Scraping is a fact of life with these. As others have said, the splitter is pretty durable. I've bottomed mine out pretty good on one occasion and I had minimal gouging on it to my surprise. As long as you don't smash it into any stop bars or sidewalks you should be fine.
Gotcha. So it's more of a "this is an idea of what you're going to get once production starts" than bidding on the physical car itself. I learned something new today. :like:
Kinda dumb question, but whoever wins the GT500; do they get to take possession of it immediately, or do they have to wait until it goes into full production to receive the car?
Yeah that's how I interpreted it too. I'm not sure if they have started rolling the 2019's off the line yet, but I feel like they're going to stick these new blocks in for the 2019 YM and hopefully call it quits at the end of this YM cycle. Part of the allure to these cars, (outside of the fact...
I do like the fact they went with exposed carbon this time around. I'm of the mindset that if you have carbon, why cover it up? I am rather impressed they managed to keep the weight the same even with a much bigger wheel. Do you know if Carbon Revolutions is supplying these bad boys too, or did...
Has anyone found pics of the non-carbon wheels? I assume they're going to be similar to the carbon ones, but all the cars I've seen so far have the track pack.
Just busting your balls man. I know what you meant. I'm rather disappointed in the generation I'm unfortunately grouped with, but I truly believe the phase out of the stick shift is inevitable; whether my generation has any interest in them or not. Government and state regulations are putting a...
Ouch lol. I mean, I was 23 when I bought my 350. I grew up with a love of cars and taught myself how to drive stick at 16 because nobody would teach me. Several of my cars have been manuals over the years, and all of my friends who remotely like cars all drive stick. I don't think I have a...
I think the low rate of acceleration in that video, specifically, is because they're not giving her all the beans so as not to give away the performance just yet.
There are a lot of hard core enthusiast and purists that own the GT350 as a capable track car, and I'm not denying that in the slightest. But there's a similarly large crowd that will trade up every time the new car they like comes out because they can, because it's faster, because it's new, and...
2 more questions for you. Does the car allow you to shift into neutral if you have it in "on" mode with the brake depressed? And have you tried starting it in neutral?
I understand what you're saying. They are 2 totally different cars, and will likely have 2 different target markets and owners who gravitate to one or the other. One being a flat plane NA track monster, and the other being a supercharged... well we're not totally sure yet. Regardless, the GT500...
Some of us do have piston slap which can be a little annoying, but as far as I've seen it's not damaging in any way, just a nuisance. I have it intermittently at idle.
