So maybe you should have led with your work with C&R instead of trolling. I really give zero f**ks. And I'm not a Ford or BMW fanboy, and never mentioned anything regarding BMW's. I choose the right tool for the job, and I'm questioning whether the GT350R is the right one. We'll leave it to...

HB, Link below. The link to my OBD was off, so no RPM info, but I have the shift indicator set to 8K and I'm not short-shifting at all for hot laps. The altitude is also a factor in terms of overheating and less HP. when I took the car to Hastings in Nebraska (alt. 1900 vs 5000), it was like...

Honestly, I don't understand this. Trolling a GT350 forum when you don't even own the car the forum is about and offering nothing helpful or productive seems a bit daft.

That's the most likely root cause. I've not heard of anyone else's alternator failing. I'll see what the dealership says.

I just completed a track weekend with BMW Club at High Plains Raceway. I ran several 30-minute sessions doing lead-follow instructing at lower RPMs as well as hot laps in the morning. The lead-follow temps were 270 at 98 degrees max air temp at 5000 feet elevation. The max oil temp during hot...

I looked for a thread I saw addressing this but no joy...the cooling fans are not kicking on after a hot lap session at the track. I seem to recall a TSB or other fix for this listed here somewhere. Any help most appreciated.

We have quite a few GT350 owners on the front range that we see at the track. Pueblo Motorsports Park is also worth your time, it's a super-fun track. I'm doing an open lapping morning Friday at HPR. I'll also be at the BMW Club event in September and the NASA event in October. PM me if you...

Looks like a great track tire if cost is no option ($2050 for a set at Tire Rack) and you want to nail down tire pressures/performance metrics. However, if the focus is faster lap times, you can get Hoosier stickers for cheaper.

Nice! Space, don't think we've ever crossed paths at the track...what events do you attend?

Frank and Brian, NASA Rocky Mountain will be at High Plains Raceway August 15-16. We have lots of GT350 owners that come out. PM me for details if you are interested. I'd love to see two Twister Orange GT350's at the track!

Racing=wheel-to-wheel racing to the finish line in a non-street-legal car with a roll cage, fire suppression, and all safety gear (fire-resistant suit, shoes, socks, gloves and a HANS device.) Obviously if you turn your GT350 into a race car, you void the warranty. If you are doing open...

Congrats! Beautiful color. Too bad your break-in period is not complete...NASA Rocky Mountain is at High Plains Raceway this weekend...

Yup, I did the same, I'll be running them this weekend. A guy was crushing it at last year's Mustang Roundup at Hastings Motorsports Park with the Goodyears, though he was also a very good driver.

Hmm. Do you have a GT350R? Check. Have you had any experience with tire mounters on the front range? Nope. Do you live in Colorado? Nope. So, you failed to meet the criteria to be a person that might provide specific valuable input based on the requirements, and provided a Captain Obvious...

Not helpful, and doesn't answer the question. I'm not trusting anyone without the required equipment and experience. Most places can't even tell me what kind of tire mounting equipment they have.

Does anyone with a GT350R on the Colorado Front Range have a reliable business with a Hunter Touchless that they go to to mount tires on CF wheels? I've used Onsite Tires, but they are super busy and it would be nice to have a second option. Thanks!

Anyone have any recent feedback on the Pirelli DH 315/705/19 slick fitments for the R on the stock CF wheels?

I noticed while swapping wheels that one of the rear shocks was coated with fluid and accumulated gunk. i took the car into the dealership because my AC went out (again) and mentioned the shock-they confirmed it was leaking and ordered a replacement. Anyone else have Magnaride shock leaks?

I see you short shifted going up the hill under the bridge into T11...any high-pucker factor moments that led you to do that?

I have not heard of anyone being denied a warranty claim due to usage in a HPDE. So long as the car has been maintained properly (see checking oil levels) and has not been extensively modified (see engine tune or forced induction) you should be fine. Ford designed the GT350 specifically as a...
