If your tracking or looking for exclusivity, the R is an obvious choice. If your a daily or just want a very nice car, the standard 350 works a bit better IMHO. Ive had both.

Have you ever had it? My first R, I installed the standard 350 splitter because I was worried about it. I eventually put the R splitter on and yes, you have to be careful with both but I didn't think the R was much different. On my 20R, I use it on the street with no issues. Anywhere I wouldn't drive my R, I also wouldn't drive a Mustang GT, either.I would NOT want the R front splitter on the street.
Quoting drag times for a track based car is meaninglessLol - talk about taking something out of context. People simply always believe what they want to believe.
I agree. Even the regular GT350 splitter hit things more often than I would have preferred. My 2017 GT is lowered on a FP track handling kit with similar wheel rates, but almost never scrapes. Of course you give up some aero performance for having a setup that rarely scrapes, but I'm not seeking any trophies and my driving talent wouldn't support an effort in that direction anyway.I would NOT want the R front splitter on the street.
I have a lot of experience with splitters and the R splitter would not even allow me to get in/out of my garage without massive scrapping.Have you ever had it?

Ive had both cars and there is not a lot of difference but there is some. The R makes you think twice about approach angleI have a lot of experience with splitters and the R splitter would not even allow me to get in/out of my garage without massive scrapping.
Areas of the country differ.. Having an R with it's lower height, lower profile tires and R splitter, I don't have many problems. Do I have to pay attention? yes. I just don't agree when someone makes it sound impossible or horribly inconvenient.I have a lot of experience with splitters and the R splitter would not even allow me to get in/out of my garage without massive scrapping.
