everyone can now chill!

FRPP engineers are considering suspension upgrades, but nothing is finalized there, but what is coming is a way for track rats to keep their non-Track Pack, non-R-model GT350s’ temperatures under control during extended track sessions.

“We have seen many of the customers that didn’t choose the Track Pack or the R are so excited about the performance of their cars that they are taking their base and Tech Pack cars to the track. Those cars do not have transmission and differential coolers and are able to get their temperatures to the limits pretty quickly,” Dave explained. “We are developing kits for these customers using the production parts or modified versions of the production parts to improve the cooling for these cars.”

Hopefully the cooler package comes soon enough and cheap enough to please the tech pack owners in need

Other notable FRPP parts from the article

-RSD
-Larger TBs (92 and 100mm versions)
-FRPP Exhaust via Borla
-FRPP Short shifter
-TracKey

I bet the Borla ATAK from FPRP would sound awesome on the GT350. If they do it like the C7 and 6G Camaro dual mode exhausts, Borla's Touring exhaust will be the quiet mode, and the loud mode will come in S-Type and ATAK options.

Great to have another confirmation that Ford is going to do what it said it will do.
Now can we start doing something other than pooping in the cereal of Tech Package owners?

Sounds like buying a tech or base while the bad taste is still there may be a wise option.

Usually FRPP does a Touring style and a "Sport" style. I don't think an ATAK level muffler system has ever had an FRPP label.

Ah. Didn't know that.

I'm offended, you forgot to mention us base owners:lol:

You mean before the ADM starts going up? The cooler issue doesn't seem to be affecting sales.

That's because you guys seem to be a much more civil, calm and educated bunch of GT 350 owners.

(Probably brave, clean, reverent and thrifty too!). :lol:

Very exciting future for GT350 owners, and shows Ford is planning to take care of its customers. It's nice to know that I got all my tech goodies and will have an OEM option for track performance cooling when I decide it matters to me.

Most excited about the Ford/Borla dual mode mufflers, 100mm throttle body, and track key. Should make the car even more beastly
