IMHO, all S550 GT350s are awesome (even 2016 Tech Packs) but because FoMoCo made so many, only the 37 2015 Rs will be highly (and forever) sought by collectors.
A savvy S550 GT350 investor won't necessarily think a 2015 Track Pack is terrifically important. It's only attribute that warrants interest is "2015". There have been three 2015 Tech Packs for sale on eBay for years....just recently, only one remains for sale there. A 2015 R model up for sale...
I appreciate that you are asking Ford for resolution. You won't get anything unless you ask for it. The ceramic coat breach (groove) is clearly caused by a foreign object between the caliper and inner barrel. The additional coat flaking is, IMHO, coating "failure". I'd call Ford Customer...
Save yourself the hassle with the mods. Bite the bullet. Buy and R (or two). Lately, R prices are up. Fortunate for those who already own. Not so fortunate for those who don't. Look at it this way...R values will continue to rise.
Call Carbon Revolution directly and inquire, if you have concerns. There are two front CF wheels for sale on eBay with photos of different part nums. I see a thick lug collar front wheel with part# HR3V-1A145-MC (looks like an M to me) and an older lug collar front wheel with part#...
Too many folks using an impact tool to tighten the lugs (first generation CF wheel) resulted in lug nut collar cracking. So, CR redesigned a slightly more robust lug collar. The original design is fine. The redesign simply added to the (sufficient, if torqued correctly) engineering safety factor.
Buy the R. I went from a '16 Tech Pack to a '16 R. Lost a ton of $...no regrets. Then, when looking for a Track Pack (DD), I found another used R for the same price. Best cars for the money/wow factor.
I was hoping to add some understanding and spark conversation of the spectacle that is the Carbon Revolution CF 19ā wheel. Not start a debate on how to install them.
Itās a CR 19ā wheel from an R model. Not sure itās from a 2019 R. It matches the wheels on both of my ā16 Rs.
it makes sense that CR would update the lug nut surface if folks were over-tightening. I torque mine to 100 lb-ft.
Other manufacturersā hub surfaces may be the reason CR changed the...
Thanks to the folks at Midwaymustangparts and the unlucky previous owner of a CR CF wheel, Iāve had some craft time with a damaged 19ā GT350R carbon fiber stock wheel.
For those who havenāt seen the innards of the Carbon Revolution 19ā wheel...notable items of this design include the center...
Both are electronics. Trying to be more like you Tomster. I donāt know what it is about these Mustangs. Never owned a Ford until the S550 GT350s came about. Canāt explain it other than the synergy created by combining all the individual special pieces. I need (I mean want) another...
