I cant find the link to that comparison video.It's even better than that... The blonde and the redhead sleep in the same room together and never get jealous, or complain about each other.
Heard the very outside compound on the OEM 4S is different than majority depth.I was surprised how well the base GT500 w/4S tires performed on track. I was hardly trying and easily cutting lap times better than my GT350TP with Cup2ās. Canāt wait to wear these out and buy some Cup2ās. Hereās my G readings for that day:
And those brakes! I never even got into ABS. Wasnāt trying very hard as this was my first event in this car and the ambients were about 100* most of time.
"Denial functions to protect the ego from things with which the individual cannot cope.
In many cases, there might be overwhelming evidence that something is true, yet the person will continue to deny its existence or truth because it is too uncomfortable to face.
Denial can involve a flat out rejection of the existence of a fact or reality. In other cases, it might involve admitting that something is true, but minimizing its importance. Sometimes people will accept reality and the seriousness of the fact, but they will blame other outside forces."
Said mathematically, GT500>GT350.
Wait what? I went to this forum because I saw a thread about GT500 vs R and watched the video. I'm not even sure I noticed that it was in the GT500 section until now. I guess I'll take more care to stay out of here from now on if me saying I like the car I bought because I liked it is too hot a take in the wrong part of town lol. Maybe I wasn't expressing myself well enough: there's room enough for both cars. There's no way I couldn't have respect for the GT500, a factory 10 second car that is a solid daily driver and also beats the GT350R around the track is an incredible thing. I have nothing against it. It just means it was good product planning on Ford's part, they made a faster car with tech that doesn't appeal to me, so everyone can be happy, including us losers with objectively inferior cars apparently. That's all I was trying to say. If you find that an affront to you or the GT500 that I don't automatically regret my purchase...seems oddly sensitive to me....and he doubles down. The point was - generally considered tacky to go to a forum for a car that you don't own and talk about the great decision you made on your own car. At least you got a good color combo - I could be biased though.
Just about fell off my chair reading that, Tob! VERY witty. :-)Mathematics and emotions are not congruent.
As Tob stated, some of those here āhadā a GT350. In my case, I still āhaveā mine. Both the GT350 and GT500 are awesome cars on their own and are a blast to drive. Thatās why I kept both.Many of us had GT350's so we're aware of how good it is. I loved mine but wanted more, hence the GT500. It delivers on all counts in my book.
I would suggest that even if the Base GT500 came with Cup 2 tires that still would not have been enough to sway many R model owners over to the GT500 side of the fence.Ford was smart to only allow a 4S tire on the Base car. Looks like it kept some R model owners very happy.

Please. Not the victim thing. Did I say anything about loser or inferior car? I had your exact spec...nevermind...Wait what?

I think its been said, but most of the guys who had 350s are buying and raving about the 500s.Wait what? I went to this forum because I saw a thread about GT500 vs R and watched the video.

I owned a 2020 GT500 not long ago and so I feel like I can comment to share my thoughts on it. I have no regrets purchasing the car but just wasnāt the car for me. Having never owned a GT350R I canāt personally share my thoughts on that car yet though I have one on order. Though that was the car I was originally purchasing before the 500. Regardless in this 500 forum if you make any negative comment towards the 500 then people seem to be sensitive like millennials even though they are much older. Just my two cents.Please. Not the victim thing. Did I say anything about loser or inferior car? I had your exact spec...nevermind...
