So what supporting mods for E85? The corn is corrosive to engine components, so I hear. If you want to run E85 on your new R, what do you do to make sure you still get long life out of motor? The plan is full exhaust (headers to catback), CAI, Tune and E85
The way I understated it on the '15 '16 models you have to change the active exhaust through the steering wheel. Do the 2017 R models also get the new active exhaust toggle switch?

I am in Southern California.
If I wanted a Black with no stripes 2016 or 2017 GT350R with the Tech package, do I have a decent chance of tracking a new one down in dealers without having to travel to opposite side of country?
Or would I have to order the car? If I did order it, what kind of...
Assuming this is a 2017 model, where you can get the coolers with the track pack. Would you still get the 'R'?
Even if cost were not a limiting factor, part of me is strongly considering the 2017 model with the Tech package. I have no tracks around me, and I personally think the track pack...
Personally I like the TP wheels more then the R wheels. Id like to keep the R wheels just for track days and the TP wheels for street driving.
Will there be any issues doing a straight wheel swap? I ask because of the fine tuned suspension the R has.
thank you
...from a suspension standpoint?
The base GT350 does not have Magneride, correct? So from a handling standpoint, what separates the base GT350 from the GT PP?
Thanks
2016 Cadillac Escalade weighs 5,815 lbs
It has a 420-HP, 460 lb-ft torque, 6.2L Vortec V8.
It gets 23-25 MPG on the freeway.
The 5,815 lb Escalade does 0-60 in 5.8 seconds.
This same motor is found in the Silverado 1500, which does 0-60 in 5.6 seconds.
Why is it that Ford has an...
I can get a brand new, Venom Black Viper TA right now through a buddy for roughly the same price as what the Rs are selling for right now with the ADM.
I think I have made my decision, but Im curious what you guys would purchase:
OR
For me I am a Ford guy and love the GT350R, but I don't love much more then MSRP. With a $30K ADM on the R model, I can almost get a new Viper T/A, new CTS-V, and can certainly purchase a C7 Z06 for that price. I'm not complaining, it just is what it is.
You guys think the ADM will calm down...
I can't think of another car that looks so good in nearly every color. It's crazy.
If and when I place an order for a 2017, I think my final choice with be solid black with no stripes, with solid black and black stripes (with red pinstripes) a close second.
Aside from those two color...
I would love to hear a header/off road h-pipe combo with something other then the stock cat-back. I know magnaflow gave us a very limited 'teaser' awhile back, but is there any other catbacks out there yet for the GT350?
:ford:
How much boost can it reliably handle in the long term? What are the rods, pistons and crank made out of? Solid head studs? Are they built like the 03/04 Cobra?
Seeing the GT350 with the Whipple running on relatively low boost and making big horsepower numbers is exciting, Im just curious...
Anybody have paint overspray from the factory under the hood? As in, black hood latch, etc has paint on it. Also curious about missing snake emblem on steering wheel cover, and an exhaust that has a metallic rattling noise in 'sport' mode.
I thought there was going to be a video posted of Lethal's GT350 w/ their O/R pipe and the new Magnaflow Catback. Did I miss it, or did it not get posted yet?
Really wanting to hear this car with headers, o/r mid pipe and aftermarket catback
I have heard it in person several times and I think it sounds like ass.
I hated the sound from the beginning, and still think it sounds awful.
I can't wait to hear an O/R pipe w/ the new Magnaflow catback. I think that will sound amazing, and I think many aftermarket cat-backs will sound...
