You should never use the engine to slow the car on track. If you are relying on the engine to slow down on the track because you fear the brakes won't stop you, then you don't have enough brake-you need better pads, fluid, or calipers. If you are a professional driver, you are either on...
The benefit of the CF wheels are twofold: weight and stiffness. CF wheels have significantly less unsprung weight than the best forged wheels.
Forged wheels will flex more than the CF wheels, which means less contact patch under load, which means less grip.
Carbon fiber is stronger than the...

I'm not willing to be the guinea pig for a new config re: GT500 cam covers after an engine failure and replacement, but I'll keep an eye out for other's experiences.
I'm interested in oil separator experiences for those who track their GT350. I had the JLT passenger side oil separator on my old motor, so re-evaluating for the replacement. I would find it 1/4 full after two track weekends. Please post your experiences/feedback and thanks!
The motor failed on October 13. I had it towed to a dealership that dicked me around and said they had to dissasemble the engine and their engine mechanic couldn't get to it until late December/January.
I had it towed to a different dealership on Monday and I was told yesterday the engine would...
Add me to the list. 2017 GT350R, 8200 miles. I was accelerating through 4K RPM when I felt the engine lose power. I looked at the oil pressure gauge and it was dropping, so I depressed the clutch and coasted the car to a stop. While coasting, the engine sputtered and died. Afterwards, it...
With your mods and the sound-deadening removed, from your in-car audio it sounds like a completely different engine, but in the best way! Congrats on the beast lap time. What size are the Pirelli DH slicks?
I just got back from the Mustang Roundup IX event at Motorsports Park Hastings. We had two '19 GT350's blow the coolant hose that connects from the back of the cooling reservoir to the right side of the block during track use. We had many other GT350's there running hot laps, but no issues...
Too early to tell, but I would expect to get much more mileage out of the 4's because they are a harder compound designed for street use. To confirm, I'm running a staggered street setup and a squared setup for track. There are no discernible differences in handling on the street for me other...
