Not selling my car anymore for whatever price is listed.

This baby is gonna stay here until my Z06 shows up and is gonna pay for it.

The HP car has solid roll/sway bar in replacement of hollow one on non-HP car, shocks, springs & ride height difference along with a Magnaride tune difference. I found the upgraded spec with torsen 3.73 has a more solid grip level but I did increase horsepower/torque significantly with a whipple, headers and tune so that does alter outcomes significantly. Diff ratio change useful for track not road per se, torsen useful for road when you press the load pedal on highway as gone are the clutchpack releases of the GT spec diff fitted to export cars.

great comments. so many folks think a HP car is purely cosmetic.

it likely won't, although the cars are close enough that take two random owners and put them on the track, the better driver is going to win. the 350R is obviously faster and should be.

now let us get back to enjoying the glory of having a better lap time at VIR

it has stickers, red emblems and some hood venting stickers are worth half a second.
I guess putting TrackVents on a M1 hood the giant penis sticker would help visually mask the alteration?

hey, you ok bro?

I think so?

I was getting at the only remaining difference (aside from the low-torque engine) was hood venting between the 2 cars. When you install TrackVents racelouvers the surgery is very obvious. Was wondering if the central sticker might help.

Are you sure the shocks and springs are different between a HP and none HP car, the different Magneride tuning is a known.

He/she has been like this all year last year. Careful to engage

it helps with the drivers mindset. reminds us to always follow the little head on track, don't listen to the big one thats telling you to slow down into the corners

Can confirm the Mach 1 has surprised plenty of people at the local track days.

Do we know what the actual differences are between the springs?
