Oh I'm sure it won't be either (until the dealers put down their "market adjustment" pricing BS).

The weight is going to be low, lower than the Z/28 and power is going to be a bit more I bet. So power to weight is going to be a great feature in this car.

We thought the Z/28 was awesome but now, the GT350 and GT350R is going to be even better!

Seriously me either and I had a C6 Z06 before my e92 M.
Ford is on the money now with design and function. Shit look at the GT and the Raptor for Christ sakes! The Raptor is by far the best looking functional truck and now it has more power, 10speed auto for better gas consumption and it's over 500lbs lighter than the outgoing model. I stress that it's time to buy some Ford Stock...I know I am.
The price for the base GT350 as I've been reading in the mustang forums will be $52,9 and for the R....I'm picturing around $10k over than the base GT350. Still a damn hella deal!

This thing is hot! Ever since the Coyote, Ford has been creeping its way up. Having owned a couple 13's, I'd really love to jump on one of these. The wife and I are about to start trying for kids this fall, so I think it's going to be a no-go for me. Bad timing.


I just hope all of you that said you were going to get one report back here with the porn and the videos.

Carbon Fiber wheels AND a flat plane crank V8? That's tempting.
Because Ford sells a ton of 40 MPG Focus, Fiesta, C-max, and Fusion hybrids...

BMW sells some 34 MPG 228s and 328s, the rest is X6M shit.

Most BMW's are x20d. Regulations are based on CO² emissions, not fuel consumption.

In Europe. In the US, it's fleet average fuel consumption.

So a "source" says the GT350R ran around the 'Ring in 7min 32 secs back in Sept '14. But this isn't official but what what was said from a "credible" source.......and also the GT350R will start at $69,995, from a sources at Ford.......links to the articles is you want to read them:

Lap:
http://horsepowerkings.com/report-20...rburgring-lap/

Price:
http://horsepowerkings.com/the-2016-...tart-at-69995/

To compare that to the Z/28, it ran the time in the rain on the last bit of its lap. GM said did a 7 min 31 sec or 32 sec lap once before but that wasn't recorded.....so either way, it looks like the GT350R might be on par with the Z/28 and it might be slightly better....if the 7 min 32 sec time is correct.

Those are both clickbait articles so I wouldn't trust a single thing that site says.

I guess the "click bait" article is spreading like wildfire huh? Guess we'll see if the $69,995 price is going to be true....coming from the click bait article.....

Interesting that they claim to have a GT350R Nurburgring time. Of all those Nurburgring "spy" photos, none had the GT350s carbon fiber wheels or rear spoiler. But maybe there was no pictures taken on the days it was out?

If the time "source" is correct, the time was ran back in September. Maybe the spy pictures were of the GT350 and not the R version.
