This is the best deal in one I’ve seen for a turnkey track setup to go fast, you could go with a code red but they’re actually a lot slower and have been selling closer to 500K

I was thinking race track not drag strip. Handling/ power balance.

how much horsepower does $250K get u?

 

[Q6543]

Oh I’d gues that car is at least in the 2500HP range… maybe making 3k

for road racing just go with a GT350R, find the cheapest one with a clean title history and run it.

nothing else would compare, my brother had one, I don’t like them, but if you’re really gonna track it, that’s the only option… the R.

Analog car, don’t get one with sink heat issues or all those modes with electrics. Get an 07-10 Shelby. I love my little Shelby GT but yeah, only 460hp but that makes it more fun!

How does it handle and brake on the track?

Have 6 piston Baer on all 4 corners so braking is overkill so it will stop. Should really have a brake bias controller installed but not that bad. I also installed the clutch and brake isolator so you aren’t running the same line for both. I also run Toyo slicks at the track but I do put the Alcoas on with Michelin SS for street driving. It’s loud. Used to be the loudest car at the FL tracks for a number of years before everyone started getting these dual mode exhausts in 2014-2015! Lol

Nice looking car.
Does it have SiriusXM radio?
That could be a dealbreaker.

The GT350 is the obvious answer here. I believe the 2019-20 cars are more desirable due to thr suspension upgrades. Just be careful as many of them get beat to hell on the track and traded in. Prices on them have been softening a bit. Im not sure what you want to spend, but they are still a little spendy and may not be what you consider a value.

I'd also consider the 2012-13 Boss 302. While not a Shelby, they are excellent track cars and you can get them cheaper than a GT350.

the Boss 302 is an excellent choice… have a soft spot for those!
