F'ing beautiful track though. Wish I could have gotten at least the day in, of the two I bought. There went $1000...I ain't bitching, pay to play...Had a bit of fun.
Warranty. I would assume, but I told the dealership it was most likely oil pump related. Took two weeks to determine, according to them, thrown main bearing. Perhaps he left that out, or it was over their heads.
I was thinking about building a spare engine too. Sounds like fun.
Barely flogged her. On COTA, 2nd session out in the rain, feeling like a ***** because it is slippery and I don't know the track. Hear something fucking up in the engine, looked at gauges and oil temp was stable, but ZERO oil pressure. Turned off safely at the wide run off of T18?
Towed off...
Magic sauce would be in either the engine or chassis. I bought the car for the engine, nothing more. Everything else was negotiable (make the magic happen yourself)...that said, i popped my non-modified engine at 2300 miles, so now even the engine is an arguable point.
2300 miles, first track days I could find locally, so like 35 minutes of track. 2017...The oil pump is not well thought, especially given the failure destroys the engine. Some never experience it, others do.
It was yesterday. Wet conditions, second session out. Wasn't even going at 50%. Another GT350 guy said the exact same thing happened to him. Oil pressure went zero, pulled off track so I wouldn't leave 10 quarts for all to enjoy.
I was there. Didn't even have 2 sessions in and the oil pump failed. Towed to dealership...Otherwise, sick track. Great folks. GT350 guys were very helpful.
If there was an AG R at or below MSRP, I would have gotten one. My ego clearly isn't as tied up in my car as yours, but, hey, I suppose I don't fit the stereotype of the "Mustang douche." I can give a crap about such juvenile things. Every mod I do will surpass performance of the R. I do enjoy...
I pulled the trigger yesterday.
Email him your desired days. He prefers to sell the 3 day package, but is amenable to 1-2 day buy-ins. Give him a heads up on your track experience level so he can check if he has opening. It is either intermediate or advanced. There seems to be a rather high...
I haven't done a survey. Great weight saving, assuredly. Most who drive the R will never see it's limits, ever. For those who do, great investment, no doubt (if you don't mind dealer sodomy for the luxury). For those that don't, and want the car for the investment, the CF wheels are merely a...
One of the central reasons I didn't get the R was the rims. People are afraid to use them on the street, or the track, and for valid reason...If you are rich, then no biggy...If you are not, then you are going to spend lots of money every time you fuck one up...Nope. I'll save the money, not get...
