IMSA at VIR this weekend (Aug. 21-23)

[Dary]

158 did not finish. Not sure what happened. Might have been something mechanical related to the off he had earlier.

I think I heard him saying he couldn't change the gears. Stuck on the 2nd or 3rd gear I guess.

I think 158 collided with another car going into a turn, looked like the left fender and front end. :(

Also mentioned transmission damage as a result of that crash.

Boy, was that bizarre - at least it was ugly too...

We were traveling home from visiting family this afternoon, so I watched it on my iPhone 6+ using the IMSA app. I had it plugged into one of the USB ports in my wife's ST (she was driving), and the eye-roll of disbelief she gave me when she heard the race audio begin playing over the car speakers made my weekend.

Bad weekend for the 350. I did get a laugh out of both the Z and the AM running out of gas.

Yes the Nissan started to slide off the field and another car took a quick left and 158 took a sharp left and over corrected and slide off field in to the sliding Nissan..jacked up the fender and wheel....what a disappointment. I will say from a drama point of view it was a good race...i.e. Aston Martin, Nissan, etc...

What is interesting is the GT350R-C have steel front bumpers.

They appears to be rust, and nor do most manufactures coat a extruded aluminum bumper.

IIRC the 350s have aluminum rear bumpers, but where does it say they have an AL front?

 

[68fbjjz109]

First line item under mechanical for standard equipment of both the GT350 and GT350R

On the plus side, I think this answers the question if you can put on on a regular mustang, as many feared it would be unique mounting.

I believe that the R's also get a rear aluminum bumper beam in addition to the front.

I am pretty sure you are correct. They are components I am interested in acquiring.
