Any type of burnouts, drifting/circle burnouts, and autocrossing puts enormous strain on the car's components especially the subframe and differential. In the M3 world, differential bolt snaps in the E46 and E92 M3s would be caused mostly by burnouts and drifting. Even the Nissan GTR has...

Wow..sounds incredible and it was haulin' !

Really puzzled by the hostility towards the article and its contents. I found it to be really interesting and corroborated another article I remember reading by ADVAN/RAYS on how lighter wheels (vs stronger wheels) aren't necessarily faster on a track (which was also backed up by test data/lap...

For the free track day, does it have to be done within one year of purchase (is it enforced or do they let 'slide' ;))

To have any sort of track cred, it's going to need some major cooling modifications beyond slapping on a supercharger. Look at the ZL1 and add another 70+ bhp. Coolers/tubing/fluids will add a lot of weight that a CF hood (GT350 already aluminum) or trunk lid isn't gonna fully offset

Think the curb weight is plausible. When you figure wider bodywork, heavier engine (not just supercharger, but also absence of weight savings in a CPC (compared to FPC), heavier transmission, heavier wheels, heavier brakes, far more coolers, 400 lbs gain vs 3,800 lb GT350 pencils out pretty...

In my case, they didn't pull the ECU or data from it at all. Only the engine got sent back to FP

Seriously, do people not know what effective driving looks like? The ACR while aggressive, knows exactly what he's doing for that track. That was a very fast run group in an organization that tends to run very fast vs other Norcal organizations.

Was there that day, this car/driver was 6-8 seconds faster than the fastest cars in that high advanced run group (and probably has more in it), which actually had some really good/fast drivers in the street cars.

The -1.2 front camber is the same for the DSC equipped GT350 and the GT350R, despite the front spring rate differential which seems strange to me. Also in the stock R vs non-R calibration, FP recommends different track camber settings for the GT350 and the R despite the software calibration...

Haven't seen this on Vorshlag's webpage. Do you have a link? Thx in advance.

Nice! I think the GT350 doesn't give off this d-baggery-type image that more expensive and even exotic cars can give off, which in certain areas have become almost cliche. You know that the GT350 is owned purely by car lovers for what it is: an awesome car at any price point that is meant to...

Have tracked in 90 degree weather and only after you push it, it gets close to 280 degrees. My E90 M3 also exhibited similar temperatures on the same track. For a high-revving 8200+ rpm redline, I think those types of temps are expected. Also driving on twisty roads can get the car quite...

Glad you're ok; the car did its job first and foremost by protecting its occupant.

Didn't do last year...this year I'm in!

Big time...mine gets thumbs up and honks everytime I drive it. And this is in an area with no shortage of far more expensive hardware!

Yeah, not the first time that roll bar installed on a test car (back from 2017) https://blog.americanmuscle.com/2017/11/08/2019-ford-shelby-gt500-spotted-with-a-roll-cage/

Know touch up paint has been discussed for the GT350 wheels, but what about the CF ones? Any recommendations?

Two obvious things: 1) not a FPC 2) doesn't sound nearly as good as a FPC

Not feeling it as the round lights look nothing like the sleek current headlight shape (it worked in the 60s as they were all round) not to mention is obstructing direct airflow into the radiator. Removing the blocking plate will help but every little bit counts with a high compression ratio...
