GT350 vs. Z/28

[68fbjjz109]

GT350R arrived at the Brake Testing department yesterday...

Should be testing today...

(Magnetic, Black Stripes)

So that means we get Door tag information, or you are going to drive it to a scrap yard and through it on the scale right?

Oh it appeals... The 624hp version was just a street thug, the SCCA approved NA version was planted.

The new GT350 will likely run circles around both.

damn its really the pill

Awesome video. The misaligned panel at 0:26 seconds really passed me off though.

I was at a local dealer recently, and all the mustangs there looked great. No misalignments or anything.

They answered their own question numerous times...

How does it win so much?

At first, it was the 100hp, 7 liter advantage. Until recently, it enjoyed a healthy output advantage.

The 500lbs weight reduction allowance was also a major factor, now only 300lbs.

How else does it achieve success? Again, they blatantly answered that question. The brakes and suspension has been completely changed as well as the OEM 305's. I also suspect it uses Carbon Fiber panels just like the GS.R...


AND...

The Camaro GS.R and z28.R cost the teams $230,000-$250,000...

The other options are $120,000...

It also doesn't help when the sanctioning body waits for your Camaro to finally take first and stop the race. That is a wonderful reputation your building for your Endurance Race. Rain is rain, once the clock starts, it's on... It's dangerous yes and some races cease after bad weather crashes, but not many. Usually someone needs to literally die on the track for an endurance race to stop. While that is extreme, stopping the race when your favorite car secures first is lame...


They are successful because they are intended to win the CTSC Championship this year. It's 5 years of hard work being rewarded...

Of course, you didn't think my profile pic was accurate? My face photoshopped to a Calvin Kline Advertisement.

I'm sure you probably don't care for this but, there is a nearly nude photo of thePill on SVTP. In the "Body Fat" thread in General :lol:

If I would have beaten my injuries, I would have started boxing in 2013. I held my BMI and weight for almost two years. I lost a lot of weight to try and compete in Super Welterweight... as well as Am Motorsport.

It was not to be :(

But yeah, that's really me... the old Joker pic was me as well, just photoshopped.

Any word on what customer a GT350R-C will cost yet? One stock Mustang Shelby GT350R a list of deleted items from stock, install a roll cage and you're almost there, to start.

The placeholder MSRP in the Ford Racing catalog was the same as the Boss 302. However, that was based on the Boss 302S I believe.

According to Ford Racing, there was no increase in MSRP. I find that very hard to believe though.

The previous MSRP's for the 302R and 302S were $125,000 and $90,000. Although the MSRP between the Boss Laguna Seca and Base GT350 are very close, I suspect at least that difference to show up on the race cars. So at least $2000 more...

I'd expect it to be more in any case.

LOL. And I thought I was the only one that noticed that, not the way to show-off a new car.:doh:
