Shelby GT350R

One of the perks of owning a GT350, is some cool things that come with it.
One was the track tour, last spring, then I received owners supplement today form Ford Performance.
A few picks of some cool things.

Also one more very cool thing left, just need to book it :)
 
Your car is so gorgeous, I'd probably be sleeping in it...

Great to see you've been getting some miles laid down. Pretty soon it will be all nicely broken in, and then you can really drive it !;)
 
Well, fluids are checked, checked tore on lug nuts, emptied everything out of it, cleaned glass.
Helimech came over help set up harrys lap time, with go pro, with OBD2link. we will see how that all works LOL.
Tire pressures are lowered to 28 from 35.

Michelin makes a sport cup 2 tire and it is cheaper. ( a little)
For the gt350R they have built a spec tire specifically made for this car.
Compounds etc. When I check they are more. Also I didn't look but where did you get that quote?
If its tire rack, then US dollars plus shipping, duties and taxes, slightly over 1500 for fronts.
delivery 4-5 days. When I had 4 companies price and check for me.
2 sets of these in Canada at the moment. My fronts are coming from BC
The set of 4 I ordered are coming from Florida.
I will try and order in advance in the future :)
 
yes, the tires for car are a spec tire. Made for that car.
Actually its quite a storey. Major tire companies often work with major
car manufactures to make tires for cars and engineers work back and forth to create the tire.

For this car, Michelin and Ford engineers worked side by side and tested the car and tires together.
Very rare for a production car. Almost like racing teams.

Price is at Tire Rack US. Is the GT350 R Specific Michelin Sport Cup 2 Tire going to be called the "D" Cup ?

I checked tire rack they would have been about 100 more Approx. by the time I got them.
