I'm going with the BMWCCA.

I was all over the place so I can't make any conclusive statements about the handling 😅 I am planning to get the adjustable strut tower mounts at some point. No more front plate

Thanks for the affirmation. I'll do that. My last track day was in my wife's 320i with Continental summer tires that I must have heat cycled into oblivion. They were like driving on butter by the end of the weekend. Come to think of it, I think she's still driving around the street on those...

My mistake - I assumed the R brakes would be used.

Somewhat off topic but since all you track tire geeks are now subscribed to this thread - I just discovered the GT350 I recently bought has Michelin PS4S on the front and Nitto NT555 G2 tires on the rear. I'm going to Thunderhill this weekend - should I scramble to get Michelin PSS (or PS4S with...

And if you buy a used R brake kit, it will be used, and there's no guarantee you'll have significant life remaining on the pads and rotors you received.

Let me know if you want to go for a canyon drive together sometime! I went to the SCCA autocross at Crows Landing.

Thanks! I reached out to him.

Are there any particularly good Ford Performance / GT350 / GT500 independent mechanics in the SF Bay Area? I am looking for a reputable shop for non-warranty work / preventative maintenance (oil, brakes, etc.). I don't want to DIY while this car is under warranty given what people say about the...

Endcapped this first weekend with some autocross! Now time to put the car away until next weekend at Thunderhill. I wasn't the only GT350 there...

I'm interested but that price is a bit rich for my blood. Reach out in the future if you have more flexibility.

After meeting up with @ralphy1798 to buy his Xingineering auto blip module, I took the new car on a second epic Bay Area drive today: Mines Rd to Lick Observatory today. A Bay Area roads guide on Rennlist says "many people rave about this road" - you can count me as one of those people. Wow! A...

What the f is going on here? @Tomster why are you shitting on a thread that has nothing to do with you? Does this site have any moderators?

Just took it down Skyline Blvd in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Wow. Incredible grip. I'm also lucky the sheriff didn't track me by sound.

I could see a 718 GT4 6MT being my next fun car. It may seem silly but I struggled to get my head around using the 981 GT4 for any daily driving given the archaic PCM 3.1 headunit, lack of CarPlay, lack of backup camera or parking sensors, etc. I know, it's a street-legal race car, but I'd still...

I just popped down to Monterey to do back-to-back test drives of a GT4 at Porsche Monterey and a GT350 at Gold Star GMC. When I was at Porsche Monterey this GT350R was there - anyone on here?

I think the GT4 wins on prestige, build quality, reliability, interior design and materials quality. There also seems to be a much more robust community of Porsche racers in my area - lots of people to ask for advice, lots of social forums, and lots of great independent mechanics - which is...

Yep, that's the one! As we talked about in the other thread, they came down several thousand on their asking price and it seemed like a fair deal for the current market conditions. Would be happy to meet up sometime. Let me know if you find a good Bay Area mechanic. I saw some people ask the...

I took delivery of my GT350 today. It's a 2019 model in Ford Performance Blue with Electronics Package, Carbon Fiber Interior and Recaros. It has 15K miles but not a single ding, scratch or stain on the body, wheels or interior. This is my first Ford and first non-BMW vehicle in 19 years...

I agree the darker interior is better. I also like that the older car is an R, track prepped, with logs. However, the CF dash (which I like) and the updated engine in the 2019 tip the scale for me.
