Hanging your hat on a MotorTrend video with a 1.2 second "victory" is a bit silly don't you think? Great car, love them, but you can't tell me Ford couldn't have done a bit more...
"if you aint first!" The R is faster at a variety of tracks. You can take the time to look it up yourself.
"but you can't tell me Ford couldn't have done a bit more..." Sure! So can Gm and Porsche and my self getting ready in the morning, etc.

No, I'm just not taking my queues from motor trend videos. Lap times wasn't my point anyway but you focused in on that to tailor your argument.
ANy who!! Back on track. Are you ordering a 2019 GT350? Or you just think Ford should have done better? No? Then get the vulc outta here! "youre out of your vulcan mind!"

Edit: reference


What!!! there is a lap time thread? LOL
Me and certain others? HAHAHAHAHA Becuase you know what cars I drive and what I have owned and what forums I'm on or my lap times?



You obviously did not get my reference and therefore the satire went over your head.

Sorry I proved you incorrect.

Anybody hear anything about Ingot Silver?

I was really disappointed to see that it isn't mentioned in the press release. It's probably the one thing that would get me to trade my OW 2017 for a 2019 someday.

The original promo materials for the GT350 back in 2014 featured an Ingot Silver car, and man alive is it pretty:

[MENTION=25607]Spart[/MENTION], it’s not mentioned in the press release because it’s not a totally new color. But it will be available, see here....

A 427ci Chevy vs a 315ci Ford... and it’s still faster. Hiding under a rock is being nice. :cheers:
And according to the dyno measurements, the 427 in that Z/28 was a ringer. It probably had a non-factory cam in it that didn't meet emissions regulations. It made way more power than the Z/28 is rated for, but the GT350R was still quicker (and easier to live with at the same time).

When I was looking to buy my first GT350 a couple of years ago, I looked at a couple of very low mileage ones in the high 40s. I'm sure they would've taken even less to move them as they had been there for awhile and I still passed. Not a great dual purpose car like the GT350 is and you still get the performance. Plus we all know the GT350 looks way better as well. :D

Aaaaaanyway...The more pics/videos I see of the new rear spoiler, the more I like the track pack version better. I'm also not a fan of the R wing so take that opinion with a grain of salt, lol. I just think the track pack spoiler is much simpler/cleaner and goes better with the lines of the car. As far as the suspension upgrades go, I think it would be safe to assume that the Ford Performance springs & sways are still a step up from these since they are a step up from the R. Like most of you though, I really hope they offer the ABS, damper, TC & steering recalibration. I think that would make a difference, especially for those with the FP springs & sways.

I also don't trust K&N's dyno with even an empty box of crackers. Do the math and the Z28 had a 7% drivetrain loss factor? Ah....no. Not through a TR6060 anyway. Even the GT350's numbers I think were a little silly. 470? Eh...I'd believe 460 in a lose car.

Ha no, I mean I just quickly though of the most non dangerous object I could possibly think of at the moment...and I still don't trust them with it lol.

I just happened to have a box of empty crackers on my desk. :lol:
