Awesome write up. Looking forward to receiving my 16 GT350R in the spring
I drove the GT350R at Lime Rock Park... In this thread- I share my thoughts
- Thread starter Chris!
- Start date
Nice review, Chris.
Ford Racing just called me yesterday morning to tell me they have a slot for the Monday morning session at Sebring. It worked out well since I have a meeting in S. Florida in the afternoon.
Looking forward to trying one out on track. I just did the 14-hour Chumpcar race at Sebring 2-weeks ago, and am going back in November with my Z06. So pretty cool to get to drive the GT350 there.
No order in for me. But if I'm enamored with the car, I'll look at moving my remaining '13 GT500 and getting one next year.

These track events are completely closed, right? An average joe can't just show up at one merely for a chance to look at the car??
Correct you have to check in etc
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts
Damn, Lucky you!
How'd you like chump car? I have a bunch of friends doing AER, they love it.
It was tremendous fun and definitely takes teamwork. Despite a few hurdles we completed the race and were actually running well from ~5-6 hours in through the end. We had some fuel system problems, but will remedy before our next race at Road Atlanta.
I 'think' we might only be running the short course at Sebring. Obviously will know tomorrow but that would kind of suck. I've also seen some videos where it appears they are setting up gates on-track with cones to keep cars on a set line. That would such too, lol. I can see from Ford's standpoint. They don't want somebody running the piss out of one of their cars on-track and possibly having an incident, so they need some controls in place. They're very likely putting people out there who have never even been on-track, so it makes sense. But still, if we can run T5-T10, that's a nice stretch with some decent speed, just not like Bishops or T16-T17.

Well, they were cool enough to respond to my email, and did tell me there's no open slots, but said they were looking at putting together a 2016 event, so maybe "they will see me then".
What a great write up Chris. With all your mustang knowledge and experience I'd trust your thoughts over the magazines. One thing I'm concluding after reading this is that ford won't be making a gt500 anytime soon. Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm not. Only thing I do know for sure is I'm not on the fence. I'm keeping the 14 Shelby for the rest of my life. It's getting paid off and that's that. I don't care if ford makes a gt600. I hope to see your new car in person this spring.
haha! no kidding
Hey Chris, you need to order an R that way when you get tired of it I can buy it from you. Killer color combo.
Do you know what happened to Cars & Coffee at Larz Anderson, did they stop having them?

Haha! I would have gotten one if I could have gotten an allocation for one! Track pack will be in late winter
The last one got cancelled due to weather- and once we looked at the schedule, with all the other events it was hard to fit in. They'll be back next year
