Firstly this is @pilotgore 's fault lol.
I have a 2020 Heritage base with Recaros and about 4200 miles, chassis #11. The car has the 8 year 36k premiumcare extended ford warranty. The car has only seen rain once and has PPF over the entire front clip, lower doors and rear quarters. Car has ford performance springs and sway bars as well as the stock in storage. Other parts I have sitting that I have not installed.
I got the car in April 2020 by flying to Chicago, buying the car and driving it home. The first year i drove the car the brunt of the miles it has now including that 600 mile drive home. Then I took it to a HPDE and absolutely fell deeply in love with the car. I was never a mustang guy before this car, my friends thought I was crazy when I bought it. I come from a japanese sports car background where I tracked multiple Evo 8/9's and the car that I sold to buy the gt350 was a 94 FD rx7 that i had extensively modified.
Taking the car on track kinda ruined street driving in the car for me. Don't get me wrong, It's still a lot of fun and have taken it out on some fun weekend drives through the mountains about an hour or so from my house... but can't compare to driving the car where it belongs.
I don't want to ruin the heritage, and I'm scared I will. Both with modification and taking it on track more often. Right now the car doesn't have a lot of track time on it, and when i have tracked it I kinda baby it, but I have a strong urge to continue to modify the car to make it faster and more fun. Half the fun i have with cars is maintenance/modification/tinkering. I'm religious with maintenance on the gt350. I have had 0 problems with my car other than a battery failure.
There is a 2017 FP350S locally believe it or not for sale that I am actually heading out the door now to go check out. It's car number 28. The car is on consignment at a local small dealer and they didnt have a lot of info for me when I called but hope to learn significantly more today. I do think its a bit overpriced (listed at 100k), but I'm going anyway. I would have never considered a mustang track car had it not been for the GT350... shame on me in this regard.
Am I crazy for considering selling the heritage and picking up this track car? I already have a nice aluminum open trailer and plenty of garage space + a 2 post lift at home, but will I miss the ability to drive the gt350 on the road? None of you will have the right answer but curious of opinions
