I took about 3 laps before really getting on it, so about 8-10 minutes. I wasn't babying it like I do on the road (below 4k). I warmed her up with semi-heavy braking and smooth acceleration up to about 5k before shifting. She got up to temperature quickly.

I was heel-toeing earlier in the day and on day 1, and it was okay (have to work on not releasing the brake as much when I blip the throttle), but I decided it was high time I focussed on one thing. I was already consistent, but I needed to get consistent at speed. I decided to forego the...

As amazing as the drive was I definitely felt let down that it overheated so quickly in those temperatures. I had seen posts reporting back that the car had overheated in 65 degree weather, but certainly never expected it to overheat in the mid 30s. I did, however, go in knowing that...

Hooked On Driving is great. I've only been to a track twice, both times it was Watkins Glen. The first time I went was October of 2014. I only went for one day and it was my first time on track so I was okay by the end, not amazing. This time I went for both track days at Watkins Glen. When...

Yep. My friend lent me his Hero3

I brought my car to Watkins Glen for a Hooked On Driving HPDE event on Monday and Tuesday. I got my bearings by day two and was really able to blast around the track. Unfortunately, the parts didn't arrive for my transmission cooling install before my track day so I went out without it. The...

Nice. I can't say I've seen a GT350 near us. I've only seen two (one was an R) and I had to drive down to Trenton.

I'm not driving it in the winter. I tried to sets of wheels and never got anything to clesr the calipers.

Where in Bergen County? I'm in Dumont (near Paramus).

I like the Bell Vador in black. It looks nice and has space for comms. I want to pick one up for my next track day, hopefully later this year. I have to find a place where I can try on helmets for size, though.

And this is what drives me nuts about this forum. It's so damn polar. Multiple threads on the same issue, the overheating transmission, so there's no consolidation of information. In those threads you get the Track and R owners bashing Tech and Base owners for having chosen the "wrong"...

It looks like Joe snapped a picture of my car today. Thanks!

Thanks for lunch, Joe. Next one is on me. Carl, no words for how amazing the black with black racing stripes looked in person. As for me, hopefully next time I'll have my bumper sorted out by the dealer and finally get the splitter installed.

I'm no photographer, so I apologize for just snapping a few quick pictures: http://imgur.com/a/BWTQb Mine was the Magnetic GT350 (I didn't snap any pictures of it). I didn't get a picture of the GT350R, but got a picture of Joe's Track Pack GT350.

I just took some pictures today after my friend and I took a drive. http://imgur.com/a/kyeXG

TireRack has them for $400 and $408 USD. Another ~$100 for mounting and balancing at my local mechanic, that's about $1700 USD. Your quote sounds expensive. Even converted, that would be about $2200 CAD.

5.7 when it arrived. 16 miles when I dropped by to see it because I didn't have time to do all the paperwork that day but happened to be in the area. They had taken it to get gas, it was still in transport mode. They even let me drive it. I brought it back with 27 miles, which was how much it...

Good to hear. They don't have a GT350 to test fitment on, unfortunately. Using the usual dimensions, these wheels should have fit, but the interior diameter just wasn't wide enough. It also seemed tapered. They've taken car of me and got me a set of wheels we know fit (MMD Axim). Though they...

I haven't gotten nearly as much attention as some of you in my week and a half of ownership, but I do have a couple of stories. Day 1 I was driving the car back home. It was a good hour or so and I enjoyed the twisties before getting on the highway. As I'm merging I see a Mini Cooper S ahead...

Thank you for your reply, Alex. I suppose I was just the victim of bad timing. I've PM'd you the order details. I'll need to wait until tomorrow or so until I can drop the wheel off at my mechanic again and have them all picked up from there.
