Thanks. That's the icing on the cake, that is one of the tracks that has been on my list to go too anyway. It will be exciting to make comparisons of my gt3 and the gt350 on track.

I think your Porsches with the engine in the wrong place need an extra 2-300 pounds!!!

That track is by far the most beautiful one i've seen in the USA, the mountain views surrounding you as you drive are really something. Also they will have an on-site photographer who will be taking photos of the entire event and provide you with a USB of about 200 high quality pictures for you to take home.

It would be nice to be able to stay for other track days since it is a long trip.

They will give you the option to do more days but that will be out of pocket (i've heard it's worth it).

Understandable more time would be on me. I would like to spend track time in one of my cars not in a school. Years ago when I was club racing this track did not exist or I would have gone there, it has been on my list to do since I started back doing TT a while back.

If you already have your VIN go to GT350trackattack.com and go ahead and register. Dates do fill up and you will need your VIN to register. You do not need to wait for your invitation to sign up. Stay for a second day if you have the time and $$ and drive the school cars. Boss 302R race cars if I remember correctly. Is a fun time.

What if a car has them and you want to take them off. Easy to remove like any stickers?

Mike, you dog! I knew you wouldn't hold out too long. I want a ride in that thing. Bring it to the next AX. I looked at a black R on the floor at Pearson Ford today. It was about $63K list and they had it marked up to $113K. I laughed and told them some fool would probably buy it, but not me.

What we really need is about 10 more cars in GS to spice it up. Maybe we can get a kickstarter going?

I won't publish a want list- but I do find out officially when everyone else does re: NFGT in a few more weeks.

I'd imagine so, probably better to just order them without. I will say Race Red looks best with just a painted black roof.

IMO, your average joe, or weekend warrior would be faster in the 350R than a GT3, whose lack of rear downforce, rear engine quirks, and delay of the rear steering makes it much trickier to get the last tenths out of. Then again if the average Joe is really slow and takes turns at the same speed in both cars, the straight line advantage of the GT3 would probably make it the faster car...

I find it very hard to believe these cars would even be comparable. I was at LS the same day the yellow mustang 350R was there, and it was at least 2 seconds per lap slower, despite me having to upshift to 6th to pass sound (my gps sound thing broke and I did not have turnout pipes). GT3 is a 1:37 car in arms of a hack like me (I've driven LS just ~6 times in my life) with upshifting 2 gears between 4 and 6, while 350R ran 1:40s, judging from the vid, with a good driver (I've seen very fast laps from the same driver). So the miracle did not happen.

Also, what's that about RWS introducing rear steer delay? The whole point of electric RWS is to eliminate the mechanical rear steer delay present in other cars. So it's a benefit, not a detractor.

The Boss 302 pulled low 1.40's at Laguna Seca back in 2012. I've heard the GT350R is capable of mid to low 1.30's on Laguna Seca...

So was the GT350R able to pass sound going full throttle out of 5 and up the hill to turn 6? Did it have any exhaust mods to permit it to do that? I would have assumed it's even louder than a 991 GT3 at WOT/peak RPM.
