No engine swapping here. The serpentine belt for the accessories keeps wearing out and breaking. Looking for feedback on what would generally cause this? Anyone else experience it. Twice in 2,000 miles is extreme in my opinion. Thanks.

Well... old post with an update. Car has broken another belt. Appears that my car breaks them about every 1000 miles. It looks like the belt breaking damaged some electrical wiring and did cosmetic damage to a cooling line. Their must be an pulley alignment issue or something. Anyone have any...

Track day for me about two weekends ago at Sebring. It had just finished pouring so track was a little wet. Had fun hanging with a modified Corvette. Started raining more. Doing a lap in about 2:35. Even though I have AutoBLIP installed, I was doing it manually for experience. I spent nearly 2...

With the changes to next years schedule, let's hope some players return. Looking forward to seeing the Shelby in an endurance race. Already have my RV spot reserved at Daytona for it.

What microphone and sock did you use?

The sound system in the R electronic package is near useless. Hard to hear anything unless cruising around slowly. But I didn't buy this car for the radio (or Sync3) so I'm not really complaining.

Go ahead. If you buy the Auto package it comes with everything including the OBD-II adapter. Found it for cheaper on Amazon.

The Garmin Virb-xe makes is super easy. Garmin is trying to give GoPro a run for their money. They have tons of overlay options since the Garmin has data points it is gathering and it is also gathering the car's data via a OBD-II wireless adapter.

Acceleration off corners. The car felt good, then I would feel the power kick back and traction light come on. I think it was too conservative for being in track mode. The video I provided was my first session where I was a little reserved. Camera died before I was able to do my second...

I just finished by first track day as well. The car is so easy to drive on a track. It does make it easy to go fast without much skill. I used the track mode. I found that traction control still intervened to many times:rant:. I wasn't ready to turn it off entirely though. Perhaps next...

agreed. I saw the long posts and just kept scrolling..... :cheers:

Looking at the photos, they took a lot of the R gauges and switches and can them to the non-R. Appears, 2017 will be the year model to purchase if you like options....

Their is a way to protect them. DON'T LET YOUR KIDS RIDE IN IT! :lol:. j/k. I take my kids too, but I'm not OCD (at least in my mind :crazy:) about them. Its a car after all.... :cheers:

My wife calls the car a 350 GT-R :frusty:. She actually was about to buy me a GT-R hat one day till I corrected her that a GT-R is a whole different animal.... :doh: We laugh about it though (secretly I want to kill her. :crazy:)

I think their is a lot of confusion on the calibration of the system as well. The TSB article says to perform the calibration with the wheels off the ground. The actual calibration software says for the vehicle to be on level ground. I was watching as my dealer was about to calibrate and...

Go read my original post. I stated that both belts were off and cooling drained. I left it to you all to decide what to think. Nothing different, other than I included the story. I could have been on a Sunday drive (would that have changed anyone's thoughts?). I just prefer to be safe, in case...

Update: So, I was at a local small town track for my first track event with the R. Packed everything for what was to be an all day track event. Lucky for me, only a handful of people showed up and 6 of us had the track all to ourselves with no run groups or what not for the next 7 hours. The...

Have to remember that Ford engineers have to work within a budget set by Ford leadership. The basis for the GT350 was a Mustang. They engineered what systems they could afford without reinventing the whole car. They don't necessarily put in the best components, but rather the best components...

Quick update - Took forever to find a competent towing company that could load the car:frusty:. Got the car to the dealership right before closing. They looked at it very briefly and started it up. The engine sounds fine:clap2:. They will investigate where the coolant is leaking from and...
