The 350R and CFTP Cup2s are awesome/grippy tires but it does come at a price. The 3 secs delta is not surprising, as across platforms the CUP2s exhibit similar heat cycling deterioration (although on the mustangs it seems to happen faster).
I wonder how R888Rs would hold up compared to the cup2s
How is it misleading? It clearly states in the title GT350R, not a Mustang GT4. As for the rest of your post, do you track your car? Who gives a shit how it drives on the street if its purpose is to be a track car.Your title is misleading. I though this was a comparison with a Mustang GT4 race car. Your 350R isnāt a Multimatic built race car. That cars engine has a CPC not a FPC. They tried the FPC for one year and the vibration issues in the FPC engine and components were to expensive for the private teams to put up with. This is your idea of a so called race car. So you come on a GT500 forum and praise the 350R. What would you expect would happen with the responses. I owned both and traded in the R for a GT500. No comparison on the street where I spend 90% of my time. The 350R has no low end grunt itās dead under 4000 rpm. No body home under 4000 rpm. Some people like the sound of the R. Itās obnoxious as hell without the resonators. Just another loud mustang on the street. Lets see how the longevity is on the 350 engine. Iād take the GT 500 any day over the low on power Shelby 350. Put Randy Pobst in those two cars and then come back and post it. The Porsche GT3 RS with him driving was a virtue tie with the track pack GT500. No way could a 350R keep pace with that Porsche.
Because the early Multimatic race cars were called GT 350R. This isnāt one. Because most people will drive these on the street. They do give a crap. Do you really think all 30,000 GT 350 owners track their cars ? Have you owned a 350R or base or a GT500 ? Just curious
thanks loads.
Whatever you say. Dr Phil.
no dog in this fight, fun thread to read for sure...but I am DDāing a 350r, and absolutely love it. I have put just a hair over 5,000 miles on her since Halloween
It was called the GTR350R-C, not the GT350R. It is so obscure that I am sure no one is confusing it with OP's car. Do you even track your car? Do you time yourself on the road course?Because the early Multimatic race cars were called GT 350R. This isnāt one. Because most people will drive these on the street. They do give a crap.

This forum is starting to deteriorate and Iām moving on.
