Correct, we bought the car from Dean Martin at Rehagen. It was on Ebay and a friend of mine whose son drives for Dean told me about.

I own 50% of it with my garage mate. We both have 2011 GT350s that we bought at the same time and are both getting too much track rash. It made a lot of sense to get a track car and share it. We have a friend who bought an FR500S a few years back and let us drive it. Totally different experience in a purpose built car.

Awesome car guy logic! :)

Our car is in California!

The trucker timed out by Gilroy and has to rest 10 hours. Delivery tomorrow morning, I will post arrival pics
 
car looks great.
I'm in Los Gatos, right on the SJ border so we must live pretty close.

the point of a purpose-built car being such a different experience is so true.
congrats...that build looks fantastic.

Congrats on the purchase and delivery of your new Race Spec Mustang. She looks sweet and glad to see she made it in excellent condition.

Have fun and I look forward to watching the Track vids.

All the Best,
302 Hi Pro
 
Mike, looking good. I might drive up to TH that weekend and check it out. So this was a street car turned into a race car?

1900 mile total wreck, the cowl back is body in white. They put a Boss 302R cage from a wrecked Pirelli car in it when it was apart. Total re-paint, looks really good. They added new PFC calipers, FRPP Sachs shocks(with dyno results). The build sheet is all Boss 302S, but I removed all the Boss 302S decals today.

I have the seat that I put in my 350 for track days. I am going to make it a passenger seat, so come up to T Hill and we can go for a ride!

Thank you.

I have a helmet Contour cam and a hero 3 rollbar mount, so I will have video from T Hill in 2 weeks. Just need to figure out how to post video on this site.
 
Very sweet machine you have there, congrats.

Would I be too forward to ask if minded sharing the ride height measurements at all four corners on that beast? ;D

Center of wheel to fender would be very nice but I wouldn't complain with ground to fender height info either ;)

Thanks

I will take measurements and post.
