In an enclosed trailer, factory D-rings are not often placed to work well with wheel bonnets. If you have the option to install e-track I would use a system similar to this:


Or if I had to use the factory D-ring locations common to most enclosed trailers, I would use T-hooks in the factory slots in the chassis:



IMO, these are the methods which pose the least risk of damage to any part of the car.

^I appreciate the time taken on straps, etc. A few weeks ago I ordered a 28' FL and have Etrack all the way down for the reasons stated, and I added 4 extra D-rings. But in the mean time, I need to haul with poorly placed D-rings and through the wheels.

I sent Ford an email asking for clarification.

That would be really great as you make good stuff.
I have a donor car for you to use in CO. Leave those stubby hills and come on out.

Drove the gt350 today at Sebring! My regular 996gt3 is getting prepped for container ride.

Toyo R888R carried the weight of the car pretty well. Brakes held up ok. (Stock fluid and pads)

As good of a DD the gt350 it's actually not to bad on track. Soft and heavy but hides the mass.

It definitely has its niche. A $50k track pack gt350 is hard to beat.

But,

It's no Porsche.

Sorry, don't have any desire for a piggy of an american car. Ping me when they can make a car that weighs less than 3,200lbs and doesn't overheat on the track.

Definitely a piggy. Doubt track pack gt350 will overheat.
It's made for a one car owner that DD and does occasional track days. And don't want to spend $150k on a gt3.
Gt4 is way better on track but also 2x money. And not as good as a daily. Ford definitely found a good niche.

You got me on weight - but you got nothing on me for cooling - GT350 Track Pack comes stock with 3 integrated radiators with their own electric pumps. I've ran the living **** out of this car on the track - and then drove it home 300 miles like I went to buy milk.

GT350R same deal - this isn't a Z06

What's your point?! Oh wait, the vin on mine starts with 1FATP...
I agree, porky, and I don't care for the exhaust anymore. Sounds horrible in the car, it sounds like Cherry Bombs on a jacked up 4X4. Why did I buy this car?! Oh I remember, to get a Ford GT!

I agree...but still man alive!
I can't wait until my new home and shop are built!

Hi Guys,
For those GT350 owners looking for track/racing pads, Ferodo just launched two of their compounds in the OEM GT350 shapes. We have the DS2500 (H compound code, autoX, sport, daily) and DSUNO (Z compound code, full race). These have both become very popular among 991 GT3 owners, and they will work great on the GT350 as well. Details below...click the links for more info and to purchase. Thanks!

2015+ Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang

Front= FCP4835

Rear= FCP4711

We are also now offering Spiegler Stainless Steel Brake Lines for the car, another popular mod for 991 GT3 owners:

Front Spiegler Lines for GT350


Rear Spiegler Lines for GT350

Thanks Jritt. Any chance of getting the RS1-11 in the front also. Really like my Ferodo pads on my FR-S AP Sprint Kit.
