Can the GT350 be used as a daily driver? Yes! Would I want to use it as a daily driver, if I had other options. No. It is Too Much of everything, Too Much fun, to much power, too much fanfare. If my commute was on minimally traveled back twisty back roads for about a 30 minute commute, I...

Without getting stranded I ran my GT350 down to about 10 miles left til empty. I was getting about 20 miles per gallon at the time and the car topped up with almost exactly 15 gallons. With a spec of 16 gallons total. This would leave about 1/2 gallon if I ran her all the way down to Zero...

With an oil change at 1,500 miles and about 7,000 miles on the odo, it seems like my car is using about 1 quart every 3,000 miles. I guess this is about normal relative to others?

So you are saying Ford had limited choices, and chose durability over a proper gear ratio?

Parked it at my buddy's house in Durango, and went to the Telluride music festival. Didn't see any other GT350's on the way there or back. For me 6th only starts feeling good at around 90-100mph. In my opinion it is way too tall. If it had the same spacing as the other gears revs would only...

I just got back from a 1,550 mile round trip to Telluride, CO and back, I got about 20.6 miles per gallon (per the computer), which is quite good since 80-100 was the cruising speed, and it might have been at the higher end of that range on average. But this 6th gear just Sucks Ass! It is WAY...

Great sound, I totally agree. While the cracks and burbles are fun, they create just a little to much drama. For this reason I wouldn't want to remove the resonators from the stock exhaust. But the end result of your project is just about perfect.

50 Deep, Sorry for the change of heart, but you can take me off the list. Track Attack showed me that I don't need any performance enhancing products for the car. Just more Moxie and Skill. Good luck to those who make the upgrade.

Yes there is a photographer that takes pictures the whole day and you get a usb stick of them. However you may want to take your own as well. Yes, Don't know what they might be. Yes, you will be able to leave all of your stuff in a locked classroom before you head out to the track and nobody...

Just got back from the April 26-27th Track Attack school. I added my wife based upon my friend saying his wife had a blast. He was right. After the class, my wife left her badge/name tag on when we went out. To everybody that would listen she said "You know what I did today?" It was good to see...

My recommendation. Sign up for Track Attack. Then after your ride along on the Hot Laps with your instructor, if you feel you need more power, go for it. But in my opinion. This car needs nothing, other than a very competent pilot at the wheel, unless you are looking for a drag car. The extra...

At 1,500 miles I changed the oil with 10qts of oil. At this point is the oil level supposed to be at the top???? At 2,400 I added 3/4 of a quart before heading from Long Beach, CA to Salt Lake Ut for the Track Attack. This raised the oil level to the top of the hash marks. At the end of the...

Ahh........ You can't be too careful? But really..... our cars are good for sustained 100+ traveling (Not that I would do that :gossip:). Hauling / carrying? - Nothing, just want to keep my license and good driving record.

I just saw the thread regarding the alcantara covered center console with cup elimination, and one of the posters runs a police scanner. I just downloaded the 5-0 Police Scanner app and was playing around with it, and am trying to determine it's value. Do others on this forum use a police...

THIS!!! ^^^^^^^ While only anecdotal, The SoCal Long Beach dealer close to me held on to 2 2016's for the last year, and only just let go of one. Where does the Shelby in a dealership always sit? Right in the middle of the showroom. With interest rates near zero, holding costs are...

Doesn't Ford have a buy 9 get your 10th Car Free program!

BINGO! For the last year, I watched my local dealer, Worthington Ford in SoCal's Long Beach market hold on to 2 - 2016 with a 20k ADM. They finally just sold one of them. The other is still on the showroom floor. If a supposedly "Hot" car sits on the showroom floor for well into the next...

Good questions to start with. A big factor for me was "Ticketable Color". I drive very quickly quite often and don't want to be obvious. So NO STRIPES and a Low Key Color was critical for me. I love blue and white cars, and really loved both White/blue, Blue/White combos. Especially the White...

Going 4/26 - 27, just one day but signed up the wife. I don't see anybody else signed up for that day however. I am so excited to explore the limits of this car, while not thrashing my vehicle. Plus I will drive from Long Beach to Utah, back roads haulin ass, radar detector, escort live, and...
