This is a video from my first track day with it. It was only about 33 days old at this point. :) It's just more a "point and shoot" line than a "momentum" line.
And I apologize in advance for the sound. You'll have to mute it instead of listening to the great exhaust sound.
I was there! It was definitely cold on both days.
It's interesting to compare the different driving lines and sounds from the automatic. You turn in quite a bit earlier than I do in my GT350 and listening to the auto shift in the middle of the corners is just so strange. You have super...
I highly suggest the Schroth Quick Fit Pro. It does not require a harness bar and is compatible with the factory 3-pt seat belt for everyday use.

Has anyone else experienced the clutch pedal staying on the floor after a high RPM (8000 or so) shift? Both my wife and I have experienced this on the track and it's extremely annoying. The clutch pedal stays on the floor until the RPM drops and then it finally releases.
I don't exactly...
I've got 305/30 RE-11s on 19x11 Forgestars on it now, but haven't had a track day yet. Haven't noticed much of a difference on the street yet except for the noise, the RE-11s are significantly louder.
The Supersports exceeded my expectations on the track though. I was very impressed with...
Nope. They're the track wheels and it's only off by 3mph at 65.
The spacer is only required if you want to rotate tires. You have to run the larger rear offset (+56) and make up the difference to the fronts (+27) with a spacer. As long as it's high-quality, hub-centric, then the loads...
That's the approximate difference between the wheel offset on the front and rear. I wanted to be able to rotate tires for use on the track and that was the only way to do it. They are hub-centric Eibach spacers and as a mechanical engineer, there is no additional load to the wheel or to the hub.
I'm running a non-staggered Forgestar CF10, 19x11, ET 56 with a 30mm spacer in the front and 305/30/19 Potenza RE-11s on all 4.
I just got them mounted last weekend and have not had them to the track yet.
They look a whole lot like the stock wheels.
Don't forget that the GT350 comes with metal valve stems, not rubber. Metal stems are highly recommended for track duty and speeds over 130mph.

I have yet to find the Ford part number for TPMS sensors with metal valve stems.
Yep, that's me!
Haven't been to this forum in a while and was very surprised to see this thread.
That video was from my second session in the car. It requires a very different driving style compared to my 03 Cobra and American Iron car. Definitely looking for some more seat time in it...
The car is 15.6' long and the wheelbase is 8.9'. You can fit it on a 16' though it would be tight. I think an 18' is ideal if you're not carrying anything else.
Here's a picture of my 20' trailer. I needed space for tires, toolbox and fuel jugs.
Yep, it's definitely low. Ford recommends a maximum ramp angle of 7.7 degrees. I was able to load it with about 9.5 degrees, but it's tight.
You can see the ramp extensions I had to make. My trailer height at the bottom of the dovetail is about 13". I had to extend my 5' ramps to about...
