I was holding out hope that Ford would offer Track Attack for the GT350 as they did for my '13 Boss so I could work on my driver modifications! I thought it was mentioned in a press conference, but I won't be holding my breath since Miller Motorsports Park is going under. Tow hooks for me.
I think the track will leave control from the Miller family, but I don't think the track is going anywhere. Someone will likely take it over. Ford seems to like using it... Just my opinion.

Valid,

Only thing right now we're looking at is paint protection, roll cage and new meat for the track.

We're working with some companies to get some parts out to the consumers:) Which means parts testing and feedback.
After thinking and planning more, I'm considering going more that way as well.

I may get a 4 point roll bar so that I can put better seat belts in the car for the track.

Paint protection also seems like a good idea. My 2015 GT already has a number of chips at the front of the windshield. It doesn't bother me too much, but I know that it will bother me more when the GT350 gets similar damage.

Look at other wheels. I don't really like the stock black wheels on a DIB car, but will keep them for track days.
Hoping to put a 120MPH sticker on it that the local 1/4 track gives out, then it will be all fun and road tracking after that.

I've already put front film protection on, and tinted the windows. I just finished putting Redline hood struts on.
However, I do not like the feel of the stock shifter--too loose and too long--so will be putting an MGW shifter in, hopefully, when they make one.
I've also discovered, after getting on it for the first time, that it has wheel hop, just like the Boss did. So I will be looking to stiften the rear suspension.
Other than that, don't see anything that needs to be improved (other than the stereo head unit--which I think is very basic for a $65k car).

Considering a resonator delete but the sound in sport mode is perfect. I'd have to hear an R in person or someone with deletes before doing that.

I agree- this is the only mod other than xpel that I've considered but given the sound of the stock exhaust in sport mode I would need to be convinced in an auditory fashion before hacking this exhaust up.

I had the Windows tinted this past weekend. That's about it as mods go.

One item I noticed that I thought was not correct, the rear belly pan to rear valance was not secure, there are 2 bolts and 2 plastic pins holding those 2 components together. I installed 8 U nuts in the existing holes and added 8 stainless bolts to hold them together. Much more stable back there.


Replaced the rear speakers with Hertz XLS165's


All my other mods are cosmetic:
Painted the coil covers.


Added the hood stripe


Added the R spoiler and rear louvers


Painted the brake calipers


Added a radar detector and dash cam.
That is all I plan to do until I get this on the track.

How much of a difference do the speakers make?

I'm planning to add either coolers or heat shields or both. I'm hoping Ford will have recommendations for me soon.

Nice! Our jacking rails make a nice addition as well, bolt right up!

Best sound clip to date, most likely in race mode...idle-8250 in .5 seconds

I was joking about the exhaust. Any louder and thy neighbor will despise you.
All us gt350 owners only have to cut the resonators to make it sound like the R correct, or is there more ?
