I’d say it’s more important -where- you want to go. If you’re drag racing, there may never be an end to the power. If you auto cross the class will limit you. And the only time I wanted more power last weekend at an hpde at cota was being passed by cars with huge aero advantages on a long...

Those numbers are way too low; run at another shop, use 5th gear for consistency, and read up on the dynamometer your shop uses. A different make of dyno will load the engine differently and have different numbers. In the early days of 2016 motor trend did their dyno testing, and even ran it...

I’d never thought of it this before, left does seem better. But if it’s on the left, the reason I would not have both hands on the wheel is when I am shifting a manual transmission, which is 100% of the Shelby’s. When just chilling on a long casual drive I often drive left hand only, but I...

The downforce will depend on conditions, and those numbers will be based on data we don't have - so I assume they are marketing numbers to say "downforce is really high, we have a big wing." Saying the downforce is X lbs needs some backing data to support it, like altitude and speed. I'm sure...

Not at all. We have opinions, 80s pickup truck wisdom, and second hand marketing numbers from the Dodge Viper to back it up. We should have the downforce and drag coefficient on the GT350R calculated shortly. Technically the original question was about whether all cars with the R spoiler are...

The misguided belief that they can stop production of cars (not globally, just North America) and maintain relevance as a viable choice in a competitive auto landscape through a few halo vehicles and highly successful trucks to stop losses in other market segments and cherry pick high margin and...

Ford wants twice that for replacement vinyl stripes. But I'll say $1. It can't be prohibitively expensive to do the stripes during production, but I'm sure it will unreasonable after you take delivery.

The price isn't too far off of $1695, the cost of a one day performance driving school. You won't get to drive the GT350 if you didn't go to Track Attack, but you'd get to drive yours for somewhere around $1000 for your next track day weekend plus consumables with airfair and consumables About...

And unfortunately despite the scare tactic, I believe the diagnosis. If you leave a presence pin floating, a body module or climate module could behave unpredictably. Its cracking me up to read about someone who got heater controls they didn’t want while I have the 8” and put in Sparco seats...

So you have an OEM suggesting not to do a retrofit, while providing vague warnings about what might go wrong. I wish they’d just put up some useful information instead of the old “it’s out of warranty” scare. Besides, if you did it their way in 2016 you’d have a tech pack, and you would have...

I think I would call it the belly pan, but maybe it's not the best term. Whatever the splitter attaches to on the rear edge with a few bolts. When I took the fascia off, it was the fascia itself with splitter, and there was a three foot plastic piece extending behind it. When you're down...

The splitter is attached with a bunch of tabs into an insert on the fascia and I found taking the entire front fascia and belly pan off to be easier. To do this means remove the front fender liners, belly pan bolts, a pair internal on the side of front bumper, and then I think there are 6 + 2...

I was always concerned about Brembo’s statement on powder coating, so it’s why I bought new R calipers when I could just repaint. http://www.brembo.com/en/company/news/5-reasons-not-to-use-repainted-brake-calipers-brembo +1 for White Bear Lake. They had opened each box and checked for damage...

The Flood Ford link is back to what looks to be a Ford coverage. It’s giving a quote on “Premium Care.” https://fordprotect.ford.com/ Seems like this is the source of it, and they’d be equipped to answer questions, like for Canada. Or Florida. Phone and contact numbers are there.

Check your racing host/club suggestions; it will be a good starting point. I would recommend getting it looked at by a mechanic for the first track day, especially after 8000 miles of street use. It's just too easy to miss that little transmission leak that becomes a real problem after three...

Many thanks for the experiences above. Exactly what I needed.

I sort of hate to ask, because I feel like this has been answered before, but I can't find it. Is it possible to install a Schroth Quickfit 4 pt harness in an R, or in a GT350 with rear seat delete? Or is it safe to say that rear seat delete means you need a roll bar? Has anyone installed the...

I suppose it's probably true the R picks up few if any changes. Still depressing though. Tires are different, as stated. Revisions to sway bar and spring rates don't mean the R has to take them, and would be unlikely to. Spoiler would be different too. The exciting parts about...

I think it would be reasonable to infer that the other changes the GT350 is tracking in 2019 would be applied to the R, and possibly even improved on (e.g. R specific shock calibration).

And the window stickers were changed somewhere in 2017 to more clearly delineate a registered trademark.
