This was the funniest thing; in Amsterdam people go completely gaga for it. In the UK literally NOBODY showed any reaction. Theyā€™d hear the V8 rumble coming down the street, turn around, realize it wasnā€™t an Aston Martin, give sort of a ā€œoh dearā€ look and carry on. Haha.
When I was waiting in line for the ferry with the E-Type next to me, people were coming over constantly to take pictures and talk to the E-Type owner. I was ignored 100% šŸ˜„
Itā€™s the stripes. Iā€™m English. The vast majority arenā€™t aware of the Mustang/stripe association so when they see a car with stripes they assume that itā€™s something the owner has stuck on to make it look racy. If your car had no stripes the eyes would have followed you down the street.

I went to the ā€œMid-Ohioā€ track over the weekend for a HPDE event. One ā€œBossā€, ā€œMach 1ā€ (parked next to me) and a ā€œ17 GT350ā€ My instructor was a super nice man that drives some AWD 911 turbo Porsche. He could not believe the performance of the GT-350. Acceleration, Braking, Handling and the repeatability. Lap after Lap. His words were
"You drove this car faster and faster every lap. Off line at times when you got a late pass signal and they didn't slow to let you get by in two different corners. This car never didn't turn or react to your input, I just sat as a passenger and enjoyed the ride"
Then he asked what I paid for it and said "Unbelievable, I now have a lot of respect for the GT-350"

Fun time Ray.
The reaction you described is the same as I get when Porsche, Ferrari and Corvette guys drive my car. Bang for the buck is unreal.

I was shopping 911 turbo's myself after owning two Mustangs in a row and in the end decided the GT350 was too good to pass up after driving it and realizing that a 997.2 Turbo was going to be 35-40k more.

Those calipers look superb! Let us know how you did it, please! I want to paint the Brembos on my Trackhawk.
