Highly, highly recommend picking one up if you can afford it. It's an extremely even mannered car stock. This is the OEM setup from Ford and it has about 30 hours on it. I come from a grip car background (200hp, 2800 lb car) and this car runs so well using the same techniques. Only slight against it would be fuel costs because you need to run race gas in it which is currently like $14/gallon.

Yes, in order to make the next left hander you have to track all the way out to the wall normally and he gave me "racing room". You'll hear me hesitate on the throttle as I came up beside him because he kept coming over and I was ready to get on the brakes. This stuff happens in racing, and it happens so quickly that you don'e even really think or worry about it usually.

Are you running long pipe headers? Sounds narly

No it's a stock FP350S which is very similar to a GT350.

🤣🤣🤣

Thanks!

Only 3

It's multi-class racing so it's a mix of faster/slower cars. Ahead of me on the start was quite a few fast cars like Porsche GT3 cup cars & some unlimited power Mustangs. Due to my previous lap time from the day before it put me back in the pack behind "basically stock" Mustang GT's. Behind me was a whole group of early 2000's Camaro's and Mustangs that are way slower and I eventually lap too. Makes for quite the fun adventure!

​@ryanfrahm776 bro what's the process in becoming a racer like yourself

@@rival3825 You can get your comp license through several clubs here in the USA. I went through NASA's HPDE program. There are 4 levels, you start at 1, and when you get to 4 you can test for your comp license which allows you to do wheel to wheel racing. From there any organization honors the NASA comp license pretty much and you're good to go. I bought a wrecked BRZ several years ago for cheap, fixed it up, and use that as my learner car... Which I HIGHLY recommend because it forces you to learn how to be fast otherwise you get gapped. Then when you show up in a competitive car you eat the field alive like in this video. Also, make friends with everyone in the paddock because that's how you get drives in other cars.

Thanks! It's so much fun it should be illegal.

The owner of the car raced it the day before and the fastest spec iron car set a faster lap time then him, which is why I had to start behind them for my races. In the 2nd race of mine you will see I started ahead of spec iron just behind the BMW's due to my lap time.

Yeah this is multi-class racing and so that's why there are faster and slower cars around me.

Thanks!

It is a blast!

Yes it is! I come from racing a little BRZ with 180hp so this is a welcome change haha

@@ryanfrahm776 I raced a Honda CRX in SCCA ITA. Maybe 110hp but 2100 lbs. Fun but it does get boring after awhile. Specially when SCCA raised my weight by 110lbs.

@@ryanfrahm776 How does it compare with the BRZ for grip though?

@@FairladyS130 Actually this car is very evenly mannered, even more than the BRZ. You'd think that it wants to kill you at every corner, but no, it's really pleasant to drive. If the BRZ had the same suspension setup, tires, brakes & electronic steering it would be better mostly likely because of it being 500lbs less. Highly recommend a BRZ for learning.

@@ryanfrahm776 Interesting. Yes, with big power comes the big challenge not just to drive fast in a straight line.

He actually lapped me lol. He was in the unlimited class and was really freaking fast.

Thanks!

Yes correct, although that horsepower number is crank... It puts out just below 460hp to the wheels.

Thanks! It's always a blast racing out there.

You either concentrate or wreck it so a pretty easy choice haha

It's a 5.2 Voodoo with a cross plane crank and it's using the Tremec 3160.

Thanks!

Yeah I wouldn't treat my own car like this... like r u crazy 👀
