This! Outstanding.I think I'm having my 13th and 14th sets of tires mounted tomorrow for this 2016 GT.
I really need to build a Daytona with a solid axle to slide around the race track. The Miata is fun, but I really need a V8 soundtrack and virtually no grip.Nothing quite like it on a warm summer evening - here's the view from behind the wheel of my Factory Five.
If you want one built...let me know.....check us out at legacy motorsports llc. We're in plainfield Indiana.I really need to build a Daytona with a solid axle to slide around the race track. The Miata is fun, but I really need a V8 soundtrack and virtually no grip.
If the 19 is 98% of the R the previous generation was 95%. Hard to use percentages when comparing the 2. Track Times at VIR vs R 15-18 -4 seconds. 19/20 -2 seconds. Thats with a pro driver of courseThe "practical and realistic" answer for the majority of readers is that an R car is very nice, keeping in mind that a 2019/20 GT350 is 95%++ (actually more like 98%, but let's try and keep everyone happy) of an R. Plus the usage application of each model is "theoretically" different.
Plus, one of the aforementioned price statements of a new GT3 at $150K is way off the mark - try $200K. Like twice that of an R. An earlier post that a comparably priced car to the R is a C7 Z06 Corvette is correct. That and an R are the best bang for the buck choices around. As an owner of a '19 GT350 and a C7 Z06 I can attest that they are great cars,
Both cars with brand new cup 2s?If the 19 is 98% of the R the previous generation was 95%. Hard to use percentages when comparing the 2. Track Times at VIR vs R 15-18 -4 seconds. 19/20 -2 seconds. Thats with a pro driver of course
Wow. This describes exactly where I am right now. My R-spec Cup2’s are slower and less confidence inspiring than the SC3’s with 2X the track miles and heat cycles. I know I can get another weekend out of the Cup2’s but I just don’t want to. For me it’s a risk/reward fail.agreed on the cup2's losing time fast... day one is awesome, day two is like sc3 ish, and day three is worse than supersports that arent' that old haha
I'm thrifty/cheap and i had no desire to keep driving on the R spec cup 2's after about half way thru day 3 on them even though they had meat left to kill... the lack of grip was just no fun.
You speak for all GT350 owners?....and in come the 350 owners who think this is their queue to make themselves feel good about their cars.
