Did you do any pulls against the ZR1? Should line'em up once your car is broken in.

Any plans to lower the car or change the wheels?

..why they couldn't do it in a much more expensive car is my question.

Mark: That is an excellent question and one that I hope someone can answer. I too love sitting in my Recaros and went with them again this time. I haven't missed the electrically-adjustable position nor the heat and cold but it would have been nice if those features were available with them.

I have a few Q's:

1) Does the car keep the exhaust setting, or do you have to set it each time you start the car?
2) Same question applies to the mode of driving?
3) Heated Steering?

No heated wheel
Reverts back to normal/normal

I tried, he didnt seem interested.
My car is broken in, im ready to roll lol.

No sure about lowering the car. Dont know much about the suspension in here, and dont want to go backwards based on appearance alone. Wheels yes, signature or forgestar, something light and good looking

V: Thanks for the update on no heated wheel and the reversion back to normal with modes. Again..I don't get it. Both of our other vehicles remember pretty much everything. Odds are, the lawyers got involved with this decision.

Gorgeous car, dude..now where's that video you promised? :-) And more photos, PLEASE. <bigger grin>

lolol.. im saying, if people have a question that one needs a car to measure. But yes, things just like that.. i didnt know, do all non gt350 buyers know it?



I know i know.. thats how perfect this car is, not even a complaint. just would rather have air blowing through my crevices in the heat. Yes, im in love. dont be salty, i feel your pain ;)

Lol, just messing with ya.

I mainly like the power adjustable seat for height. I like sitting higher in a car rather than lower and that is the adjustment that gets used the most when friends like to drive my RS (they all like to sit lower than me). The heated/cooled function is not as big of a deal since the car is always in the garage and it does not get driven in the cold with the Cup 2 tires on it. My RS even has a heated steering wheel, even though I never use that function either.

Beautiful ride. Congrats!

1. I see the opening for the tow hook. Did it come with the actual hook piece?

Thanks

Nice dude, I always thought it would be funny AF if the new GT500 is quicker than the ZR1. Goes to show how GM dropped the ball on that car (even tho I'd still want one).

Thanks! Much better than I thought. I measured a 2018 GT350 and it came in at 3.5"! Had me worried sick.

 

[kilobravo]

YIKES! Just THREE AND A HALF INCHES, man, that's CLOSE. Just measured my '14's front clearance and it's 5.25". Heck, that's close but THREE AND A HALF is REALLY close!

Ya I think that's lower than my R front splitter. Somethings up with the 350 you measured.

Looks like you ain't living the low life.

Praise the lowered.

I don't know about lawyers but my C7 would remember any mode but "Track". If you drove in "Track" it would revert back to "Tour" mode on the next keystart. If you had it in Sport, it would remember that.

My Focus RS would not remember drive modes. My VW MKVII would not remember drive modes.

I do wish with the GT350/500 would at least allow you to keep it in "Sport" but it only takes two seconds via the steering wheel controls and becomes second nature anyway while I wait for oil temperature to rise before I start driving.

OP, gorgeous color. I really like this color on the GT500 with the black accents. Super sharp.
