Yes you can make a gt350 perform close to the R, but you were implying that the gt350 and R are very close, but in reality there quite a bit apart. Yes the Z28 was over priced, but price doesn't equal performance. You think those who paid 100k for there R got there money's worth? Many can be had in the 80k range, so those people already lost 20k. but again, when the z28 came out, there was no compitition, so they set a price. When Ford came out with the gt350, they had the z to compare to, so they could find ways to keep price down, and they did a great job. So when you have a car to compare to and know you have to beat, they build until they can do it because if they didn't, it would be a fail. Now Chevy has the R to compare to, so I have no doubt the next z28 will beat it, but at what price point?:shrug:Where did I say anything about the gt350 vs the gt350R? I didn't.
Oh yeah you mean like how the z28 was compared to a boss302?
The z28 and GT350 were both sold in 2015
The difference in track times between the track pack and R is...
Weight and tires. That's it.
My car has 305/30 pilot sport cup 2's
With all the rubber suspension bushings replaced with bearings and solid aluminum bushings. R springs, wheels that weigh 1 pound or less than R wheels, with equal weight as a R and I'm certain my car could smoke a R by at least 4+ seconds with the same driver, same day, same track. All for less than what a R cost with markup. The point is the z was over priced. GM proved it with the 1le.
