All you Stang haters, here's another one for ya. Can a GT350 track down a lighter & faster C8 @ RA?

- Опубліковано 7 тра 2023
- Ok all you Stang haters, and there are plenty of you, here's another GT350 vs Corvette video for you. The C8 Corvette comes with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission with a 0-60 mph of sub 3 seconds coming in at 2.7-2.9 seconds. It's top track speed is 194 mph. This mid-engine beast of a car is a work of art and a very badass track car. Can I hang with it? Battle starts on lap 2! I met the driver afterwards and he was a super cool guy! Next stop Mid-Ohio. Enjoy and thanks for watching!

If you track, there’s never any hate. Just true appreciation for skill and genuine love for your fellow racer for even showing up. there’s so few of us
Respect!!
So true! I ran RA with my C5R-427 ~ 20 events, and by far the vast majority of drivers were all about the thrill of driving! You didn't see the fan bashing you see online...most of whom never drove a road course like RA.
@@Pmtd1234thats refreshing to hear!
@@Pmtd1234 Yup, that's what separate the men from the boys.
You forgot about driver ability.
I was just going to mention that. You beat me to it. 😂👍
Yes. I would get lapped by all those cars... while driving any of those cars
Yes, in my experience, the skill level of the driver is EVERYTHING!
Yeah, it looks like vette guy may not be familiar with track, or his car. Either way kudos to driver of stang for having better lines, making maximum use of available grip and keeping his workload behind the wheel low (less correction to over/understeer)
When it’s the mustang driver that can’t drive ,you don’t say anything about the driver abilities. Always make excuses for Chevy junk!!!!
How can anyone hate a stang, in particular a GT350. I am still missing my GT350. It is an amazing capable and terrific track car. Love your video and driving. Well done.
Thank you Mr. Peter! Cheers good sir!!
Because of the insufferable fan boy, unskilled douches who are the vast majority of the people who own and drive them. That's why.
test drove one...the rev is insane...went with a c7 zo6 2019...ive since got rid of that.....wish i wouldmhave got a gt350
I hear ya buddy. The C7 Zo6 is a badass ride no doubt! Why did you get rid of it and did you replace it with anything? Thanks for the comment!
It's Ford oversteer. That I hate.
Let's be honest here. This has nothing to do with the cars, and everything to do with the drivers.
That Volvo P1800 was sweet.
You noticed that? Yes indeed, that was a badass car. Very cool driver/owner too!
That 60 year old starter car for you (the Volvo P1800) still looked pretty darn strong.
A talented driver at his finest. Mad respect.
Thank you for the kind words Mr. Anthony! It's greatly appreciated sir!
You drive that Stang very, very well. I have a C7 Z06 and when on track I probably don't push it as hard as I could. "Lesser" cars might beat me on the track, but most likely because I am the one driving it.
Thank you for the kind words Chris. You have an unbelievable car. I know you're proud of it. I love the Zo6!!
The bottom line is driving home in one piece! I never drove at the limit of my car (680 HP C5R-427) either.
i love the part when the porsches go by and you start driving on the limit 😂
They basically slapped him across the back of the head and ran lol
LMAO!! Indeed they did. I know cause I was there!! Lol. Just wish I could afford one. Hard to pay $200k+ for a car.
@@kierre35LMAO....ok, but u have to remember...weight plays a massive role too as does manual trans.
@@kierre35 I was impressed with the GT350 and it's power, right up until.......the Porsche flew by him! My eyes popped outta my head. LOL!!!
@@316racingchannel9 the ole 350 does just fine compared to a nearly double to priced counterpart. Plus that flat plane crank sound surpasses any porsche sound...sorry not sorry
Not enough context, Driver ability and tires plays a huge factor. Either way good driving!
GT350s are track gods. And GTs can be phenomenal IF it’s setup right and has a good driver. If you’re used to shoving the shifter into D, dumping clutches for fun, driving an Ecoboost, or holding onto the wheel with one hand at the top Vin Diesel style, you gonna have a bad time on a real track
That P1800 is rad
NIce vid. When I attended the GT350 Track Attack I was really impressed with what the car could do. Not so much with me driving it, but the ride along with an instructor at the days end was enlightening.
