This. Fending off / ignoring street racing challenges is something entirely new for me. Ummm . . . dudes . . . I'm just going to the grocery store! It's my business if I'm shagging some eggs at an interesting pace above posted limits . . .

OP, One of the factors that may be missing in the chain of very helpful comments so far is to understand what you want out of or want to do with whatever car you buy? If you and the wife are MUSTANG 4-EVAH kind of folks, and a potential $25K - $35K (or more) price differential between a very...

Thanks. Looks like the 8.5 has a good offset to keep the rims in line with the fender lips. They look good!

Hack, Did you choose the 8.5 square setup to maximize winter tire effectiveness, or for some other reason? Can you run the 10" size on the Shelby? Thanks.

Was there this much excitement in the Euro / Italian fan world when the Boss was released? I admit I wasn't paying much attention then to the cross chatter.

Bossing gave you a good description of this car's qualities. Have fun with the search!

The GT350 is a big car, and feels quite substantial when you're driving. That said, it's plenty nimble and damn comfy. You've read correctly that the 5.2 is not tuned / set up to be a torque monster, and given the weight of the car may possibly not feel all that different to you...

I have similar experience, and I have to agree that American mfr design and build quality has made some nice strides in most segments. While USA knocks it out of the park on light/heavy duty trucks, they've typically not designed or spec'd their passenger model lines to the degree found in...

I couldn't quite tell what tire you had from my quick look at the pick, and thought you might be pushing way past the envelope! Kudos for going with winter tires and keeping the Shelby out of the garage.

Thanks. If you don't mind my asking a few more questions . . . Are the calipers fitted with dust boots or just internal seals, and do you know whether there are anti kick back springs in the cylinders? Thanks again.

Is the R-caliper different than what's installed on Track, Tech or base? I wouldn't think so since there's only one pad option, but maybe something different with internals or exterior color option? Thanks.

BMW is building cars to the spec the majority of their customers want: GT, not raw sports. I've taken a couple of turns in the new M3, and it is a fantastic GT car. The seats are some of the best you'll find anywhere, the suspension and chassis are very well engineered and set up, the build...

Well, just to continue the thread derailment . . . Anyone who's driven home after a nice 85+ Fahrenheit track day, say hello air conditioned seats! Mmmmmmmmmm. How are those MPSS tires working in the snow!?

In fairness though, the white GT350 driver is still a rookie at PBIR track. As 65sohc stated, it's about dialing down on apexes after hitting the proper turn-ins. :thumbsup: Oh my . . . where do you think the driver was looking to blow turn in like that? My thinking is it was a...

Definitely interested in their experiences!

I instruct or run advanced in DE groups, including private track days where the skill, equipment levels and speed are all up several notches. I'm not at all saying that the GT350 OE pads and fluids are not up to the task, because I simply have no experience with them on track. But, in my...

Just a bump on the off chance that someone has identified pad options for the, apparently, bespoke Gt350 Brembos. I haven't yet nailed anything down in my searching. I'll be interested to learn about others' experience with the stock pads, including longevity with track use, replacement...

True. I think I misunderstood this scoop to be a direct fitment in the midst of a mad rush of searching for confirmed options and applications, and just lost track of what I was looking at.

Interesting. It's sold on the FPP site, and sold as a FPP part. It's not the way I would go personally, but still surprising that there are fitment issues.
