And I would hope the 350 is 3500 and the r is 3400. Would make my day

Carbon fiber wheels, Stereo delete, A/C delete, rear seat delete among others.
I get that. 130lbs sounds like a lot to me for those differences, although I admittedly forgot about the AC and stereo delete since it is an option with electronics pack. Still seems like a lot though. I was thinking anything beyond a 100lb difference would be a stretch, but maybe not with those considerations as well.

He said half the weight savings was the wheels... He threw out the 540hp number pretty easily, but he said that's the inside Ford rumor... The weight I really got him to say without actually saying it.... I also told him I have a Boss and I want one but am on the fence. Seemed to get him to tell me more about the R. He might have been pulling my chain, but he seemed to have a cat that ate the canary look on his face.
Not sure where the skepticism comes from about the weight loss. It says right in the original Ford press release that the R model loses over 100 lbs compared to the regular GT350. The only question is, what does the regular one weigh?
"Shelby GT350R is more than 130 pounds lighter than the Shelby GT350 Track Pack model, which has proven its durability in multiple 24-hour racetrack tests."

You might be right with the Boss LS price.. I was thinking it was 10k more, but it might have been more like 8k... Which would make the R base more like 63k... But I'm sure you add in the ac and radio and it's going to be mid upper 60s... Which might be too steep for me. Time will tell.
One more thing too.. Imo in person the R wheels don't look as cool as the regular 350 wheels. But that's personal preference.
caught this on Instagram last night. Seems some of the execs tend to take them home and what not.
That rear spoiler looks terrible
i like the track pack one better too
I really hope we can order Track/Tech together. There's parts of each I absolutely want.
One of the best sounding stock mustangs I've heard. Good angry sound. Poppy on deceleration like some flow master outlaws
damn this car sounds good
According to online sources, a baseline GT (manual) is 3705lbs. Im going to assume that the GT350 weighs in around the same. Subtract 130lbs from that, and you get 3570lbs. So I can believe the 3500-ish weight predictions.
I love the sound of it though, and the design is growing on me every time I see it. I cant wait to see one in person.

A "base" boss 302 with recaros and the diff was $5000 less than a Laguna Seca, $44,000 vs $49,000
They already said it was carbon fiber intensive over the regular GT so you'd be wrong on the curb weight.
think the magnaride cancels out the most of the weight saved by the carbon fiber
