Hopefully both manual and DCT, but only one were provided, I’d take a DCT.

I assume he’s referencing all the track times that were listed. Ford hasn’t been into the “our car can run this time at this track” game like the others.

I expect full visuals obviously, power output, performance packages, transmissions, and MAYBE price.

The car is still nearly a year away. I doubt you'll get final power numbers or price.

Maybe not exact certified numbers, but I still expect a close number.

Much like they released 650 for the ‘13 in December of 2011.

Maybe not though. They’ve blue balled us this long, what’s a few more months here and there.

That makes sense. They said the trinity was over 600, then over 650, then 662. Dyno days showed it made ~600whp so even the 662 was under rated.

I’d love to see a KR package to bring in demon level power around 850hp, really trick differential, and additional fixed and active aero and suspension retuning. Include some trick pieces like a magnesium roof, trunk lid and hood, lighter stronger rotors and ducting, etc. Put a $20k price premium on it and sell ~250 of them.

I don’t expect it but it would be a great site to behold.

$69k no option - $84k track/luxury options. $100k+ with adm.

Damn fast on track, with little to no cooling issues for normal 20 min sessions.

sorry for the dumb question but have we ruled out some sort of a hybrid platform? lightweight batteries anyone?

I have been waiting for the GT350'R to show up on the used market for a good price. I think I would love a normally aspirated high performance car.. Besides straight line speed, are you giving up anything with the GT350 over the new GT500?
