[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 14795058, member: 68944"] 350r is all the things sexy and proper. I'm thinking one of those with a nice tasteful aftermarket sound system, and some corbeaus (add 30lbs of sound/display, take away 50lbs of seats; (52lbs recarro's vs 26lbs corbeau's) will be a great all around barn stormer with enough amenities for enjoyable cruising, windows down of course. (Or option in the ac) Throw on an equal length exhaust, high flow inlet, and tune that the performance engineers building the voodoo likely wish they could run if the EPA/OEM standards/ et al weren't mandatory metrics to have to comply to, and a 625hp 3500lbs track star seems to be the resultant recipe. Epic. I bet the chassis engineers wish they could run delrin/tubular and all the race track toys. God the car would simply rally on a circuit with some of these things. It will be phenomenal stock, but it's just begging to have the regulated stuff pulled off for track day-we don't care about trees or nvh- good old fun. I'd imagine the performance engineers at ford/Chevy/dodge et al get tired of people thinking/lamenting/discrediting them as if they don't know about these things. I think it's incredible that the engineers find a way to get as much performance out of these factory high performance models like z28's, z06's, hellcats, gt500's and gt350's as they do with all the EPA, OEM, etc hurdles and limits. Chevy now gets 1.16g's out of the z06-without super stiff bushings... It's just getting crazy. Dodge gets 707hp with a warrenty that passed durability testing that would render even a stout engine builder a failure. The gt500 was doing 200mph for $55k. The gt350r is set to run 11.9's, 1g+, 180mph+, over 70+ through the slalom, the ring in about 7:35 or so, and on and on all with rubber bushings, unequal length headers, and emissions compliant exhaust, egr, on and on. Imagine what fords performance engineers could do given free rein and a $75k sticker price cap, no regulations, just build the track car to end all track cars discussions. I'm impressed they get so much out of these cars with eom restrictions. I bet the s550 track packages like factory ford gt3 and pro stock cars are going to be phenomenal. I'm excited to see lemans spec and cobra jet offerings. I guess I can only end that tirade rant with... AMERICA. [/QUOTE]
