I just got back from the Multimatic MK IV delivery / track day at COTA and I'm still grinning from ear to ear. Driving the MK IV for my first time today, I set - shattered, really - the COTA GT car lap record by 1.5 2 seconds! The MK IV is superlative - friendly, communicative, and absolutely...

765 was competently driven and on slicks. It was a surprisingly even match - the 765 was of course faster on the straights, the GT4 was quicker in the corners and, to a lesser extent, braking. We ended up running lap times less than 0.5s apart.

Should be perfect for those Hooked on Driving days at the local track...

800HP. Light. More downforce. Updated chassis & sequential trans. Said to be faster than a full-on GTLM car, without the special tires. Oh, and drop-dead gorgeous. What a swan song for the GT!

https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2022/01/28/ford-performance-mustang-gt3-race-car.html Should be good for 1:25s at Laguna Seca - lower, if they can get me a derestricted version...

Took the Mustang to Sonoma Raceway today. Ran with a group of exotic cars (McLarens, Porsche GT3 Cup, etc.) Set what appears to be the lap record for a Mustang at Sonoma. Car ran perfectly all day. Good times.

I think it suits the car

Turns out, turbos like cool air. One of the other cars at the track posted this funny clip which put the speed in perspective:

I think you guys will like this one. 60F weather, fresh tires, and a dialed-in setup made for one very speedy Mustang at Laguna Seca yesterday. The pass on the 911 GT3 Cup was just icing on the cake :)

Title says it all - more driver experience and some setup progress on the GT4, dropped the lap times into 1:31 despite the heat here in NorCal. Enjoy!

Had a great stint at Buttonwillow today chasing a Lamborghini Super Trofeo around the track, and through some traffic which provided context for just how fast we were going. Both cars turned 1:46 laps (mine was a 1:46.28 on the MoTec) and great fun was had. Enjoy!

Delivery ETA: 1.17.20 2900 lbs. >700HP. More aero than the GTLM car. Yea, I'm excited!

I spent Black Friday at Laguna Seca for the NorCal Shelby Club track day. Lots of Mustang GT350s, but also everything from Vipers to a McLaren 570 to Corvettes. It rained off and on during the track day, but here was a nice dry session with only moderate traffic. (note as usual, I need part...

Had a fun Saturday at Buttonwillow with American Muscle Cup. It was beastly hot, but the GT4 ran without a hitch and eventually it was the driver rather than the car which had heat soak :) Enjoy!

It's even better in person. But it's damn good in cellphone photos.

Visited buttonwillow racetrack today in the GT4. Took the first session to try to learn the track (haven't driven there since 2001). Second session was a time attack round. Laps weren't nearly perfect, but they were still quick enough to win outright fastest lap of the day. Forget all that...

Local Shelby club had a black Friday "Turkey Bowl" track event at Laguna Seca. It rained the entire day. No matter - the Mustang on Michelin P2Ls was unflappable through wet corners, streams across the apex, and mud in T9. I ended up turning in a pair of 1:42.0 laps despite the usual T5-T6 wait...

... well, everything else :) It's interesting to see where the GT4 makes up the most time compared to some quick street cars.

... but somehow I don't think you guys will object :)

I've been experimenting with assembling panoramas. This one turned out well. I tried uploading the full-size pic to a few photo hosting sites, but it crashes every one I've tried :D Thus you'll have to download the JPEG to view the full-size image...

Hate me all you want -- you've gotta love this car!

Healthy numbers for the "low power" 808HP configuration :) Should be 753 RWHP on race gas in the "track" 840HP configuration.

I'll let the video footage do the talking. Good times were had :)

... around Sonoma Raceway. On slicks. In a Boss 302S. It was a good day :D

When red mist and inexperience, uh, collide:
