Sounds about right. 350R is too much for he z28. Doubt the 350 with or without the track pack would be able to win, but the true halo car of the mustang is quite formidable.

1.2s faster per lap

so it translated to 1.36:xx at laguna (z/28 did 1:37.82)

here are the list of cars between 1.36 and 1.37

17 Ferrari 458 Italia Randy Pobst 1:36.22 570 / 1485
18 Nissan GT-R (R35 530 PS) 1:36.35 530 / 1736
19 Lexus LFA 1:36.39 560 / 1609
20 Audi R8 GT 1:36.39 560 / 1520
21 Nissan GT-R (R35 550 PS) Randy Pobst 1:36.63 550 / 1736
22 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 1:36.77 450 / 1400

impressive

they did test the gt350 non-r on the same track, it did 2:00.xx just a second slower than z/28

Sounds about right. 350R is too much for he z28. Doubt the 350 with or without the track pack would be able to win, but the true halo car of the mustang is quite formidable.

I feel like the times could have been better with the GT350. There were a few moments where it felt like he let off a little soon and got out of the turn a little later. This could just be because the Trofeos have better grip, but I thought the Cup 2 tires were pretty good as well.

I will say the GT350 pulls hard top end. You could see the difference clearly.

Well done Ford. The 350 R is such a beast.

Wow, that GT350R is something else. Love it. Looks like the GT350R was pulling at the drag race towards the end.
