paddle shifters in exotics are DCT, but paddle shifters in Detroit iron have yet to be DCT.

your not, and I didn't claim you could. I was telling opensesame that the cars he referenced weren't autos in the detroit since but DCT's.

You are confusing DCT's with automatics. For all practical purposes DCT's are automatic, but not in form. They are computer controlled clutched transmissions. Automatics with paddles that are as ford currently produces, as with all American auto manufacturers currently, are torque converter...

Simple, they don't. They have DCT, which is effectively a computer clutched/controlled manual transmission.

You are thinking with a "straight line performance" mentality. In that case yes an auto would be faster. But this car is not and was never intended for straight line performance, so no an auto would not be faster around a circuit.

Never mind he changed the title

11's are perfect for 295's. I daily drive with 275's up front and have never had any wondering problems. And on track days weekends I drive to the track, sometimes 100's on miles, on 285's up front and have never had wondering issues. Maybe it is because I live in Texas, don't know. I think...

Yes, bigger is still always better for these heavy cars. 295's is most likely the biggest you'll be able to get with a squared setup. 18x11 front and rear.

I'm an active member on s197forum in the corner carving section and there isn't one single solitary member in that subforum that uses air suspension and tracks or autocrosses their car. Air is for hard parkers, any evidence to the contrary is pure propaganda generated by the companies that...

If you copy and paste the vin make sure you don't have any spaces before or aft. Their website isn't smart enough to trim it and will give you that message. I've gotten that message a few times and always make sure there isn't a preceding space or aft space and try again. It usually does the...

Video of lap times with Terry's commentary is in the Dusold Design's build thread. For those that might be interested.

Not really, they have some serious potential. So no.

without a doubt 5.0/GT's hold their value better. And there is the perception that rolling in anything other than a GT is being a wannabe. Affordability doesn't really enter the mind when I see rolling in a V6 stang, all I think is lame. sorry, just my gut reaction.

What is your purpose for the car? A track day car? To me your options are two entirely different vehicles. With different purposes. The GT pp with twins is a straight line racer type of car and the gt350 is a track day car. Because twin turbo track day car isn't practical without alot of...

According to a user here, that by all appearances was/is in the know. It is a coyote powered GT350 test mule, where was the other was a Voodoo powered GT350.

This is a GT350, not a car made for Granny. I test drove a GT PP a little over a week ago and thought the damn clutch was entirely to soft/easy. I daily drive my 2012 5.0 6spd with a Stage 3 clutch in stop and go traffic for an hour to and from work. I'm 48 and my leg is fine. I don't get...

Anybody else disappointed that the pics and video are CG. I want some real pics, dangit.

Top? damn, I'm blind to it. It looks too wide to be the extractor behind the front wheel. Maybe the light is playing tricks on me.

I can't discern what/where this is on the car?

Torsion diffs will make a little noise at first. Might want to check fluid level, just in case. A torsion is not like a trac-lok it WILL feel different and make the car rotate better, especially at speed. At lower speeds it will behave kinda like you've noticed, you can feel/hear the tire...
