  1. 16 GT350 track pack running hot on the street

    85 degrees outside. Driving 15 miles back from work, normal mode, 40 to 50 mph in 3rd gear like a random suburban dad. By the time I get home it reads 237 oil temp, which looked very high to me given the conditions. I did 235/240 last time I went to the track. Does that kind of temp in sedate...
  2. Winter Warm Up

    I bought a set of cheapo rims and micheline alpine snow tires and happily drive the car in up to a couple inches of snow. Yeah I know "salt, blah, blah". I don't care. If in 20 years time the car dissolves in a cloud.of rust so be it, at least we'll have had a lot of fun.Sent from my ONEPLUS...
  3. Two 2016 GT350 for sale in Texas

    Holy cow. $45k with 902 miles. I wonder what my 7k mile car is worth then. Good thing I plan on keeping it forever.Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

  5. Am I running too hot?

    I have a track pack with 4,400 miles, just back from the service where they fixed the drive mode selection unavailable.Drove about 15 miles on the highway and then 10 miles on back roads, mostly in 2nd gear at 5k and over RPM, and some in 3 gear, at lower revs.External temp was 80 deg...
  6. Thoughts on removing the stripes?

    I wouldn't have this car in any color other than white with blue stripes. Just like I wouldn't have a 8 cyl ferrari other than in red (if I were buying one, which sadly I'm not). For me it's both the heritage and the fact that it does look particularly good in white and blue.
  7. Exhaust actuators replacement wait

    Thanks, I'll try that.
  8. Exhaust actuators replacement wait

    I have. And it does suck donkey"s ballz. Normal mode should be renamed "90 year old granny drives to church on sunday morning mode".
  9. Exhaust actuators replacement wait

    I've been locked out of the drive selection mode for almost 2 months now. Dealer says they need some exhaust actuators parts that apparently haven't come in yet. Anyone heard anything similar?
  10. Considering GT350 for Daily Driver in Northeast

    I have a set of cheapo 19" from american muscle with 255 michelin winter tires on all four corners. I did autocross in the snow at Lime Rock with the Gt350 (turned out to be a bad idea) and drove it a few hundred miles past winter, which doesn:t count though as it was very mild.I wouldn't...

  12. CEL at the track day

    Well I hope it costs nothing under warranty!
  13. CEL at the track day

    Car was an absolute beast on track. So much grip. My ballz gave up much sooner than the car honestly. My instructor was in utter disbelief at what it could do.Plus there was a constant pilgrimage of all guys coming to look at the car and asking questions. Without a doubt the star attraction...