I wish I had done that. I bet it was awesome man!! Very cool!
Awesome video! I enjoyed watching every lap.
Thanks buddy for the kind words!!
Snatched his soul❤
Excellent driving and fantastic beast of a car! Cheers brother!
Hell yea!! Respect brother!! 100% 👊🏻
GREAT video, love the later parts where you got aggressive!
Thanks buddy! Greatly appreciate it sir!
I have an older vette, your car is a beast, I appreciate all cars and drivers that compete, love your car's sound...Good luck in the future
Man thanks Big E!! I appreciate the kind words buddy. I appreciate all cars and drivers as well. Couldn't have said it better myself! Good luck to you as well, and thanks for stopping by Big E!
I loved it and you show real skill. I love my 08 supercharged Bullitt , but I am to old and far away from any tracks.
Thanks Mike! Appreciate you sir! I would love to see your car. I bet it's badass!! 👊🏻

THAT VOODOO MOTOR IS A BEAST
Thank you Wayne!!
I do love the sound of that GT350, and the normal Coyote engine.
Looks like you were leaving a little on the table at the hairpin before the long straight, but clearly doing something right overall.
Some of that traffic must have been frustrating.
Thanks buddy. I agree, always room for improvement, no doubt. Have a blessed day my friend!
Better action, watching this than actual the races. Great job.
Thanks Jerald! 👊🏻
i rode passenger in a corvette on that track with a retired Le Mans driver. never have i come closer to sh!tting my pants than on that back straight away. the car was traveling faster than i could visually process. the elevation changes at that speed felt like a roller coaster. was dizzy for an hour after i got out of the car. i still can't comprehend that experience.
LOL!!! I hear ya buddy. It's a trip no doubt. I would love to ride with a retired Le Mans driver. I bet that was incredible man! Appreciate the comment Jonathan and have a blessed day my friend!
It is so interesting that as I am watching you race I am gasing and braking with MY feet for you!😆
I love it!! That's too funny man. Thanks for the comment!
And im pulling into the belts under hard braking at the back straight!
Thanks for not putting music I don’t like over the music I love!
I hear ya!!!
this POV is perfect
Love Road Atlanta, been going since it was built. Had to speed up to 2X for the second half of the vid so the back straight at 150 appeared at 300 mph. What a rush it was for me to watch as it was for the stang to drive. Thanks for posting.
Very cool! Thanks man!!
I never thought the 'Vette was too cool, until a few years ago, with the C8 introduction. It really is a work of art. And you make me appreciate the 'Stang. I never thought too much of it- they always seemed squirrely. But, man, yours sounds great, and your racing line is even better. You are a very very good driver.
Man thanks dude! I appreciate the kind words buddy! Hope you have a blessed day.
Thanks for the ride along
This is something that I have wanted to do all my life! Never had the money or connections to get into racing. From the first days watching some guys build a stock car when I was only 14, all I have wanted to do is race. Dad said no, we don't have the money (we didn't even mention it to mother!). I am 72 now, and after looking at the histories of race drivers, I have come to this conclusion. You have to start early (4 or 5) and you have to have parents that like racing and have the money to get you started in Karts or carts. Even if you are only a mediocre driver, you are still ahead of 90% of the other drivers. Skill is learned, rarely a given. Can you tell that I am a frustrated driver? I wish with all my heart that I would have been given the chance to become a race driver.
Everything you said Rodney is so true sir. Parents are starting their kids off in competitive Karting at ages 4 and 5 just like you said. It's crazy but smart. It's never too late buddy. I have friends doing this stuff in their 70's and I know one gentleman in his 80's that's out there getting after it. I hope you have a blessed weekend Mr. Jaynes and thank you for commenting!
You're not too old my man. Go to a car meet, make some friends... tell them that you want to work on a race car.
If you were near me, I would go out and buy a engine hoist, a stand, rip out the engine from my newest acquisition and say, let's get on this!
That's a regular track driving, not racing. And people doing that and let's say GT racing are more often 40+ at least...
Never too late to try, HPDE could be pretty affordable on let's say Miata.
@BrHH772 Couldn't agree more. Well said sir...
Turn 6… probs don’t need the downshift, and carry more apex speed/momentum… and use ALL that track out there on the exit! Also a little late and slow on the last turn to the back straight… which is one of the most important turns at Road Atlanta, if you don’t get that turn right your loosing time the entire back straight.
But with my back seat driver comments aside, you look pretty smooth!
Thanks for the tips buddy. Greatly appreciated!! 👊
More backseat (was F&C a long time ago at RA). On 5, hug the curbing on 5 before you turn in for a late apex. You dove in a little too early a couple of times. A few pro drivers will touch the curbing on the right before cutting in. That gives you the extra speed into 6 as you struggle up hill on 5.
What do you drive and what kind of lap times do you put down? When was the last time you drove RA? Thanks
@@316racingchannel9 question was probs for the other guy… I’ve only driven Road Atlanta in a simulator. But I’ve driven Road American, The Glen, Mid Ohio, Brainerd in a 95’ Porsche 993 (purely built for the track) and a little bit of seat time in a 996 GT3 Cup car.
Haven’t been on the track at all in about ten years though. Lost my seat and track buddy when my Dad passed. These days I just get my fix in iRacing lol.
@cjsawinski oh man I bet that 95' Porsche was a blast! Sorry to hear about your dad. I lost my dad 6 years ago and my mom earlier this year back in late January. So I feel ya. I have buddies that do the I Racing and just love it. You can learn a ton doing that. It's an art for sure. Hope you have a blessed day buddy!
Good laps ou tthere partner. Car looks and sounds amazing. What telemetry system are you using with this video? Is it all with the Garmin Catalyst?
Thank you buddy! Yes sir it is. It's all the Garmin Catalyst.
Dude you are flying out there, great laps at RA
Thanks Grant! 👊🏻
I just found your channel. I’m getting my car ready 2016 Roush Stage 3 but modded up, it’s at Steeda now getting the works. I’m gonna start working on my racing license this summer.
Anyway, I can’t wait to be ripping it up like you! Hard to believe I’ve waited 44 years for this.
I look forward to
Congratulations buddy! You are gonna have a blast!!
Great video. Great driving. Enjoyed every minute of it.
Thank you Mr. Ken! Greatly appreciate that sir!!
Little slide around that 500 at about 7:15?
You're pretty careful around some of the curves where I would be inclined to more throttle, unless there's that much more power?
Thank you for taking us racing with you -- love the video!
Thank you for the kind words Mister Lackey!
Most of the turns on that track are trickier than they look.
Nice job, great video!
Thanks Joe! Appreciate the kind words buddy! 👊🏻
I love the GT350! Awesome driving videos!
Thanks Scott! Have a great weekend buddy b
Great Job bro! Looks like you had quite a bit more relative in you if clean track was available. Hope to run into you this season.
Thanks brother man! We definitely need to hook up at a track and get some laps in!
Love, love, love everything about the C8 Vette...except the sound. If you close your eyes you would think a GMC pickup just drove past. The plain jane sound of the Stingray is just so ordinary, while it's looks are spectacular. I do love the sound of your (and my) GT350. I'll take a manual and a glorious engine note over the looks of the Vette at this point. Now if the ZO6 was reachable, that's a different story. Anyway, keep up the videos, really great to watch, especially with the sound turned up.
100%! Couldn't agree more buddy. The C8 is a work of art, and the C8 Z06 especially is just unreal but way out of my price range unfortunately. Thanks for the kind words my friend! Have a great week!
You and your GT 350 are a great Racing-Team 👍👍
Those Porsches BLISTER!
Dude, those are my favorite tracks cars they are unbelievable. Just wish I could afford one.
You can run down anything if it doesn’t have a driver
I love my '18 Mustang GT on the track, and its pretty respectable. But its nothing compared to the GT350. Going from highway driving to aggressive track days is a big learning curve, so I was grateful to my fellow SCCA members for some coaching to hone those skills.
Great respect to this driver for not being too aggressive, not overheating the brakes and tires, and for finding the right lines.
Thank you sir for the kind words! Respect 100% 👊🏻
If you are a Mustang hater, you are not a car guy... I don't care what you like and drive Mustang is a legend and you should have a respect. I track 2011 GT with live axle and I love it. I have passed many faster Corvettes and Porsches but that also depends on driver skill and experience levels
You did a good job! I experienced those frustrations in traffic.
I miss track days at RA! Back in the day when Panoz ran track days they nicknamed my car "The Corvette on Steroids." Sure was fun.
Thank you sir for the kind words. I bet your car was a beast!! When you say RA are you talking about Road Atlanta or Road America?
@@316racingchannel9 Road Atlanta. I miss those days. I am in the queue for a C8 Z06 to get back driving there.
@Pmtd1234 Wow man! The C8 Z06 just might be the badest car on the planet right now. What a work of art! I run Road Atlanta all the time. I'm actually a member there. I love the track! PLEASE reach out to me when you get your C8 Z06! I would love to see it and see it perform on track. Like I said, it's a work of art buddy!
@@316racingchannel9 Road Atlanta is a great track. The Z06 seems to be a premier track car; just hope I can do it justice.
Nice! Those 911s a4r running A LOT of boost.
That little Volvo P1800 was looking pretty respectable out there.
They have every reason to be faster, you only needed one. Nice work!
Thanks Clint! 👊🏻
Nice! Dig the 8250 rpm. Yet to get mine out on the track.
Holy sh*t, the sound. Manual transmission GT350 kicking MAJOR ASS!! They'll likely never offer a car like this again
Respect! 👊🏻
stangs are cool, the new pony cars are like an F-4 Phantom, 150+ down the back straight is awesome for sure
My God, what a symphony ❤️
Lmao!! Too funny! 🏎💨
I just realized that was me you passed - along with the porsches at the 10:15 mark. Must have been happy hour.
Man awesome driving! I have a corvette and had and love mustangs !
Thanks buddy! I love the corvette and stangs too. American made! 🇺🇲🇺🇲
Love it! Both nice cars, come on up to New England next year and lets have some fun on track:)
I'm all in!! I am hitting Watkins Glenn next year for sure. 👊🏻
@316racingchannel9 We will be at Watkins Glen August 26th-27th with COM Sports Car Club for time trials. Hopefully we will see you there!
@103familyracing love it!!!
That car has so much more then the driver gave it… keep the revs up, that’s where your power is.
Great driving. One day after I'm done raising and putting my kids through college this will become my hobby ;)
Thank you, good sir! That's pretty much what I did. Once my kids were grown for the most part, I jumped into Motorsports as my hobby. Haven't looked back since, and I'm addicted to it!
@@316racingchannel9 Yep, I hear it's very addicting which is why I'm patiently waiting. Glad you're enjoying it
Well done man! Wish I could’ve made this one. One day we will be there the same day and we can have some fun. I’m guessing this was the “happy hour”?
It was. We ran in the same run group too and played around some during our sessions as well. The C8 is a badass car and the driver was a super cool guy...
GT350 just blasting with a great driver, looked to me like the corvette driver was still getting comfortable with the car, I want to see you lap time them both back to back 😂
what tires are on the car? I would have thought you would hang with the porches a little bit. still a very cool car. everyone loves high revving v8.
I run the Goodyear 3R's. How bout you buddy, what do you drive?
Very good driving, good lines, good understanding of the vehicle. You are taking a lot of these turns at speeds that people are still working up to on much lighter cars. Hope to encounter on track and let you by on my miata 😂😂😂
Sounds great my friend. You get out to Road Atlanta? Thank you for the very kind words and hope you have a blessed day!! 👊🏻
@@316racingchannel9 I was there Friday with HOD, driven the track a handful of times though. For now, I shall be back there in December with NASA. Got a video of my PB from this past event if you’d like to check out.
