- Fun session at Laguna Seca in our GT350R going at it with a ZLE and 911 GT3 for a few laps. Enjoy the action, this one had endurance racing vibes with the cars being so close together, you start noticing the effects of car weights and tires temperatures affect overall grip in prolonged periods of time as well as drivers' focus.
I hope this video answers some of your most popular questions about the GT350R and ZLE comparisons. Not many people out there compare these beast machines out on track where they belong. We hope to provide you that and more. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
One of the best amateur trackday videos I have seen. Three well matched cars, but you were the best driver of the bunch. The 350R has to be the greatest 70K track tool ever. Well done. That Porsche Cup car simply shows how crazy fast factory built cars are. Well done fella..
Thank you! I really enjoyed that session! The 350R really invokes the emotions! I think it's one of the all time greats for on track joy! 1LE and GT3 are also one of the all time greats so that was a pleasure!
@@leggoracing8451 I had a 350R and sold it. I was used to driving GT3’s and RS’s. I couldn’t get past the size and weight and build quality, so I sold it. I sort of regret it. I now have a 2011 GT3RS 997.2 Gen. It’s quite the car but it’s value has gotten so high it doesn’t make sense to track it. So I am in a conundrum..
@@ACMEpowersports I would be too scared to track that gem of a car! Sounds to me it’s time you get another 350 for trackday shenanigans!
@@leggoracing8451 You’re exactly right.
@@ACMEpowersports Hi Michael being that you have driven and been around these cars how do you find the power of the GT350's and 1LE compared to a base 991.1 GT3? I have driven the GT3 and honestly the power is not that impressive nor is the sound. You really have to get above 7k to feel any kind of poke and the exhaust is so quiet almost disappointing. Those other cars seem to deliver in other ways.
The sound of the GT350 will never get old. Awesome video! 👍
Glad you liked it! Planning on generating a lot more content for the channel, should be fun!
sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know a method to get back into an instagram account??
I was dumb lost the login password. I love any help you can give me!
@Jackson Draven instablaster =)
@Clyde Layton thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Clyde Layton It worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out :D
It was cool to see your lines change slightly and smooth-out after clearing the traffic. I keep going back and forth about taking a driving school here, Road Atlanta or COTA.
Thank you! I still have to tell myself to snap out of ghost following the car in front sometimes. With no traffic it's easier to focus on your line and reference points.
Can't really go wrong with those track options. You will have a great time at any one of those. I'd say go with the one closest to you. Laguna Seca has an annoying 92db sound limit. A few days in the year they raise it to 103 and that's when I take the R there without blowing sound lol.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. What a great under dog story. The missed shift in that climactic moment was fucking hilarious. And he persevered FTW BABY.👏🏁🏆👍🤣
Now thats an awesome trio of track toys!
great driving dude. I love seeing the bowties go down.
Thanks! Great fun!
More like the Bowties tire treads went down.
nice job!!!!
amazing video. I am just getting into racing and this taught me a lot. Thank you
Great video! Entertained the whole way :D
Love the way you drive!
Awesome driving 💯🔥
The red Camaro was holding very well with a lower HP engine. By the way nice video, Thank you for sharing.
Yes they were doing well. Thanks for watching
Great driving and fun video. What an awesome car! I like the video comments very helpful.
Thank you for joining the channel! Welcome aboard, got bit by the racing bug and love sharing the experience! ❤️
I stopped halfway through but great driving, Bro.
Love this video 😎👍🏾
Good old boy..love the “sub commentary”...and enjoy the “note”...superb...
Oh...subbed...
Thank you!
Hearing the 350 rip thru laguna seca is music to my ears
Well done.
Good driver
I would love to see a Supercharged GT350 out on a track to match the ZL1 1LE
Don’t give me ideas 😂
I thought the GT 350R was factory supercharged
@@jamesward4893 GT 350R is NA just like the regular 350, the GT500 might be what you're thinking of
Dont think that was a 1le..it didnt have the right wing on it...looked like a plain Zl1. Also it looked like he was just on a sunday drive never seen him get loose at all.. with his driving skills he should get rid of the mustang and get him a Zl1 1Le..he would be hard to beat..he was working way too hard in the mustang going those speeds..any faster and he would have spun out
Nice shifting 🔥
Thanks! Minus the one missed shift on the straight 😂
Youre the best driver out of all of em but how would i know i only play video games lol
Great work. Why do you think they were struggling for grip? I sold my 18 gt350 for a 22 ZL1, should have it soon, I’m excited
Could be many reasons, tires getting greasy or getting on power too early. Congrats and enjoy it
Sweet driving brother! Love the confidence!!
Sweet driving, missed a gear,,,,
Good focus. How where your oil temps and pressure doing. A little hard to see the gauges.
Oil temps hover around 240, never really goes above 250 even when driven hard for a full 25 minute sesison. I guess one of the benefits of NA engines, less heat soak.
You got in your groove after a couple laps. Really well put together laps 👌🏾
No..he never did.
@@rickmassey1272 stick to guitars Rick. It’s always black people coming for their own kind. How about you produce some content of your own or sign up for a track day yourself. Until then be quite.
Nice laps how much confidence is there on the braking? Did you upgrade the brake fluids or pads?
Brakes give lots of confidence, bite doesn't fade with temperature. That's how I cooked my rotors pretty good lol. No upgrades, this was on stock pads and fluid. I flushed it right before the track day.
The GT350 is known for having brakes with an aggressive bite, they take massive abusive and give great braking power and confidence, some have complained that it's too much, but those were more daily drivers that didn't understand that it was made for aggressive track racing.
Thanks a lot for the reply guys, I’m quickly finding out how good they are I was at COTA last week I had no failures on brakes only my front splitter gave me some trouble on the long straights. I was getting a lot of turbulence because it was loose and coming apart.
@@Xavisworldtexas Yeah the build quality honestly isn’t the best but they put the money on the performance, which I definitely appreciate given my personal use case for the car! I hope you were able to get that splitter tight again!
gt3 where?!
Nice
I wonder why you edited your comment lol
Is anybody else triggered by that cord being so close to the shifter? I just want to reach into the screen and re-route it away from the whole area...seems unsafe.
Curious how often do you have to change tires road racing?
On these R compound tires you get about 2-4 track days per set.
r_vs_zle have you ever tried Toyo R888? They’re pricey but the stickiest tire out there.
@@Gkdjsifuofofk I haven't tried the R888 yet, I've tried the Cup 2s, they were sticky but I like the F1 Eagle Rs tire better, it holds grip to the cords.
are u running your factory carbon wheels?
Yes sir!
Tech Inspections must be a piece of cake a Laguna Seca. I've never seen someone allowed to wear a short sleeve shirt and short pants. Yet, he wears gloves that are perhaps Nomex? If the window is open that's another question.
Any sounds issues for your GT350R @ Laguna?
Oh yeah, this was a 103db day so didn't have any issues. In 92db days, big lift past the sound station otherwise I get black flagged.
Looks like the Z L one let him buy just so he could pass him again later
Awesome vid.
I thought the only place you lost time to the Cameron was through the corkscrew section everywhere else I thought you definitely had the advantage.In clear air you were gone.
Absolutely. Some variance between drivers. All good fun. Thanks for watching
How’s the 350r now ? Motor still fine ?
Yes but with a new owner It has been replaced with a gt3
I'd give a kidney for a 911 GT3
What are your camber settings?
-2.8 front, -1.3 rear. Car has very a slight oversteer tendency at the limit.
@@leggoracing8451 with the factory 2019 R camber top mount plates?
@@gnosism No, I use the maximum motorsports camber plates.
@@leggoracing8451 wouldn’t decreasing the negative camber slightly help with the oversteer up front?
@@abelflores5976 It definitely would, but I find that helps with rotation in tighter tracks
any issues with noise limits?
Definitely issues on a 90db day. But 103 db days are chef's kiss.
good to know, thanks@@leggoracing8451
GT350R is more than a match for that zl11le at WTLS...you gotta trust the car more ...drive it in there just a little deeper..IT'LL STICK AND PUT THE POWER DOWN
Sorry i though i would see all 3 cars & track time! I wanted to see the gt3 win. Which it would easy.
0:27 someone needs external seam gloves!
So, better car? better driver? better tires? ??
Good job, especially considering you're giving up close to 150HP to the Camaro, and that guy in the McLaren needs to go to a driving school before he kills himself, lol!
Forza Motorsport irl
fire proof gloves, shorts and a t shirt...why?
14:45 yeah the Camaro is phuckered there… he had no grip left in the tires, so went deep into the turn, and had no choice but to let you go by. Well done!
