Yes, it's real.

Someone just posted this on another thread:

"The best part of the GT350 story is that the car in LA isn't even the true Z/28 stalker. That'll be the still-behind-the-curtain GT350R (to put it in context, the R will be the Laguna Seca to the GT350's Boss 302), and it should be ultramega great. Look for that one—with better brakes, tweaked aero, stickier rubber, and more—in Detroit come January."

I hope that GT350R specs and pricing are released at the same time as the GT350 so that an informed decision can be made between them.

Bigger front splitter like the one on the Nürburgring and rear brake ducts...
...Carbon Ceramic Brakes...Carbon Fiber wheels from Carbon Revolution in 11" F and 11.5" R. Rear Seat Delete...

The original 350R was a very, very potent racer and entirely uncivilized for the street. I expect no different from the new 350R.

I suspect the 350R will still have CC brakes as an option and not std, but we'll see.

I agree I would like to weigh my options. From an investment standpoint the "R" would be better.

Regardless both will be bada$> mothaf47$)rs!

That's a very clean photoshop...

Unless of course it's not and you're being sneaky

I think TOPNOTCH needs to be a part of the actual badge just like that rendering.

I hope rear seat delete is not include, maybe an option. It don't weigh much. Just seems like a big waste of space. I understand Miata, S2000, Corvette not having a back seat, because there's no room. But to have room and leave it empty for 20lbs seems silly. Like how Z/28 left rear seat in. They used lighter foam & deleted folding feature which added up to ~8lb savings.

guess it's just one of my pet peeves.

From what I understand, didn't the boss LS rear seat delete actually ADD weight because of the added bracing?

haha... that's true!

They could've built a brace that would keep rear seats. I think it was 50% fashion and 50% pandering to weigh savings.

I know this thread isn't about HP but this quote here got me thinking the R model is positioned to take on the Z/28 that would put the base GT350 in the same position of the lineup as the Zl1 in the camaros lineup do yall think it's possible ford set the Z/28 as its target for lap times but the ZL1 for its target for HP it would make since from a financial front to have one car fill 2 rolls not to mention there's some serious bragging rights in being able to say that Ford was able to make one car that can beat both the ZL1 and Z/28 which are both very specialized in their roles

Personally, I don't want rear seats...I don't have kids and I doubt anyone will be comfortable back there anyway. I'll probably remove mine from the base 350, save a little weight and not have to worry about taking people to lunch lol