And like to give credit where credit is due! Saw your latest video and improvements have definitely been made!
@EFLO787 Thanks Eladio! Hope to meet you soon buddy!
Hotlanta! Recognise it off Gran Turismo. I am British and prefer Brands Hatch, but once I learned it, I found this track fun and do well at it. It's one of those I tend to do well at. Much better in real life of course!
The exhaust sound from both the GT and the GT350 are awesome! (And I own an 03 Z06 Corvette!😄)
100%!!! 👊🏻
Good laps! :34/35 in a 350 is movin’. C8’s punch above their weight and I’d guess :32 or better capable at RAtl on fast rubber. I ran a :34.3 on R7’s in mine during my first visit this fall. Enjoy!
absolutely loved the video. what track was this
Thanks man and thank you for the kind words! That's Road Atlanta. Awesome track!!
Nice work and lovely sound. I'm not a Ford or mustang guy, but GT350 is a sweet car. I run an M3 and appreciate a lot of different cars.
Love the M3. My buddy has a 2011 M3 with the V8 and it is a beast!! Love that car
@@316racingchannel9 I have an F80 M3 with a tune + other mods. Also love the Catalyst. Only got to use it once so far. Great tool.
@Jim Allison indeed it is. I was using Track Addict prior to buying the catalyst. It was ok but not near as good as the Garmin. You're right, great tool!
What I’m worried about more than the C8 is that white Cobra R with the black spoiler at the beginning when you came out on the track! Where did that thing go?
I don't know where he went. I went looking for him once our session was over and couldn't find him. That thing was badass!!
I like your channel. Cool car. How are you enjoying your catalyst? I couldn’t be happier with mine. I wish they’d at an OBD reader but I’d gladly give that up to not have to deal with AIM software
Thanks buddy! I greatly appreciate that. I love the Catalyst for sure. Very easy to operate etc. A couple things they could work on in my opinion is the battery life and the sound recording. With windows down it gets pretty bad. Not sure how to combat that. I tried putting some foam over the mic, but it didn't work. Really like it, though. Are you on the Garmin app? Thanks for the kind words, Fearless Liter. Love the name, btw... 👊🏻
@@316racingchannel9 thanks. I used to track a liter bike. Should change it to fearless3liter now. 😬 for sound, I put a mic wrapped in foam in the engine compartment. Then I honk during my session and later sync the hood audio with the garmin audio. Then bring the Garmin audio negative infinity so I only hear the hood source. My most recent video is the best sounding one so far. Next time I’ll dial the gain on my h2n a bit and I’m still trying to get a good second channel from the rear to bring in the overrun sound. It’s a work in progress
Nice bit of driving! I did hear a moment of the red mist in there.
In addition to driver ability, aero plays a big part.
Thank you Mr. John! And totally agree on the aero... 👊🏻
Excellent driving .. you are a highly skilled race car driiver for sure ...
That C8 Corvette is a work of art and perhaps the finest sports car America and certainly Chevrolet ever produced for the public and I own a 2020 Shelby GT350 Signature Edition ... and would not trade it for a C8 Corvette ... I don't like the view ...
My dad raced a 61 Vette and won Corvette Driver of the year in 1962 and was a member of the New England SCCA for decades.
But ... Let's give this amazing driver his just due. He is a better driver than the driver in the C8. But my fellow GT350 owner and race driver makes it look easy navigating that smooth tremec 6 speed while rev match downshifting around this demanding track.
While the C8 has an automatic and and easier time to navigate the track, but the 350 produces better drivers if they get enough seat time ...
I have a long way to go in that department.
Its perhaps the last old school car America will ever produce and the GT350 is the best NA Mustang Ford ever produced for the public.
The ford performance race version of the GT350 is also a work of art ($114,000 and probably a whole lot more now) and would easily smoke the C8 and most other cars due to weight reduction and the tune. A 116 Octane tune produces 150 + additional HP for the 350.
