It may not be a full handling package car, but the FJG car had different wheels on it. Maybe it’ll be a little watered down version of the HP car?Shame they didn’t have any handling package cars there, though. They also seemed to be taking it relatively easy out there
Unlikely. They tested the GT350 there and they never released "official" times. Personally, I think there are just too many variables for it to matter.Man, are we ACTUALLY going to get an official ‘Ring time for a Mustang?? That would be a first!
Yeah, I'm thinking for Europe there may be a different wheel (similar, but not as wide as the HP wheels) for the Appearance Package.It may not be a full handling package car, but the FJG car had different wheels on it. Maybe it’ll be a little watered down version of the HP car?
True, I didn’t notice that it does have different wheels... but it’s also automatic, and the HP is manual-only. Maybe there’s a different set of wheels paired with the non-HP appearance package?It may not be a full handling package car, but the FJG car had different wheels on it.

Yeah, that’s true.Unlikely. They tested the GT350 there and they never released "official" times. Personally, I think there are just too many variables for it to matter.
Exactly! It’s just crazy to me that as of next year, I will have spent $100k on Mustangs alone in a 3 year span and still don’t get that performance driving class, but my buddy spent $17k on a Fiesta ST and got a free 3 day pass to Octane AcademyI agree, if Mach 1 isn't a "Ford Performance" vehicle and yet an Explorer ST is, something is wrong!
According to https://nurburgringlaptimes.com/lap-times-top-100/ the time was 7:32.19 for the Shelby Gt350RUnlikely. They tested the GT350 there and they never released "official" times. Personally, I think there are just too many variables for it to matter.
That was just a rumor, Ford never officially announced the timeAccording to https://nurburgringlaptimes.com/lap-times-top-100/ the time was 7:32.19 for the Shelby Gt350R
I would love to see 'ring times as well, but the specmanship wars prohibit it.Man, are we ACTUALLY going to get an official ‘Ring time for a Mustang?? That would be a first!
The driving school is part of why the Shelbys cost more. You actually do get what you paid for with them. IMO they are worth every penny. At least the GT350 is.True, I didn’t notice that it does have different wheels... but it’s also automatic, and the HP is manual-only. Maybe there’s a different set of wheels paired with the non-HP appearance package?
Yeah, that’s true.
Idk about you guys, but it’s frustrating to me that this car is getting tested at the Nurburgring (like the GT350, and MORE than the GT500 got), was build alongside Ford Performance, shares MAJOR Shelby components, is likely going to cost near Shelby pricing, yet STILL isn’t considered a “Ford Performance” vehicle... JUST GIVE ME THAT FREE DRIVING SCHOOL, DAMNIT!
The Mustangs are a lot more capable but the FiST is a fun car, there's no doubt. You can get a great track day for a few hundred dollars locally. Yeah it isn't the FP School, but you will love it.Exactly!
