As in GT 5.0 cooling issues? The S550 GT350 and the S550 GT500 have no cooling issues (outside of the '15 and '16 350 tech packs).

It seems your situation calls for a GT350. Happy wife = happy life.
I think half of my problem is the A10. I wanted the killer low 12 sec 1/4 mile, and also an easier to manage car on the track. As a newer track guy, throwing in a 6spd along with learning track manners was a lot to take in. I could barely manage paddle shifting my Lexus around a track.
It made sense to me when I purchased 6 months ago to go A10 and 5.0. Now, second guessing, due to heat issues.

If you don't want a 6 speed manual, then there is the GT500. You domt have to use the paddles.

Iā€™ll assume my GT350 has the same visibility as the R and GT500. So yes Iā€™m very comfortable with it.
Does the wing take up that much room?
Iā€˜m rarely concerned with whatā€™s behind me unless Iā€™m riding a motorcycle.
Well we know what happens when you assume.

Donā€™t we?

The R wing deletes a full 1/3 of the rear view, and it's right at the height where you can recognize the headlights of what's coming up on you.

I would say its at least 1/3 lol - definitely worse rear visibility then the GT350

I like to disassemble things.
The CFTP wing kind of blocks what is immediately behind you but you can see off in the distance. If you elevate the wing, the way God designed it to be used:), you can see immediately behind you but it blocks your view in the distance. Makes scanning for for the police more of a challenge!

That car is sick man, the only way it would leave my possession would be an unfortunate track incident that left it in the hands of the insurance company. lol

Thank you! Donā€™t know what the problem is.
Image this happened BEHIND you. The wing would hide the surfboard coming at you.
