    GT Performance on a Track

    Did not notice any brake fade on stock tires. Did notice fade with the Hoosiers. Probably carrying more speed into the corners with the Hoosiers.

    Yes...turn in on a corner is better with the stock tires. The 345's on the same corner pushes the front when you turn in and finding the right amount of throttle to induce a little oversteer with the torque we have on tap is difficult....real easy to go from not enough throttle to too much. I...

    Definitive Wheel and Tire Thread with Pics

    No rub at all...I actually tried 255's then 265's then 275's....the big meaty 345's push any combination. I even tried the Nitto NT01 - 275's on the front.My experience on the track with the stock tires was oversteer....when pushed the car goes from mild understeer to contollable oversteer...

    Earlier post mentions the GT understeers with the stock setup?? I must have been driving a different GT on the track because mine oversteered ....I went with the REO 50's 275 front and 345 rears..NOW the car understeers...pushes the front..HRE 18 x 9 front , 19 x 13 rears..

    Clutch Wear

    Hard to believe the clutch is bad with that mileage. Mine is at Hamon Ford getting the Stillen clutch. I just turned 11,000 miles on the stock clutch. I have tracked the car the numerous times in the last two years and last time out , once it was hot it started slipping. I had the pulley and...

    New clutch

    I have 11000 miles on my car now...6000 since the Hennessey pulley and tune. I have some track time on my car and last time out smelled the clutch and thought I felt it slipping. Since then in normal street use it has worked fine. I am sure it is about time for a clutch. I would like you to put...

    Owner Review: GT vs. Porsche GT3 RS (Long, with Photos)

    As discussed many times, the Goodyears just have no grip . The car oversteers, but is pretty controllable. The wheels are 13 x 19 rear and 9 x 18 fronts , HRE comp wheels. I stuck with the stock OD so I could have plenty of tire since I was tracking the car occasionally. I have quit tracking...

    Owner Review: GT vs. Porsche GT3 RS (Long, with Photos)

    Tires are huge...PS2's for the GT... I have had the chance to chase GT3's at the track...catch em on the straights, they lose me on the corners with the Goodyears or the HRE comp set up with the Bridgestone REO50's. Hoosiers is a different story...run away from them...until the GT...

    Owner Review: Ford GT vs. F430 (Long, with Photos)

    Nice write up in your original post. I was able to drive my manual 6 speed 430 spider this week on the track. Much better stock tires to stock tires in comparison. I only disagree with you on the GT understeering on the track?? Mine oversteers ....I put bigger tires in the rear to try to bring...

    Why own a Ferrari?

    The 599 is awesome.....but whew...the price ...driving in Houston , there is a good chance of something happening to a car....between bad drivers, crappy roads, and debris in the roads..I have had a palm tree, a car hood, and a battery fall in front of me on the freeway ( all in the same car...