Then of course we have the C8 Z06 and C7 Z71 Corvettes that are at the top of the charts and also our Viper ... tops of the track .. But I love the GT350 and love rolling through gears ...
Well said buddy.... 👊🏻
Looking forward to your Mid-Ohio video, that's my home track and I might be there 6/12.
Shoot buddy, I'm gonna be there Monday 5/29 & Tuesday 5/30 Memorial Day weekend with Chin. I wish you'd be there. I could use some advice and would love to ride with you to learn the line. It will be my first time running at Mid-Ohio. I'm super pumped about it. Any pointers or videos you want to throw my way would be awesome! Thanks man!
@@316racingchannel9 ahh man, I think you're gonna like MO, there are some similarities to RA. Big tip, if it's wet/raining forget about it; the surface is like wet ice. It's technical but can be driven hard once you learn where you can get aggressive.
The guy in the C8 isn't the smoothest driver out there to be honest. He's upsetting the chassis pretty violently in a few of the corner entries !!!
Dude in the c8 is having fun. Kickin out the rear in the corner. You got it wrong people just want to play.
love the gt350 but that c8...was like GAppleby's until it slowdown. never the less impressive.
Damn RA is a scary fast track. Good job.
Thank you sir. You're right, RA is a fast track for sure!
That was well worth the 20 minutes. I love that track. Got to do around 30 laps over the years, parade laps, paid a couple bucks, before they enforced speed limits at the Mitty. 90s, had a blast. I like 3-6, 10a and b. That first time under the bridge will grab your stomach coming down that slightly off camber right trying to get on it... Nice driving, well worth the watch. A P1800, Vette, Porsche, was waiting for a bike to fly by at turn 9 haha!
Thank you Ian for the kind words sir! It's greatly appreciated. I love those turns as well. I need to work on all those. We'll get there though and yes, going under the bridge and down the hill to 12 still gets my gut every single time! It's quite the rush. Thanks Ian! 👊🏻
Gt350 is a monster
Thanks my brother!! 👊🏻
Your welcome
@316 wow you have a sweet sounding GT350. Sick..... Dude can you please tell him what your camera/microphone and data overlay system you are using. Thanks.
Of course man... it's the Garmin Catalyst. Go to Garmin.com and you can read all about it. It's about $1k for the whole set up.
@@316racingchannel9 Awesome Thank-you very much :)
Anytime brother!
Wow 👏👏👏 blue oval ftw
Great driving. Looks likes fun. What ever happened to the white S197 on the 1st lap, he/she was killing it too!
I don't know buddy. He got off track for some reason and never got back on...
the only stangs people hate on are the GT's and v6's lmao, the shelbys are a different beast.
Love your videos man, glad you’re getting some more views. It’s funny how videos with these provocative titles get the most views… probably bc they bring out all the haters 😂 I’ll be at RA for the 1st time with my GT350 in June with NASA. I would love to ride along in your car if you’re back at AMP or RA. I know I’d learn a lot!
Thanks buddy! Definitely get you in for some laps at Road Atlanta. You are gonna love it. It's a fast track for sure! Be safe out there!!
@@316racingchannel9 thanks! When is the next time you’ll be at RA?
Friday, June 23rd, is my next member day, so I'll definitely be there that day. I'm considering Friday, June 9th, with Just Track It and then doing NASA that Saturday and Sunday. I talked to both JTI and NASA yesterday, and they still have openings. I'm trying to work it out. I have Mid-Ohio, not this weekend, but next on Memorial Day weekend. Not sure if I can have the car ready by the NASA event. I'll need new tires, rotors, and brake pads after 2 days at Mid-Ohio. I'm gonna try though buddy!! 🏎💨🏁
@@316racingchannel9 makes sense, sounds like you’ll be having fun regardless of what happens. Hope to see you at NASA’s event! If not there, hopefully soon!
