I don't think so. The GT350 was already widened from the base S550. There is also a prominent "shelf" surrounding the headlights on the current Shelbys. It looks to me like the GT500 just scooped out that area and integrated the vent.

I see what you're saying. I guess the air vent on the side of the light housing is playing tricks on me.

Haven't seen this mentioned yet...is that a cut out integrated into the blacked out bumper area for a tow hook? to the right of the blinker housing......

The GTR that weighs as much as a S550 Mustang GT?

Seeing [MENTION=7184]Patio208[/MENTION] draw up his idea, I got inspired... here’s my idea of how it might look!

There is a shot towards the end of the video that starts at the head light and goes down the side of the car. Could someone get a screenshot of the rear quarter panel in that shot.. Does it look like it is flared/wider than normal or is it just me?? Would be greatly appreciated.

What did I miss where is everyone coming up the idea this thing is going to be that much of a porker?

GTR is 3933lbs per Nissans website.

A GTPP 18 with the auto weighs 3860 full fuel.

A non PP GT with a manual would probably get pretty close to 3750.

Hopefully, it's just fear of the unknown!! We don't really know anything concrete at this point!!

Adding 300 over the regular track pack 350.

Trans will be 60-80 more
Supercharger 100-120
Wheels tires, brakes, sway bars, axles. All adds up

This... superchargers are heavy, wider and larger diameter wheels, bigger brakes, upgraded axles, coolers, and aero pieces with little to no additional weight savings from a GT350R... I’d wager it’ll be 4K lbs or more

I'm kinda glad everyone is so disappointed so far! Should be no problem for me to get one right!!lol

The reason the gt350 has so much appeal is because of the cross over buyers from porche and BMW, few of of those buyers have this in the sites.
It will be interesting to see how well it does after the first year. even the last ten gt500 adms were virtually non existent, especially after the first 6 months, and nothing was even close in power, zl1 was more of the tracker.

Cause I was back at the dealership today bugging the hell out of him to get me one!!!!! He's gonna hate me before this is over and delivered! But I will have one!

Very hard to compare an all wheel drive vehicle that weighs 3900# with a two wheel Mustang GT500 that will probably end up weighing more than a GTR.

you will find one, maybe not one of the firsts but with patience no adm. The R model, if there is one, bets are off.
Got a long time to go.
