If it were a real problem I would have read it on RL 1st, right?
Must be those Tech Pack cars.

FORD provided track editions "Track Pack" and the "R" version - I hope these lawyers lose so bad. And terrible reporting not even able to differentiate the model line up !
What kind of fool buys the non track option with zero cooling components and then assumes you can track it as hard as the Track Pack and R models - get out of here - LOSERS

First time out with new camber plates:
I have a '17 GT350 that I track occasionally at MSRC. It does not allow for camber adjustment in stock form... and it needs it. Mine came fixed with -1.1 deg on the RF and -1.3 deg on the LF and the tires wore miserably on the outside edge. I had Vorshlag camber plates installed and the camber set to -2.8 deg front and -2.0 deg back and experienced a 0.6 second improvement in average lap times (compared to previous good day averages), in the first session of use. Total investment was just shy of $850. While the tires have a decent amount of tread left, they have pretty much stopped getting tacky so I expect a new set of tires would show an even better improvement.
Along with the improved times, the front end feels noticeably stickier. Braking was unaffected and turn in might be a tad better... front toe is set to zero. There was also no effect on the cars balance... it still slides evenly and predictably. I'm quite happy with the change and expect to be even more so when I start seeing the tires wear more evenly. Now if I could just find a way to get the front pads to last a bit longer...

Sounds good Bob! Have you tried the Michelin Pilot Cup 2 tires? I don't have the Vorshlag plates but I had very good shop do an aggressive alignment with the cup tires and it was ***** fast out on the track.

The engine's oil radiator design is located on the driver's side, with ducting to provide optimum airflow. The transmission-oil radiator is on the other side of the front bumper and the transmission circuit has it's own internal pump.
The differential oil cooler is mounted in the lower rear diffuser which allows much shorter runs of plumbing. Special ducting directs air through the cooler and out the rear bumper. The cooler has it's own electric pump on a thermostat.
In summary yes the GT350 Track Pack and GT350R are incredible track cars - I have driven 300 miles to Road Atlanta, tracked all weekend and drove 300 miles back home right after with zero issues. These cars are bulletproof.

Ok guys...anyone take delivery of their GT350 yet? I have seen a few on the road as of the last week or so. Thoughts?
I have a line on a build at MSRP. Should I grab it? Being told that I could get my hands on an R for $20 over. Thinking that the standard is fine. Track pack and go!
My buddies got built on Tuesday so he should have his soon. Thanks.

Most of us do not have experience with the car named in this lawsuit which is the "Tech Pack" - most people here including myself bought the 2016 GT350 Track Pack or GT350R. These models are equipped with radiators for engine, transmission, and rear-axle oil cooling.

R - strap through wheels
Anyone know if I can strap through the wheels/spokes on the CF wheels of the R? This is my first car with CF wheels.

If someone brings one to our facility we would be more than happy to develop a slew of products for that car!
