Steve Thompson, Ford Engineer, runs 2:00.57 at the 3.27 mile full course VIR. Is this a good time?
What are the mods?It isn't a stock car. I wonder is that time was on the south/north course. It mostly certainly wasn't done on the grand course.
Dead even with Randy P's time in a c8z51. Yea, it is a really good time and I do believe the car was completely oem according to a BillyJ post I read earlier.
No one knows. At minimum it is missing the passenger seat and therefore lighter than what a normal GT350 off the showroom would weigh. I believe the OEM recaros weigh 50# each. Who knows if the rear seat is removed, etc. We have no idea what brake pads or tires are on the car either.What are the mods?

Time track semantics. The actual time is .39 faster. But they weren’t run on the same day. It may have been slower on the day Randy ran the c8.Umpossuble!
@ON D BIT said it was faster than the vette in another thread.
Bad ass video though! Sure does sound good.
I thought the C8 was supposed to be faster than the c7 z on track. What happened?
Since when did the 350R come with rear seats?No one knows. At minimum it is missing the passenger seat and therefore lighter than what a normal GT350 off the showroom would weigh.

No, the halo 350R was to beat the zl1 and it did. The vette supposedly is a sports car that should be lighter stronger and 5 years newer. It should handily beat it.I thought Ford's halo track car would lay waste to the c8? I'd be interested in knowing what a PP1 Mustang GT does on this track to better compare it to the c8 z51's time.
If im Ford, im embarrassed the base model c8 equals the 350's on track performance.
JFC, the track focused c8's are going to butt rape Ford's offerings when they come out.
At least we're getting the Mustang Mach E soon!
This is modded but none of the other track alignments vettes zl1s ferraris(and there 2 week track notice) or demons are.So modded 350R puts up a nice time?
yawn...
The title of the video mentions the GT350, not the GT350R. Also, a GT350 is pictured in the video.Since when did the 350R come with rear seats?
It most certainly is. All of the modifications in my sig pretty much transformed the car dramatically.Just shows the potential of the S550 chassis and these GT350Rs for fun track use is shockingly good.
Give credit where it’s do.
