The first production model GT350R (Vin 0001) sold at Barret Jackson for $1MM!!!"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson, 1776Comment

Let me resay what I said.. I read the new GT500 is in the works. I have zero interest in a gt350. Tt 5.0 making 740 hp, yes, have more interest in that...Originally posted by 46Tbird View PostFord announced today 526hp and 429 lb-ft.

• The valves are "much larger" and the cams provide 14mm of lift
• The throttle body measures 87mm
• Cylinder heads hollow-stem intake valves and sodium-filled exhaust valves
• The camshafts provide 14mm of lift
• Crankshaft is rifle drilled
• Block is honed with torque plates
• 12:1 compression and burns 93-octane fuel
• The rev limiter cuts fuel at 8,250 rpm
• The crankshaft is only 15 percent of the rotational inertia of the engine
• The oil pan and windage tray are all one piece

I've heard the same. Also read a quote from a Form big wig that hinted the hellcat wasn't going to be a issue long.Originally posted by STROKD View Post"It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!"Comment

They are for totally different markets, one for the drag strip, and the other for the road course. I'd have to think that the N/A torque of the GT350 will be fin in a DD, if highway racing is your thing though, get the GT500.Originally posted by STROKD View Post

I agree with this. There is a limit to the amount of usable power in a car that can not only go in a straight line, but also carve corners too... A lot of that has to do with the design of the car/suspension.Originally posted by Big A View PostThey are for totally different markets, one for the drag strip, and the other for the road course.

I have a Stang in the garage that will likely out handle a gt350 if I need to go around turns, there aren't any turns in TX lolOriginally posted by Big A View PostThey are for totally different markets, one for the drag strip, and the other for the road course.

Originally posted by STROKD View PostOriginally posted by Baron Von Crowder View PostI have thought about this a little myself... If I can get all the little things finished up on my notch, I wonder how close I could be around like MSRC to a GT350 (assuming equal tires).Originally posted by Denny View Post
Both cars would have an IRS, good suspension and brakes, and while I'd be way down on power and RPM (but I do have TFS heads on the work bench to install), my notch is lighter and has much stiffer aftermarket suspension.Originally posted by stevoComment
