Bad day...

I think it's a trend of high performance cars catching on fire.

I remember 458 had fire issues, GT3 had fire issues, and now GT350.

Some lambos as well but those all were linked to the engine in the back.

one GT350 has pictures surface of fire damaged, that, if I may add, no one knows for sure what happened, constitutes a trend? SMH

There are two things in life that I absolutely hate.
People who wear sunglasses indoors and threads like these full of speculation.

Yes and the other GT350 was reported to have a rattling noise while on track from an unknown source from his instructor but he ran both days with no other issues that I know of.

He suspected front wheel bearing and I checked the lugs (all snug). We're guessing tire noise. I'm not sure you could hear a wheel bearing with the windows down, helmets on, and voodoo at full wail. If someone does hear something I'm glad they tell me about it though! I did eleven 25-30 minute sessions. As I suspected the higher ambient temps (85F) caused engine oil to reach 270F and you better be changing it frequently if it gets that hot.

I met Garth the owner of the other GT350 while checking in on Friday and we spoke through out the weekend and it was on Saturday when he mentioned about the noise and possibly bearings or lug nuts being lose that we rode over to my area that I was sharing with some of my Camaro friends to use my wrench which just so happens to be across the way from Joe. That is when we got to talking cars and he mentioned his steering issues and what maybe the root cause. Both good guys.

I don't think the owner of the car has actually posted anything yet. Nobody really knows what happened or his condition

It was not in reference to Joe's car issue that I was talking about but instead about Garth's car with the noise issue. Sorry for the confusion.

I have been using Pennzoil Ultra Platinum lately with great results after reading a piece by Bob the oil guy which is about $27 for a 5 qt jug from walley world. My car needs 8 qts so I have started to stock up while I can.

That's what I used on my previous car too. Unfortunately, the only oil that meets Fords spec for the GT350 is their own oil, or Amsoil. :frusty:
