I'm thinking of switching to R compounds. In the past I have always tracked cars with R compounds. I felt that the tires (stock PSS) were somewhat unmatched with the power and chassis ability. However, I later learned that Ford recommends 28 PSI cold for the track on the Michelin PSS - I had it on factory setting of 36PSI. Need to re-assess at the correct pressure. R compounds will probably eventually be put on once these wear out. I'm not sure PSS will ever come close to them.

You started a track session with 36 PSI cold??!! Unless you drive like a grandma, your tires are going to pick up at least 7 psi, likely10 psi or more, which would put you significantly past the ideal track pressure for any street tire that I'm aware of. It's amazing your car had any grip at all. 28 cold + 10 psi = 38 hot, which is close to the upper limit that I used to run my PS2's, and the point beyond which they'd get greasy. I don't have any direct track experience with PSS, although I've used them on two daily drivers, but I would expect similar characteristics in regard to track pressure as the PS2.

This is a fantastic experience, you're going to love it. I attended the Boss 302 Track Attack at Miller - the track is beautiful. They will have a photographer on site too who is going to get you about 80 awesome photos and give you a USB for you to take home after. Worth the airfare for sure. Great drivers on site and a decent museum too, let us know how you like it.

I need to see how the long program will last - guessing through 2017. It's really worth it though - great people there and you'll meet some interesting folks and see some amazing cars. They'll have a GT350 with your name on it when you arrive - full cage and all I assume like they did with the Boss 302.

For you guys that want to get an idea of what this car can do at a fast track, then check out this video. For some reason I could not get it to upload with higher quality. Please excuse the quality for now until I can figure out how to upload it with higher quality in the next couple of days.

Can you share the link to the testing? Just curious. GT3 is almost a full second faster to 60 and 1/4 mile, has PDK, cup2 tires, and bigger brakes. I understand (and appreciate) the new FPC engine and magnaride, but taking on a GT3 or even RS is almost miracle (unless there is a significant driver or some other factor we dont know).

To have a valid comparison, you need same-day testing by an independent 3rd party with a driver who's good enough to drive two very different cars at 10/10ths each. Even then, you have to know which tires are on each car, and whether they bothered to set an equally aggressive alignment on each car, appropriate for the tires that were used. For example, a 350 on MPSS would be a significant disadvantage (2-3 sec) from tires alone if compared directly to a GT3 on MPSC2, a GT3 with a street alignment would be at a disadvantage (from an alignment standpoint) to a 350 with really aggressive set of r-comps and an aggressive alignment that gets the most from them, etc.

Here is a customers car we recently completed here at GMG. We added a a whole bunch of carbon goodies including several trim pieces, installing a custom coated watson 4 point roll bar and even painting the inner barrel of the OEM wheels to match the outer!
