Randy Probst drives the GT350R aroubndLaguna Seca...short one lap video

Pretty exciting...until I think of the reality of yesterday's Mustang drive on I-5 to my favorite pool hall & back home. Sigh....

I am sooo sick of this! Who amongst us is doing this? I'm not really sure I fully understand the use case for this star rating system. Most threads (that aren't locked or moved by the mods) are pretty well policed by the users; popular threads continue to be bumped with active posts and unpopular/irrelevant ones just fade away...regardless of the rating!

Oh, and cool video! Thank you for posting!

The star rating system is for childish prats with grudges against other members. It has nothing to do with how good or bad the subject is. It should have been disabled long ago.

No one is giving one star. Sometimes bots rate the threads just clicking around. You can rate a thread without signing in.

Stop being so fricking fragile.

If that were the case, we would have just as many random (one-vote) 2, 3 & 4 star ratings. We don't.

But your conjecture seemed really plausible for a moment.

I think this is my favorite iteration of the "modern Mustang", yet!!!! I really love this body style! Even the lesser examples (doesn't have to be a Shelby) make me a little tingly. Against the Camaro and Challenger, the 'stang is my pick.

I so want a GT350, but will probably settle for the Coyote motored GT.

I pay no attention WHATSOEVER to the star rating system, and never will. I read what I want regardless of what others think.

This is at the top of my "I hope they depreciate" list. Right along with the Focus RS.....

Did I hear in that video that some dealers are charging a $25k premium over sticker? I know the whole supply vs. demand in being the first person on your street to own one, is nothing new, but that seems like some serious sunk costs!!!

LOL. Yes. Clearly. Just look at your response to my last one here.

Read: some people do prefer comfortable lies over logical truths.

Mark Wilson nailed this subject early with The star rating system is for childish prats with grudges against other members.

Damned if I know...some kind of test equipment? Maybe the thing measuring G loads? Just a wild guess...