I'd consider myself a Corvette "fanboy" but I don't show any hate for anything else that's American built. Those GT350's are "Hooked Up!" like Randy Pobst said during it's release of the car back when Ford had but one purpose for it, to beat the Camaro Z28 in every way possible. And in all rights, they did just that. Personally, I love the GT350's, I'd get one if I could afford one. Looking at an 08-10 C6 Z06 currently within a 35k-38k range for price which would land about half of one of those Shelby's. Carol would be proud of what that car has been able to accomplish.
As far as the C8 being lighter and faster, yeah, with the right driver it is. The driver makes the car, the car does not make the driver. You my friend, can drive better than your average Vette driver can. Soon as I get that C6Z, I'll be sure to post some videos of me ripping it around Willow Springs as I have a 1:38.2 lap time to beat there (posted that in my 17 ZL1 on street tires).
Great video bud, I look forward to looking through the others you have on here.
Thanks big man! Appreciate you big time!! 👊🏻
The late Bob Bondurant's #5 Cobra Daytona Coupe with a carbureted 4.7 liter 289 and just a 4 speed, hit 197 on the Mulsanne Straight in 1964! 🤠🏆🏁
looks like the C8 had bad or worn tires. sliding in almost every corner
He did. Very cool guy driving the C8!!
Or cold tires since he just entered the track.
Hell, what impressed me most was the Type-R keeping pace with the field.
No doubt man. Those Type-R's are badass machines for sure! Have a blessed day sir!
And the P1800... love the old red block Volvos... way underrated...
@CaptainSeamus no doubt man!
Flat plane crank vs flat plane crank🇺🇸🏁🏴☠️
100%!!!! 👊🏻
Buddy ran a 1.38 in a factory stock 2017 Camaro SS 1LE, not impressed. What tire are you on?
Nice driving. The "X" stickers on the rear bumper usually means they're new to the sport or have less than a few track days under their belt. We use those stickers here in the Northeast for the private groups
Thank you good sir! Yes, you are correct. That gentleman was new to the game and had an instructor with him. That was a combined session at the end of the day of all group levels. What do you drive? Happy New Year!
@@316racingchannel9 Happy New Year! I drive a gr supra, green group (beginner)
Oh man, what a track car!!! Congrats on that. I know a few guys that drive those, and they love em!!
@@316racingchannel9 Thanks! I had it for a while with 2 track days under my belt. They're fun cars out the box
What kind of Mustang was that at 10:20 ish?
Sweet vid !
Is the gt350 stock? tuned?
Thanks buddy! Stock motor but has headers, full exhaust, and is tuned. I'm considering going e85 to squeeze out a little more, but we'll see. I don't have a ton of e85 stations near me quite yet, so may wait... 👊🏻
Good run!
Thanks Gerald!
@@316racingchannel9 , I'll see you on the track one of these days.
Yes sir! Come find me...
I enjoyed every second of this video. Fantastic car on a fantastic track, and I can tell you were really extracting almost everything you can (safely) extract from a GT350, excellent work! Seemed like there was lots of traffic though, maybe a big run group? I was surprised to see everything from "Sunday drivers" to full on GT3/Ferrari race cars, that's quite a big mix too. Damn near impossible to find the space to get a clean lap in. Even Lap 7 your session best had that GT3 that cost you about 1.3 seconds ("come ON!!" lol)
Oh and, can I ask what exhaust setup you have? Seems to have that banshee scream overtone common with headers. Sounds bitchin' regardless. :) Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Big Tex! Appreciate the kind words sir. The car has American Racing Headers with American Racing full exhaust. It's a little different but I like it. 👍🏻
What track is this? Im starting to track here in mid Michigan @ Grattan and Gingerman raceways. Thx
@randygentry6746 hey Randy! Congratulations on getting into the sport! That's at my home track Road Atlanta. I'm a member there. What car are you tracking?
that cobra at 0:33 was pretty cool (idk if it was a real cobra or not but i havent seen one built like that) its good to see people change it up and build something that looks different from every other (like my car lmao)
Lol I hear ya man. That thing was badass though. That guy did a shit load of work to it obviously. Appreciate the comment buddy!
