This looks a lot better than the previous renderings. Looks like the fender vents will be more angular and narrow and hopefully bumper won't be black. 15-17 headlights make this look good. New rear ones not so much.

No way I'd want to drive up to 3 hours to a track in 100 degree heat in the middle of summer without A/C. I want to be as well-rested as I can be. Life is too short to skimp on the luxuries. If turning the car into a dedicated track monster that is trailered, would be different story.

With laterals such as the Ferrari 458, 911GT3, Cayman GT4, GTR and the M4 GTS, the R has outstanding relative and absolute value even with ADM! Absolutely would do it again.

I see what you're saying. So what would be the benefit of the beehive shape? to allow for more travel?

I don't believe you are correct. [ame] As a beehive spring is compressed, the lower rate section progressively goes solid, stacking the coils one atop the next, effectively locking out their contribution to spring rate. Thus the rate varies with the remaining number of non-locked coils (the...

The ones where the ends of the spring (the "loops") are different diameter then in the middle part (making it look like a beehive.this terminology is used in valve springs as well). Every other application I've seen, "beehive" shaped springs are progressive because the larger loops in the coil...

Aren't the "beehive" springs progressive springs (rather than linear) and is the reason they are like a beehive as spring rate characteristics change with greater weight?

Yes, you are correct. Ford (smartly) is not saying anything about the causes of failures. My 17 suffered a catastrophic failure the first time tracking last year. Ford does not let the dealer do any investigation other than dropping the oil pan to see if there is debris (mine had two broken...

For me it's the opposite. People want to race when I'm my M3, but when I'm driving the R, nobody tries to engage. Maybe because being in the bay area, a Shelby gives off a "tough guy" image that people don't want to mess with?!?!?

HDPE, so long as the car is not modified, is covered.

Been very happy with 3 track days with Ferodo DS2500s, which comes as no surprise as used this aggressive street compound with my M3 that I tracked for years for an all-around solution with minimal work needed. With the GT350, I feel the pad performs even better on the track due to the large...

Would definitely take it do dealer as Epiphany mentioned and would have zero qualms doing so. Very hard to argue that the delete of essentially a sound item would have any impact on the headers, especially when the very same delete exists for the R version and has no causality relation to a...

OEM is fine for a few track days, but for something that can last a while between flushes, hands down the best brake fluid is Endless RF-650. While SRF is a very good brake fluid, it has higher compressibility at higher temperatures, resulting in a squishy feeling on hard track days...some...

Ooo..not digging that front end at all; frankly I had much higher hopes in terms of styling. will be good to see how it comes together with the rest of the car, but color me disappointed.

That's what I found odd too..that the alignment settings are not only the same for the street and the track but the same for the R and non-R. For an R, I'm not sure how much confidence I have that track times would be meaningfully improved with DSC vs not having DSC but having the factory R...

Touchless

No issues with changing the PSC2 tires on CF wheels at an indy performance shop. Just reinforced to be careful as they are CF wheels and the shop was careful.

Yeah when I see that color combo I immediately think 5.0 GT-H (Hertz) but still looks pretty sharp. A GT350/R should have its own distinctive stripe colors/patterns IMO.

Most likely the ad was auto placed and can still remain on the website for a few days even after you pay for the car (as was in my case). Just confirm to double check as others stated.
