10 more grand for that.
The guys buying these cars will be the first ones to the grocery store and mid pack on road course race day. All in what you want I suppose.
If you are a serious road course racer, you don't choose a Mustang as your weapon of choice. You pick a two seater thats closer to 3000lbs rather than 4000lbs.
Woohoo you can beat a camaro, what are you going to do next to real track pedigreed, track oriented cars?
Do you watch road racing? Do you see how well the Boss 302R/S does compared to Porsches, Aston Martins, and Z28Rs? The GT350R will be in good company. The regular GT350 may need some more track oriented tires for serious track work, but it will be right with or well ahead of anything within $20,000 of it.
If you want a C6 Z06, which I'm guessing is what you're alluding to, I'd say to just go ahead and get one. I think that this car will be practically as quick, better built, and much less mid-life crisis than C6 Z06. The regular 350 will also have a back seat so that your kids can enjoy it. I'm selfish, so I want an R.
A car built to be a two-seater will always have a better starting point than one built to be a four-seater. There's no way around that. You have to compare the GT350 to the Camaro ZL1/Z28, BMW M3/4, Porsche 911, and Mercedes AMG C-class (if they even make that anymore). It will do plenty well against all of those, and it's easily cheaper than all but the ZL1. When Ford says that they're going to build the most track capable Mustang in history, don't expect it to be focused on straight line performance or big power numbers…or not a Mustang.
