[QUOTE="JAJ, post: 16585720, member: 131874"] A couple of comments, based on my history with a 2014 GT500 Track Pack and a 2016 GT350 Track Pack: 1. I used the GT500 as a daily and as a road circuit car. It was great on the track - good grip, balanced, acceleration and braking were stellar. For a nose-heavy S197, it was surprisingly easy to drive fast around corners. 2. I upgraded the electronics in my 2016 GT350 to 2017 stuff, so it's like a 2017 from a daily perspective. For the track, it's easier to drive fast than the GT500, but it's not a lot faster. The GT500 had so much torque that you could leave it in 3rd and just drive, where you have to shift the GT350 to get the same level of performance. The GT350 is faster in the corners than the GT500, but not by a lot, and the torque out of the corners in the GT500 is a great leveler. I did an overlay of data from a local track where I'd turned roughly equal lap times in both cars. My corner-to-corner times were quicker in the GT500 because I didn't need to shift, and I was compensating for the lost time shifting the GT350 by going just a hair faster through the corners. As for the extended warranty from Ford, I believe it's only available for cars that are still under the 3-year bumper-to-bumper warranty. Mine's extended to 8 years, by the way. [/QUOTE]
