Interesting how the tire pressure recommendations are the same for tires that are different models and sizes...any consensus on tire pressures for the R PSC's for track use?

I think you can find a new 17 or 18 R for $5K over sticker or less if you search and are willing to travel. I can't think of a better new car for the money for my purposes than the R.

That is a great site, I used it in my search, but it hasn't been updated in quite some time. The shop ford site is the only accurate way to find new ones for sale that I know of. They will list cars that are not on autolist, cars, or autotrader.

We're not talking the shop ford website, are we? https://shop.ford.com/showroom/?gnav=header-shop&linktype=inventory#/

Here is a list of VINs for new '17 cars in and around Alabama. All of them are listed under sticker. If you are willing to travel a little further, go to autolist.com and specify a distance from your zip code and you can filter the results. You can filter by color and price as well...

Unfortunately, it looks as if they are done, certainly with touring, possibly in the studio as well. never say never, but bummer nonetheless: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/music/between-the-acts-how-the-end-of-rush-let-alex-lifeson-be-as-creative-as-i-want-tobe/article37620762/?cmpid=rss1

Very likely. What colors are you considering?

Two of them that I could find: 1FA6P8JZ2J5503752 1FA6P8JZ3J5502139

The first question I would ask is what are you looking for out of an R? Do you want to have a collectible street car, or are you going to be taking it to a track and driving it in the manner in which it was designed and engineered? I had decided to see if I could find an R at a reasonable price...

Finally! Purchased 2/15, finally delivered today. Thanks to Jim White and Jim Florence at Florence & White Ford, and Howard Thompson at Passport Transport. 2017 Shadow Black 920A with White OTT chassis HR822 Denver, CO

Just a quick question to the members and to the OP-what might be the deciding factor in spending twice as much on these wheels as opposed to say a set of Apex EC-7 wheels for a squared setup for track use? I love the look of these wheels, but I'm finding it hard to justify a 100%/$2K premium...

Thanks much, I'll go that route.

Does anyone know where one might get discounted pricing on Amsoil 5w50?

So I had the same question re: adjusting toe every time you change camber settings with aftermarket plates, so I reached out to Vorschlag to confirm whether or not the toe gets thrown out of whack. Vorschlag's response: "For alignments, our customers that change settings for the track...

You will probably not find a new R for sticker. It took me two months and a lot of luck to find one at $1500 over sticker. I looked nationwide and finally found one at a small dealership that was willing to do business at that number for a 2017 R. Expect to pay $5K over, and maybe you might...

Good question...if the dealership service department has good reviews, and if you can get some references from other owners about the dealership, then I would feel better about it. In the end, a CPO status is determined by a checklist, but you never know how thorough the dealership will be...

I had an E46 M3 set up with KW Clubsports, Brembos front and back, and some other track goodies. Not that quick in a straight line, but absolutely fearsome in the turns. Whenever someone wanted to street race, I'd roll down my window and tell them I'd pay them $1000 if they could do a faster...

Trackaholic, by chance is your 03 350Z a NASA Spec Z or ST car?

I wonder what modifications will present a problem and cause your local dealership to deny warranty work...non-Ford Performance oil separators? Aftermarket track wheels? Running slicks? MGW shifter? Camber plates? It seems like there is no consistency between dealers, or a consistent policy...

Well, pick up the phone, mention the cars.com ad, and see if they will honor the price...
