Doesn't look that way. Produces 90% of torque from 3450 through 7000 RPM. Broad peak torque curve through 7,000.

2016 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang rated at 526 hp, 429 lb-ft
So, what do you all think GM's answer will be to this? A Z28 with a lower price point, a 1le with more power than the standard ss at a lower price point than the mustang ? Exciting times we live in.
Here is a link to the article http://www.autoblog.com/2015/06/02/2...irmed/#image-1 |

GM's response will be the LT4 Z/28.

vs. GM's outgoing platform +21HP, but - 52lb torque...seems that GM doesn't have very much work to do.
And actually, the R variant will be the competitor to current and future Z/28, and at 61K base, that's 14K lower than current Z/28, so they will have to figure that one out.

As far as I'm concerned, a Camaro SS with MRC isn't going to be far off the pace of a base GT350.
That's fantasy racing at its finest...comparing two cars that aren't out yet...but its fun right?

would you think then the 1LE version of the SS would be more apples to apples on the GT350? then GT350R to Z/28? R package does following: remove back seat remove A/C heavy duty front springs engine oil, transmission and diff coolers drive modes carbon fiber wheels better tires CC brakes (front only???) chassis tuning chin splitter this sounds more on par with 2/28? but 14K lower price, so that is where next Z/28 needs to be? Hard to know until we find out if GM has a new NA motor in the works, for now LT4 at 650HP is all we know - then if Ford does a GT500 with FI motor...??? I have to admit, that GT350R is looking pretty nice.

The GT350R has a lap time of 7:32.19 posted on the rings official web site. That's only 5 sec faster than the outgoing Z28. The Camaro team should be able to catch it with a new Z. Probably not with the SS though.
