In reply to Pete. (l33t FS) :

It was colder last time I observed it, but it did this continuously for about 100 miles. The exhaust was definitey warmed up by then.

In reply to 1988RedT2 :

About 200k I believe.

I recall a meme from a little while back, but I can't find it.  The gist was that any observed anomaly regarding a used vehicle for sale always translated to a blown head gasket.  Can anyone find the meme, for meme's sake?

What is this I'm looking at in this picture?  Car in question is a 2017-ish Shelby GT350.

Being a few months into ownership of one of these, I think I understand the mindset of the person who installed the air ride.  The splitter on the Shelby GT350 rides about 3.75" above the road surface.  I've had a couple gentle scrapes, but I do not like that sound, and the fear of absent-mindedly driving over a major dip or turning into a parking lot at night and hearing that sickening "grunnchhh!" causes me to plan my route and not drive the car if I can't be sure of a total absence of dips.  How do you people who daily drive something with minimal ground clearance deal with this?  I've heard the Corvette guys can put little roller wheels under their cars.

The Shelby is red, but I'm not sure if that has any effect on ground clearance.

So red has a better torque vector. And blue has more HP. Hummmm.
