizon 3 with my son because he likes the Magnetic.

Man, you like to argue, even though my first post agreed with you and just added more info. I've seen both. Have you? Call your Watson friends.

Take it offline.....or put each other on "ignore".........thank you.

I wonder if the Mach 1 will be a watered down version of this.

I run 18" Finspeed's on my 2016 Viper ACR Extreme

Front rotors are smaller, much smaller on the Z06. Not even going to bother looking up the Viper listed. SMH

11x19 forgeline GA1R open lugs. Same as what's on this car and the GT4 except 19"

Had me fooled too....both sets of wheels are Forgeline GS1R's the difference is very subtle.

The Z06 has 15.5" rotors with the Z07 package, which most will get if they're intending on actually tracking the car. Which is same size as our front rotors. I'm assuming you're referring to the Z51 or Grand Sport maybe? They come with significantly smaller rotors, even though they still stop incredibly well.

I was referring to the Z06 without the Z07 package. I did not initially read the link provided and the vette there does have the Z07 package. There is obviously a difference in the size of the calipers if they are fitted with 18's. As it is there is less than 1/2" of clearance between the wheel and caliper on the 350.

The rotor size may be the same, but the calipers clearly have packaging differences. Are the Z07's monoblocks? Are they radially mounted? I think GM optimized caliper size, whereas Ford had different concerns. I wish I had the money to throw around trying different options, but I don't, so until I see photos of 18" wheels on a GT350, I'm sticking with that there aren't any that do.

 

[xXANCHORMONXx]

I have a set of 19" forged wheels that will not clear the front brakes. The barrel won't clear the damn caliper. Which is why I have the AP BBK on order for my car as pictured on the car in this thread

Take a look at fitment pics on guys with 18" forgelines on their GTPP. It's tight. Now add 3/8" of an inch lol

 

[taylor.crandall1]

Oem brakes are 15.5" discs, some 19s can't even clear the oem brakes.

All the cars in the links are 15.5" discs.

Zitrosounds, even the link you posted states that the rotors are 15.5" w/ the Z07 package. The C6 ZR1 has 15.5" rotors and on my Viper ACR with 15.5" rotors I am running an 18".

I am just trying to help out guys.

Thanks for the help, but nobody has found any to actually fit. It's less about the rotor size and more about the caliper size. The monoblock calipers on the 350 are very big.

I'm here at PRI now and had a lengthy conversation with Bruce Smith of Ford Racing. The S is his baby. In general, this car is being done at Watson. Production versions could be done at Ford, Watson, or Multimatic as that hasn't been decided yet.

In other news, it looks like the Trackey is dead. A GT350-specific spring is almost done and WILL be happening. Tried digging a little into calibration questions and may get somewhere when I get back home.

Springs. Lowering or stock ride height?
