Are you trying to justify keeping it? If not, why are you working so hard at this list?

I find you guys amusing that think the R is a Ferrari and the regular GT350 is a Yugo. 99% of the people that look wouldn't be able to tell them apart. Now if you're a track junkie, different story...
and I do love the CF rims; and the wing is cool, but c'mon now

I enjoyed that. Thanks OP! Nice to have a good smile with all the negativity around here sometimes.

Recently, someone was asking me about the differences between my Track Pack and the R. As I was rattling off all the things I can think of, and I mean down in the weeds things, he would interrupt me: "More Horsepower?", no, same engine...."Rearend?", no, that's the same, "Brakes?", same brakes, but with red calipers...you get the picture. He finally says, "What's the big deal with the R?" EXACTLY, I said!

So this is now one of THOSE threads.... You can tell the issues that bother people because they steer every thread in that direction.

No, just reacting to this, posted earlier:
"Unless you have a regular GT350 and your buddy drives in with a GT350R and nobody cares about your lowly GT350"
Although, I have seen it happen in a knowledgeable car crowd. Sucks being upstaged by your own brother.

I don't think it has anything to do with that. The R is more rare - and therefore garners more attention... for better or for worse.

That makes sense as the R does garner much more attention and I'd certainly more rate. Good point.

On the flip side, you have someone on Rennlist right now lamenting the fact that his R doesn't have an R badge, and he has to constantly correct people when they ask "How do you like your GT350?". I guess you can't win, unless you could care less, like me.
