Mustang Shelby FP350S Unveiled.

[btown93]

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.

Did you get a chance to find out what crank that car has?

Springs. Lowering or stock ride height?

Lowering.

Long story short, conventional crank. NOT fpc.

Super disappointed in no Trackey, though I imagine it might have only been good for 93+ octane :(

We need to get Cobb to do a tune and offer an Accessport for us

Very interesting. Like you that leaves the questions on shock calibration.

Was it ever alive or just a twinkle in someone's eye?

Great on-the-ground reporting! Kudos.

I'm shot from walking. I'll have more to share when I have the opportunity. The show was candyland for an enthusiast.

Phone is near dead so the only one I could upload before a recharge is this one.



More when I can.

Yes, great reporting. Nice to get timely info. Thanks much.

They need to fix the typo and change forgeline GS1R to GA1R

Man, I can't believe you would succumb to posting a poor quality cell phone pic. Very disappointing ;)

They are GS1R's on both the GT4 and FP350S. Look closely....the difference is subtle. Side by side however the difference is obvious. The wheel lip section is different as well as the chamfered spokes between the two wheels. See post #52

GA1R

GS1R

I have the GA1R.
I see the difference. Thanks.
The GS1R can be up to one pound lighter than the GA1R it says on their site.
Dammit now I'll have to sell my GA1R open lugs !

I have the GA1R open lug cap wheels in R spec in production now as well.

I am assuming they are talking about this wheel not the open lug since their site says the "standard GA1R". It would seem to me that the GA1R open lug is lighter (like ounces) with the extra chamfering than the GS1R. The GS1R is a little more beefy than the GA1R open lug which makes sense for serious competition.

You should check out the HRE R101 their 19x11 is about 18lbs. They are about 2k more than the forgelines
