Welp, as of earlier this week I traded in my 17' GT350 avalanche grey for a 2019 GT350R Oxford White w/ Black stripes KR711. I was contemplating this move for awhile now and finally pulled the trigger on the new R after working the dealer down below msrp and giving me what I asked for my trade.
First things first, the R absolutely has a much more dominate presence and aw factor to it just by the 2 cars sitting side by side. This was my first time seeing an R in person and it did not disappoint what so ever. I loved my 17', enjoyed every second of it, tracked it as much as I could and drove it how it was meant to be. Getting more track oriented, this is why I decided to pull the trigger on an R now while their still out there to have the best of both worlds.
Now to my concern, I kept my 17' stock for about 2k miles, then did kooks headers/full exhaust, jlt intake, and lund tune. The car was an animal for what it was and never disappointed . Now, I know having a brand new engine now its gonna take a bit for it to break in and what not, but I have noticed from around 2500 - 3500rpm there is a very noticeable in/out hesitation almost like a sputtering when on the throttle. Not always, but very frequent from what I have drove so far(100 miles on the R). I know these motors are dogs down low, and have been following everything about them since 2016, but I did not have this on my 17' when it was stock. Is it just me from being so use to my 17' tuned power band, that this is throwing me off ? Or is there something going on that others have experienced ? Like I said, I know the feeling down low of bogging before the power curve, but this feels like its cutting in and out. Thanks for your help everyone
