Solved...
One of these is the 'Boss Racing' (Boss 302R) package that we will see at COTA in a couple of weeks. 5.0L and maybe 450HP.
The other is the Shelby GT350 with a 5.2L and maybe 485-500HP if N/A.
This is why Ford held back on the 435HP GT - so as not to make these HP gains seem...
There's already a GT350 badge, parts lists and tons of spy footage. I really don't see Ford keeping this under total wraps until January. Although, Corvette C7R first did 'testing' (parade laps) in cammo on-track before Chevy announced the Z06.
That seems possible this month.
I don't think the issue is to whether a manual outperforms a paddle-auto for track day use, or vice versa. The issue is that years ago, autos were so poor they could not even remotely be considered for such performance applications. But now with clear dominance in professional racing, and...
Correct. Manual = dated technology.
It ain't really a modern race car these days if it doesn't shift from the steering wheel. Z06 now comes with a auto. The Euros have for years. Even Shelby offered some automatic versions back in the day. :thumbsup:
Flame suit on… I honestly hope it's also offered with a paddle-shift automatic.

Maybe it was already noted elsewhere, but these V8 numbers of 16/25 were on a sticker with optional 3:55 gears. If you want higher mpg, the standard 3:15 gears probably have higher mpg.
Thanks all! May sell soon - getting some better bids now…
Not even totally sure why I'm selling it, but have been thinking about Superformance 427 Cobras a LOT lately…
(or a 2016 GT350 if they offered it with a paddle-shift automatic)

Manipulating contrast on the photos looks like 305/35/19 rear and 295/35/19 front. An unusual combination, but plausible. Definitely a track-oriented set up to rival a Z28.
Look how close I was… :headbonk:
Actually, aside from the GT, not far off.
I was really expecting 450HP, but looks like Ford decided to hold a few ponies back for a CS or other V8 special edition underneath the GT350 next year. That's when we'll see 450-455.
You're kidding right?
Take a vote: What % of PP ever see the track? 1%?
A PP at the track is a nice image, but reality is that PP cars will see the track about as often as a Mercedes M class sees the Baja.
Tracking a car is great fun (I personally prefer to beat up someone else's car...
