I attributed this to the larger 305's (as compared to the 295's on the 350). The R has 305/315 Pilot Cups, so it will be fun getting it on the track next spring. The 350's 8250 redline takes some getting used to.

I was able to find my R private party with 1800 miles, paint corrected, wrapped and quartz sealed for well under MSRP. I had been looking for 3 months. I bought my Z this winter from a Porsche dealer with 3600 miles on it for WAAAAAAAYYYYYYY less than MSRP! I don't think you will ever see R's sitting on new lots for 20% off MSRP like you could find Z's when new. There seems to be a lot more demand for the Shelbys.

I ran a set of Pilot Sport 2's on the Z for one weekend. They were practically shot after several runs and did not stick nearly as well as the Trofeo's, or my current GY 3R's.
