Congratulations, we all were glad to go on the ride of your thoughts and choice of the GT350 . Each drive is special . New events and great people you’ll meet because of it.
Congratulations, you’ve ended up with enough knowledge pick out a great one and don’t have to second guess your GT350. I haven’t tracked mine but I did ad ford Racing passenger side oil catch tank, Vorschlag camber, caster plates and switched to the better protection Amsoil that meets fords...
Our forum offers great questions and sound replies for us all. Great times to have the Bullit, Mach1, mustang GT , SHELBY GT350 . A fantastic Mustang for so many individual reasons. Considering everyone has the right mustang for them , my experience after owning 27 mustangs is to find the best...
Thanks for your input. The A052 only available in a 295/35 which of course is smaller and taller. The 660 is available in the 315/30 which of course is larger and original aspect ratio . We get three morning runs about 10 minutes apart or Less , then three in e afternoon. Thoughts??
In the Spokane/Pacific northwest it’s rare to have a warm day. Thanks for responding. So to clarify, order of choice for a first run ? Yokohama a052, Bridgestone re-71, rt660?
Anyone know what Falken tires he used on his winning Mach1? and size ? My cup 2’s were slippery when cold at the Autocross I tried on my GT350R . Lost my concentration and confidence when grip wasn’t there that I expected.
Bring a trailer would be a great venue, you agree on its reserve, they charge you 99$ , take a bunch of pictures if they agree to list it . It’s go time about 2 weeks after your agreement.
Fantastic find , PP004 is still here. How Ford Performance chooses wasn’t even something that the Rep would share, let alone any information on these pre production Shelby’s or how many R’s . What I’ve garnered is if it went to DST for paint, body and interior show perfection or not by a TAG...
A book called drive it forever by Robert Sikorsky mentioned cold starting wear on the bearings is equal to 500 normal driving miles . so having all synthetics that stay on the bearings and don’t leave the bearings dry will make a difference on bearing wear in the long run. Also Zinc has been...
I was gifted a track session in my friend Gary Underwood’s historic 1967 Shelby Trans am #33 John mcolm Mustang. Gary set my rev limit to 6000 rpm and said it would last all day with no problems . With that in mind I set my rev limiter at 6100 on my 289 Comet Cyclone even though Cam research...
Thoughts about history repeating itself. Back in 1962 to 1971 the hot cars you could buy on the show rooms are now part of Automotive muscle car history . How about a 1966 Shelby cobra 427 for $7000 or a hemi Cuda or a mustang 428 super Cobra Jet? Look at we can buy today gentlemen. I believe...
Thanks for your honest play by play post on your GT350. Yes theres a inherent vibration from the flat plane crank . GM had to work with that problem as well on the new Corvette with one. I enjoyed watching your lap improvements and also saw you catch a Porsche 911 that possibly was twice the...
2018 GT350R W 16k miles in Kona blue at Murray Motors Chevrolet is your Selinsgrove PA dealership! A short drive from Williamsport for 67900 , Looks like they put new Michelin pilot sport 4S tires on it so maybe they could take those off and charge you the extra for the sport cup twos? A...
Wow the testing shop miles reminds me of Ferris Buellers day off, parking garage dudes. As a journeyman watchmaker, I specialized in trouble shooting that other watchmakers had missed. I was trained by a Certified Master. I assure you that you just haven’t found the right guy yet . He’s out...
Objectivity shows both are winners for the reasons why one purchased one vs the other. High performance Mustangs bring out the enjoyment factor over just transportation cars. In this thread the Mach1 is being compared to the GT350. Not the other way around. I’m old enough to remember that most...
I have found that with the carbon fiber wheels the ride is smoother on the highway and response at the steering wheel is quicker making the vehicle feel like it’s 500 or more pounds less .the carbon fiber wing with more downforce helps . these are all engineered especially for performance and...
Wow I didn’t even know about the media PR tour . My contact was with a VIP group that had been chosen to buy one of the first 37 2015 R’s . He had said that he had logged all the vins there at Laguna Seca and there was one Magnetic R with my vin . It was on display earlier at the Chicago Auto...
