Great looking machine and nice mods , but wondering if you got a new model of Michelins since I am pretty sure you have Pilot Sport 4S tires and not 5S? You need to try and make the Mustang Roundup in September in Hastings, Ne. as my neighbor should be there in his color twin to your GT 350. He has a lot of miles on MPH and I am sure he would love to share his track info with a fellow White/Blue Shelby.

Hi Bill, thanks that was a typo, I ordered the tires in March and the 5s was not available yet or I would have gone with those instead for sure. The Hastings event sounds fun, I'll see if my schedule will permit thanks!

The event is way cool, the track was repaved with current state of the art techniques ( using a new paver as there are only 2 seams on this track whereas 3 is common) and Ford Engineers always show up to chat with drivers, run with them, and often they bring some surprising new product.

PS - and thanks for listing the PS5, which as you noted is a new generation Michelin coming out soon. I was totally unaware of this tyre, but it will be interesting to see what TireRack thinks about it when it is finally out and tested.

That event looks like fun, I have a friend going out for the viper event this week.

Who is that, as I will be at that event also? You are not talking about George Batejan by any strange chance as he is a good friend and past customer!

My buddy's name is Mike Keutzer. He has a 1996 Viper and will be dragging it behind a white 2001 dodge 3500.

Cool, I will look for him and introduce myself. I have quite a few miles at MPH, so I can give him a few pointers if he wants them.
