I’m feeling really smug about my GR287 right now… These cars are incredible. I wouldn’t trade it for much, especially not in its price range… but that appears to be correcting! 😁

Very impressive! Do you have any aero mods? What’s how’s the stability at speed? Do you have a special alignment? Share more!

I do prefer the look of the Shelby over the Mach 1... Both great options though.

I recently went on a drive with a friend who works at a Porsche shop. The group was all Euros with several high-end Porsches. At the end of the drive, my car was getting showered with compliments. They had some of the Carbon Revolution wheels in the shop and were shocked that my MUSTANG had such...

I took my 9 year old son on lots of different car drives as I was narrowing the search. He loves the Dark Horse and says that he likes it better than my GT350R… My R is more of an enthusiast spec, whereas I can see the screens being a draw for the younger generation. Huge turnoff for me though…...

Hi, this is a little strange, but my 2016 gt350r sometimes won’t rev when I’m trying to blip for downshifting. I’m pushing in the clutch but it’s not revving, even though I’m blipping the throttle. Is there a clutch safety switch that isn’t allowing the blip because I’m partially engaged or...

What was the price difference between your Porsche and gt350? I was looking for a Porsche before I settled on my GT350R. Such a better value…

My primary sports car will never have an auto. DCT, DSG... etc. are great transmissions. The zf8 in my Audi Q7 is also a very good auto transmission... but nothing replaces the engagement and enjoyment that is provided by a quality manual trans. The Tremec 3160 is a great trans imo.

What color is that (from your avatar)? I can't tell from the pic but it looks interesting.

Avalanche grey is soooo nice. I look forward to seeing it!

I bought my 2016 in January with 2,804 miles. As part of the purchase, I had the dealership install a new battery, as it was still on the original. It was a little weak when I first started it, but that’s somewhat to be expected. The dealership had it for a few months.

I saw a HEP R with exposed carbon rims this weekend. The carbon looks incredible by itself… but I must say that I actually prefer the looks of the black accents on the car, and I think it all looks best matching as black. I do love the carbon track pack on the GT500s, but the black looks best on...

What a weekend! Saturday was a cruise and then racing go-carts at the Ridge Motorsports park in Shelton, WA (I got 3rd in the carts, NBD… 😁). At lunch, I got to spend some time with the president of Shelby. I was surprised to learn that trucks are 75% of their business now! Today was an all Ford...

What color is the R? Seems like a reasonable premium to me…
