Sebring Track Tour

[Mark Dreyer]

Here is a white GT350 for you .
Interesting story on this car. It is owned by the trust set up by Brian Jackson of Barret Jackson fame. The beneficiaries of the trust are Jackson's kids. Carroll Shelby wrote a note to each kid on either side of the car. How valuable do you suppose this car is? One of the Ford employees stated that he was surprised the car wasn't roped off.

Sister caught me on video hot lapping!

First, I would also like to thank Ford for such a great opportunity. In the past, I have spent time a reasonable amount of time out at Miller Motorsports running the FR500 and the Boss 302 and the new GT 350 is the winner hands down. After running my laps in the white GT350R, I immediately had a feeling like my 2013 Boss 302 was already obsolete. It just amazes me how Ford can continue raising the bar on each and every performance Mustang they have produced over the past 4-5 years.

As for the hot lap, all I can say is WOW! It was amazing how well the car handled in the corners at such faster speeds. The instructor was hammering down the straight away and when I looked over at the speedo he was pushing 135+. I was extremely impressed with the braking and how fast the car could enter the next corner. A true performance car! Well done Ford!

Finally, it was nice meeting and talking with all the attendees about their Mustang "habits" and the excitement of the GT350. The parting gift was also appreciated!

Short video my buddy took from hotel balcony at Turn 7 (hairpin)... I was in one of the white R's. Can't wait to HPDE my own to Sebring's full course layout...

That yellow with just the black roof is gorgeous.

That damn car looks great in every color!! I went with Triple Yellow after visiting a local dealer and walking around the GTs they had there. Decided on the black roof and black stripes.

The black cars look absolutely sinister to me....but I can't have black anymore or I'd be in therapy..I notice every mark on them.

So subjective though....many here love the AG but it looks like glossy primer to me...go figure.

cold whole milk and warm chocolate chip cookies . . . . I bet it tastes that good!

That yellow with just the black roof is gorgeous.

I am in total agreement and especially so once I looked at this Triple Yellow car in person.

Just my opinion but I think the car looks the best without the black stripes but certainly keeping the black roof.

Not going to make a color change on my cars but if I did this would be the color combination that I would go to.

My favorite aspects from the limited time with this car so far is still its handling, grip and braking capability. It defies logic due to its weight.

Agreed. It was shocking how well it handled. And it's not that it "has tremendous grip and awesome handling for how heavy it is". It handles well period. It has turn-in and grip like it weighs 1,000lbs less than it really does.

 

[fuhrius]

so, Bossing, how'd you like the AG in person?

 

[troberts]

Both sound great, R just has a slight rasp/raw tone while the non R has a cleaner tone.

I thought the R and Non R had same engine and exhaust... ???

Same engine, same exhaust with the exception of the removed resonators on the R.
