That sucks for the GT350 but is good information, since it gets to 100F ambient at the tracks here in CA in the summer.

Power loss in the heat is the kind of thing that would be so hard to swallow if discovered as a new owner at a DE, so thanks for posting this article.

Nice reminder of the amazing cooling systems on the M3/M4
They picked a base 350 with no track package( Ford from the beginning even says must have this to track ) to compare to the more track oriented M4 CS on a hot day where the various oil coolers would be necessary. Talk about stacking the deck to get a desired outcome lol . How about compare the M4CS to a GT350R which would still be 40,000 cheaper oh wait it would lose badly so can't do that ( 350R beats the M4GTS handily on every track ) .Heck they could have at least gotten one with the track package , and not had a worthless test .
