Ahhhh yes, talk about IMSA and the CTSC. You cannot look at what is happening in that race series and make a direct correlation to the street versions. Due to an attempt to have "balance of performance" in IMSA cars are fitted with restricotrs and have certain weights.
Example of the class weight : (Street Versuin vs. Race Version) Z/28 3862 lbs vs Z/28.R 3575 lbs. Difference = 287 lbs Boss 302 3666 lbs vs Boss 302R 3335 lbs Difference = 331 lbs Nissan NISMO 370Z 3340 lbs vs Nissan 370Z R 2850 lbs Difference = 490 lbs Porsche 991 Carrera GTS 3430 lbs vs Carrera GTS R 3075 lbs Difference = 355 lbs

I will have been driving/tracking my Z28 for 18 to 24 months before I'm likely to encounter a 350R. So I certainly hope the GT 350R is faster. But the difference in performance will be so small than it will be the guy in the driver's seat making the biggest difference at the track.

There only making 37 GT350R's..... Can you really compare it to the Z/28??
If so Chevy should make 37 Z.28R's just to beat the GT350R....

37 for the 2015 model year. They're projecting around 500 R's for the 2016 model year, one of which will be mine. So, yes, you absolutely can compare the two cars!

Are you willing to pay a premium dealer mark up on your 1 out of 500 MY2016 car?

My favorite part of the article was the leaked Ford Focus RS price, which I am excited to see.
Without video/head-to-head comparison times are just pieces on paper.

This is the first time I'm excited about a Mustang in...I don't even know when. I can't remember ever being excited for a Ford. Watching intently. Gotta give it up to them for taking risks like this. I wish GM would follow suit!

Do I need to have a GM logo branded on my ass to post here? Or are you allowed to like something other than only a Camaro around here?
Some people actually have real opinions and aren't just nutswingers
