Took my GT350R out to Laguna Seca [vid]

[financialguy]

welcome, congrats! Pics? We all want to see a new R:ford::cheers:

Thank you, it is exciting to own my first Mustang
Here's a pic of the car at the dealership. Looking forward to driving it on track to see the limits of the car. Hopefully, Ben can give me a few pointers.

This thing is a beast. Completely bone stock (suspension settings, even) it's running 1:40s pace on my second session. Brakes were unflappable, chassis was willing to rotate... beautiful, beautiful track car.

Did you scrape coming down corkscrew? I did when I drove the R at the Track Tour Event there.

I also did, but I had the suspension in sport rather than track. Still would not be surprised to see it scrape even in track though.

You could here it scraping the video. :( hope it wasn't as bad as it sounded.

Awesome video look like a ton of fun. Maybe I can get my girlfriend at a track day with me. But first she needs to like cars. Sir I admire you.

If I get my wife on a track, Im not giving her the faster car :doh:

It's just a piece of plastic. I'm sure if it's damaged enough to need replacing he will do so. It's plastic for a reason.

In this case, a very expensive piece of plastic.

Awesome videos. I really wish they would post a Randy Pobst GT350R Laguna time.

I doubt he's too concerned lol

Probably true in regard to Treynor. Probably not for all R owners however.

My brother saw Ben lapping laguna last weekend in an ACR. It was a Porsche track day. Guess what? Even the porsche racecars were trailing. The ACR is a fucking beast.

When that piece of plastic hits the road, what expensive part is the plastic hitting?

Yah, that was a pretty great weekend. Bring my ACR to the track for what turns out to be a Porsche Club track day, and end up running the same pace (bone stock, on street tires) as the fastest Porsche RSR cup racing cars The video footage should be outstanding.