@@316racingchannel9 oh yea, i want to take my car out there one day just for shits and giggles tbh. what all would i have to do to get in?
Where do you live? Do you have a track near by?
@@316racingchannel9 i’m in baxley, i was thinking either AMS or where y’all were at but other than those two idk of any
@slo4.6 ok. Go to chintrackdays.com. You can sign up for an event at Road Atlanta for the Novice group with an instructor. With it being your first time you will be required to have an instructor ride with you for the day which is a good things. An instructor will be able to teach you a ton. It's how everybody starts. Check out their website. If you have anymore questions just holler at me buddy. 👊🏻
I clicked on this and thought, this isn’t Road America. It’s RATL haha.
Yea, I was afraid somebody might think that. I ran out of room for the title. They only give you 100 spaces for your title, so I had to shorten it up where I could. It's right on 100 spaces. Road America is on the bucket list, though, so hopefully, one day...
Kick ass video. But I do have one question.. What are both cars running as far as tires? It seems that the 350 has a better series tire than the vette. Regardless great content. Keep em coming.
Thank you for the kind words sir! I was running the Goodyear Super Car 3R's. Not sure what the C8 was on. Chances are the same as me. Goodyear has a contract with Chevy. At least did...
Sick ride. Anyone have tips for getting started with scca?
I can help you buddy. What part of the country do you live in and what's the closest track to ya?
@@316racingchannel9 road Atl is 30-40 mins away from where I live. Any advice helps. Thanks.
@teemeaux3830 If you are dead set on running an SCCA event, they do a Track Night in America each year at Road Atlanta. That would be a good one to start out with. It's cheap and only one day, but what I would advise to do is to do a 2 day event with either Chin Track Days or with Just Track It. Both go to Road Atlanta on a regular basis. You will need to sign up just as soon as they open registration if you are a novice. The novice group always fills up super fast cause a lot of guys are getting into Motorsports. You also need to pay a small additional fee to have a driving instructor spend the 2 days with you. The organization putting on the event will provide the Driving instructor for you. You just have to pay for him or her. Once you do an event or 2, you will then move up a group that does not require you to have an instructor ride with you. But having an instructor out of the gate is a good thing. You will learn a lot.
I'm only about 50 minutes away from Road Atlanta. I'm in Canton just north of Marietta and Kennesaw. When I sign up to do Road Atlanta again, which will be this fall, if you want me to let you know, I'll message you on here and tell you which one I'm doing. I could help you at the track as well. I'd be happy to if it's something you're interested in. Hope this helps buddy. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I'll help you out anyway I can. Just let me know...
@@316racingchannel9 goated reply. Appreciate the info. I’ll look these guys up. Looking to get out there sometime this year. So yea if you do remember let me know.
@teemeaux3830 I know for certain I will be doing Road Atlanta the weekend right after Thanksgiving with Chin Trackdays. I never miss that weekend. It's a tradition with me and some other GT350 owners. With Chin, events go on sale typically 8 weeks in advance of the event on a Monday night at 9:00 pm. With Chin in particular, you need to be sitting at your laptop at 9:00 pm on that Monday night ready to sign up with a credit card and pay when 9:00 pm hits. If you try and get on at 9:10 to pay you can forget it. The novice group will be sold-out in the matter of minutes.
Mate, you're giving me confidence that my upcoming Dark Horse might do quite well at the tracks 😊
Dark Horse is gonna be a badass ride my friend!
@316 RACING CHANNEL I'm just using my little GR Yaris Rallye to set some PB which I'll try and beat in a DH 👌👌🙂
I'm doing pretty fine with my 2011 GT so of course you will do great. People think Mustangs still handle like they did in 70s but they are great
Couldn't agree more! 👊🏻
Hot lapping verses racing. Vintage open track? Enjoy your car! Would be cool to see you get with a more 350's of similar performance. We are building a new stang currently for SCCA /NASA. It will be a nice change. Porche will be the next step up. Stay safe..
Love it buddy! Thanks and will do. You be safe out there as well and good luck!!
This is a video game right?
