What Tom said, essentially. FWIW my ZLE is no lightweight princess at 38XX so I'm guessing I will be going through plenty of consumables myself. It isn't just the weight, but how capable cars like GT500/ZLE are. The extra speed/hauling it down for a slow corner and heft through the corners plus the extra acceleration out etc.Agreed that the 2020 R with the HEP option has no changes to the performance side of things but with the brand new steering geometry inherited from the GT500 the 2020 R will be the best handling R model since it's inception during the summer of 2015.
When driving my 2018 R model and depending on the road that I am driving on I have experienced a great deal of tramlining and understand that this will go away on the 2020 R model therefore I am looking forward to feeling the difference in steering and handling between my 2018 and a 2020 model.
Now with Ford offering the HEP option on the GT350 and the R model what a cool bonus for any of us that love this car.
With respect to the 2 seat GT500 being heavy and destroying tires and brakes at an alarming rate, I have not heard that statement made before and would like to know what weight you have the CFTP car coming in at and is it common knowledge about this optioned car really tearing up tires and brakes at an alarming rate?
Regarding the price of a CFTP car I priced and ordered my car at ~$93,000 therefore the 2 seat CFTP car can be bought for less than $100,000 not taking into question a possible ADM as you mentioned.
The price, especially for the CFTP versions will be like how Rs were. MSRP deals will be very far and few between and not the norm.
That will be nice if they can dial out the tramlining. I'm surprised my ZLE doesn't with 305/325 width tires.
Also as Tom has said often, tracking a car is not a poor mans sport and if you going to do it with a CFTP GT500 (few will) it really will be more expensive than normal.
