I would happily cancel my C8 order for a GT500 at the same price as the C8 ($70K)
The ADM on the GT350(R)/GT500 will keep me away for forever and a day.
Love that track. And it is a pretty technical course and the "Sinkhole" is truly a challenge. I ran there in my GT350R after only having about two weeks seat time and it was a lot of fun, I'd like to see a C8/GT500/ZL1 1LE comparison there.
It barely edged it out on a track that favors high hp cars. At least you are setting up the excuse when it loses on a tight technical track.
who wouldn’t want that?
They do. That section has about 5 or 6 regulars. All hardcore magazine racers. The camaro guys that I know from the track. All just make fun of him. And won't post there because they are forced to pick sides. Agree with the Mustang trolls like me.
I think the GT500 CFTP will beat C8 on almost any track from what I have seen so far from onboard videos of both cars. the C8 has understeering and snap oversteer which make it very hard to drive fast on tracks. The GT500 looks faster at least from the Z51 C8 don't know what will happen when the 755 hp version of the C8 comes into play. Ether way the GT500 looks like an impressive track car to me.
Or huffing blatantly biased MT articles.....I mean they did let the Ford win this time.....by a second despite being almost 5 seconds faster.....
you get the impression from the article that the Mustang crew let the car show itself off.
When car actually has the word "track" in its "name" and 260 more hp, it better beat it. Duh. It is a totally different setup. Not just an alignment. Changing springs/bars/shocks, tires, wheels, aero, wing. Anyone could say it might beat the C8, but at only one performance metric is not a win, when it lost on all the other metrics. So MT must have let the GT500 win on the one metric so people on here won't feel so bad.
If you are still looking at GT350R's that have an ADM attached, then you are looking at the wring dealership to work with. As I have noted before, I paid $5K over MSRP for my 2016 R in January 2016. Here is a GT350R that is being offered at a discount at a dealer local to me:
It's a win in this particular case, because the article based the comparison on the track performance of both cars. It's in the freakin' title of the article. This was not a "best in every performance category" article.
You mean like 1/4 mile "track"?
There are deals all over the place for R’s at MSRP or less and non-R’s for $5-7K under MSRP. One dude recently got a leftover new 2018 for $10K off MSRP.
