That's pretty fast especially considering the fast bike time I could find on the ring is 7:10. It will be interesting to see how the new GT500 compares.
Lol well we will most likely never see one of these, let alone ride in one, so we will probably never know.I daily a 06 b2300. Id imagine it cant be worse. If it is, i retract my statement sir haha. I feel like i will lose control when i go over rough areas.

I've only seen 1 GT350R that wasn't in a show room or an auto show, there are going to be even less of these than the R.
Hell, there is a better chance of seeing a Ford GT in the wild than this car.
Oh I thought they said 750 total.Doubtful. Chevy has stated they will build up to 750/yr of these and there's multiple people with orders already close to having them delivered. You'll see more than you realize.. I've yet to see a single 350R in the wild, but I've seen an F40 and a CCX-R in the same year, on the streets.
Ford GTs are overly common here and not even work a second look.

My thought on the matter was they weren't going to make the same mistake they did with the Z28. They sold the first 500 of those, easily, then couldn't move the other 1000 or whatever to save their lives.
Now, people still need to be aware of what they're buying when they get this thing, but, it's definitely more daily livable than the Gen5 Z...
I'm actually curious about this. Al O said they don't suggest it for street driving, so I imagine it's going to be really tough to live with lol. People say the RS is tough to live with, but in comparison I think it's going to be a Cadillac. Especially because some people already think the regular ZL1 rides rough with the magnetic dampers.
Either way, here is to hoping I see one on track.
I didn't know you could get supercar Gen3s yet. I'm really interested in that tire, I really like the gen2.I have a 2016 2SS and a 2017 ZL1 -- both auto. I will say that the ZL1 in Touring mode rides about like the SS in Sport mode.. So, the ZL1 suspension is a wee bit stiffer and there's only so much the MR can do. The DSSV v3 on the ZL1 1LE plus its setup will ride much firmer.
The DD aspect is the 3R tires, mostly (from what I know).. You don't want to drive those tires in below 50F or in damp/rain -- as the Corvette Z0x people with PS Cup2s found our (or know).. They're amazing in temp.. but, look out in cold/damp.
Even the GY F1 SuperCar Gen3 on my ZL1 have slight issues with standing water or damp conditions.. It's manageable, you just can't drive like a tool when it's wet.
I'm definitely hoping to see them on local tracks... and not just loitering at car shows.

I don't have anything else to add, other than I hope they sell enough they push for another couple years of production, then the pricing plummets again for us normies lol.
There was an explanation by Jamal Hameedi...
...we spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to make more GT500s due to high demand.
What games?So...why the games with the GT350R?
Hopefully they have a good track to do it on.Since resurfacing portions of the track, ALL of the times have gotten quicker, and I don't necessarily think you can give all the credit to the car.
The ZL1 1LE is a beast, no doubt. Next month a grassroots group is sending two 2017 Viper ACR-E's out there, I would venture to guess it'll be sub 6:50. I bet they get close to the lap record of 6:43 (production car).

Did you mean why the production is so limited on the GT350Rs? I was watching an interview on Autoline that Carbon Revolution is producing the carbon fiber rims at full capacity. Furthermore, I believe Ford switched carbon fiber suppliers for the GT350(Used to be Plasan) and they were having difficulties with the new supplier.So...why the games with the GT350R?
Indeed, they resurfaced 1600 feet of track at one of the roughest sectors. That certainly will improve times. They have also removed the speed limits they had in several sectors as well.
Exactly. I'm not a fanboy for anyone... I mean, I own a Ford store and drive a Dodge...
But I really believe the 17 ACR-E is going to demolish the Ring next month.
