I know most of the folks on here are either 250 owners or traditional RWD 350's. However, I was curious to hear if any of the new awd 350 owners were planning on heading out to the local track to see how their rides stack up?

 

I would beat you

just kidding!

no track for me. Tires and gas be expensive yo

 

not sure if any awds are appropriate for this venue... maybe IS F

 

^^what do you mean? Plenty of is350s go?

 

mostly rwd i believe... I just think that awds are pretty heavy, but I don't want to hijack the thread by drawing pros and cons about rwd and awd. Nevertheless, I am pretty sure awd 350 will bring smiles to some people on the tracks!

 

That's a negatory for me. I've never taken any of my cars to the track. This is probably the fastest yet most luxurious car I've ever owned...I can't take my precious little baby to the track and expose her to that

 

lol, nah man. just so you know, you can see cars of all types there. from civics to gallardos. you realize the weight difference is only like having another person in the car, right? don't believe the haters.

haha, i feel the same way trza! it's not the most luxurious for me, but def the fastest. which is why it's so darn tempting... I think md raceway is the closest...may need to look into it some.

 

does anyone know what the optimal track conditions are?

 

Cold, dry, and at/below sea level. All of which lead to colder, denser, air, which=more power.

(and a well prepared track with a lot of VHT it)

 

Not taking mine

 

Not AWD, but I hope to take my '06 350 out to the local 1/8th mile drag strip this year. Cant wait to see what she does!

 

Not AWD but did Autocross earlier this month in my 350. (Oh and I thouroughly enjoyed using those pointless paddle shifters )

 

^^ Nice! How'd ya do?

 

Any video footage?

 

Check out the awesomeness I just came across! Not that I had any doubt. So it looks like the awd doesn't fall far behind on dry surfaces afterall! Looking fwd to all the other videos to come!
