Future Tech GT350R Spotted At Mid-Ohio

[Donkey]

The front end doesn't look right to be a 500. I don't see the big ass coolers that would be needed. That is unless they were able to hide them and still be functional. Did anyone take a photo of the shifter? If it was an automatic, there may be something to this theory.

I took these photographs. The car was a stick. I will post info later. I had planned to make a post when I had time to resize and upload the photographs and explain what info I had gathered from the engineer whom it belongs to etc.

I'd be interested to know the story behind the wing. Just as someone had mentioned, it looks like a 500 wing.

How did it sound? I was recently at the track attack and there was a black R running the west course that did not have the FPC sound. Coincidence? Maybe not.....

You sure it was this one that was running?

I've talked to a number of them at the IMSA races including some from Ford, Roush and Roush/Yates. I'm interested to see if it is one of them or somebody else.

Actually really digging that wing. Ive been eying the APR 200 drag wing as an alternative - not that I dont like the R wing - but thats not what I want to do.

Any more information on that wing?

It's a gt4 wing with low mount and different endplates... where those two items came from is up to you to figure out..

The R you heard at fprs has long tube headers but to my knowledge is still fpc. I can double check.

His name is Jeff, he didn't drive the car to the track but it is his test car. Real nice guy, as most seem to be. Oddly enough I took pictures of another one of his test R's in the same color at Mid-Ohio that has since been sent to the crusher.

There is apparently quite a few of these track rat test cars at Ford. What they are all used for exactly, I'm not sure and didn't pry for details. Oddly this car had a red r dash plaque but was not GR or HR.. instead it was just G0088.. but the window sticker lists it as an R. Pretty interesting what you'll find in the pits at these races. Especially one closer to Michigan, like the white Ford GT sitting behind it. There were at least 5 of them there that weekend.

Anything different with the other car that got crushed?

So, is that a CF door skin? BTW thanks for sharing the pics!

Nope. It was a show car then track toy.

Really really expensive. Not worth the multimatic price imo.

I have a blank trunk lid awaiting a new wing.

Hoping an aftermarket GT4/GT500 wing will be out at $2k price point rather than $12k. I can hope...

Finally ate at you enough eh?

And ate... and ate.... and ate....

But now I can dime you out!

I think you can get that center vent from Kohr and mount it in your existing hood. A guy on TMO did something similar.

Just out curiosity, why do you want it? Hood lift? Overheating?
