Man, I really wish the R came in that orange. Or did it? It's my favorite color.

The OP spacers and lugs are excellent. Did the same thing myself

Took delivery of my 19 Shelby today. Man I wish the previous owner protected the paint because it has a fair amount of rock chips...

Oh well, just means I won't be scared to drive it.

Hey guys,

Can anyone help me find this part? Or what is it called? It's right in front of the rear tires. I'm missing the drivers side.

Looks like a plastic deflector or guard.

Well finally got the car out to it's first real event since purchasing it.

Joined up with the SCCA and the Atlanta region for their CAMC class after reading a great writeup from another site.

Unfortunately my brain fog in the morning and trying to wrap my head around the decade + hiatus I took from competition meant I made a massive mistake early on. Instead of running the tires in the high 30's for tire pressure when hot, I instead spent the first 4 of my 6 runs dropping pressure to what they should be when cold. This lead to 4 of my 6 runs at 28psi hot. Took me a while to figure out why the car was suddenly so "soft". Once I was able to up the pressures to about 34 rear and 36 front (all I had time for before my last run) the car transformed and was suddenly much more planted, fluid, and predictable in it's breakaway characteristics at the limit. Unfortunately I also managed to disable launch control while switching off advancetrac which led to me revving the engine at the starter like an amped up teenager, instead of it settling at a nice 4200 rpm.

Car is still on the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires (305/325) so I know there is time alone in upgrading the compound there alone. I'm also second guessing my line into the back corner of the track and the downshift to 1st I made. It was a greater than 90 degree corner though, and these GT350's don't make much steam below 3,500 rpm. Unfortunately my heel/toe work here was more focused on gettign into first than it was braking as hard as possible which I know left some time on the tables.

All in all I could have done a lot worse for my first time back between the cones in over a decade, but I have a list of "driver mods" I need to perform on myself before our next outing. Fastest run of the day below. 2nd in class in CAMC in a group of 4.

If it's what I think it is, it's called a Rear Deflector and is part of the Rocker Moulding. You can buy them from Levittown pretty cheap - Rear Deflector

Let my wife drive
My SO drove the GT350 to Target yesterday. It was uneventful, although she doesn't like it.

After owner stick shifts all her life, she is 4 years into an automatic (Subaru), and she forgot to hold the clutch in to start the car. :crying:

Thanks for finding it. Looks like they only list one for the right side. I assume the drivers side is suppose to have one?
