GT350R - The RING Time!!!!

[Lemers]

Check this article out. The GT350R is almost 5 SECONDS faster than the Z28. This is great. Now only if I could drive it like a pro.

Here's a legitimate response from the gentleman at Ford that is in a position to provide a 'Ring time...

Awesome! Are there official times for the new C7 and Z06? I wonder how it held up compared to those.

The old ZO6 is faster still, I would hope the new one is at least as quick. Viper Srt10 ACR is still one of the fastest.

Oh snap! I bet there are some on this site who think the hell cat will run consistent 7:20s

 

[DSG2003SVT]

I figured the vettes would be faster, I was just curious how close it was. I can't seem to find any "official" C7 times. The C7 Z51 looks to be running 7:30 or better, but those are individuals, so I don't know for sure if those are completely stock.

Horsepower Kings is a shady blog with generally shady info. I'll wait for a legit source.

What a **** tease

There is no such thing as an "official" time at the ring. That's why the times are so subjective, and really worthless to compare. That's the main reason ford doesn't want to touch a toe in the pond, and "go there".....

Really...:rollseyes

 

[Lemers]

Sorry if I posted something that Ford hasn't made official. I guess I let the excitement cloud my judgement. Still waiting on the GT350/Z28 comparison for the question "who's faster?"

No problem Lemers. Quashing HPK spew is a constant whack-a-mole battle. When/if Ford decides to share that data we'll have it here ASAP.

Just to add fuel to the fire, does anyone doubt that it can beat the Z28 by 5 seconds? I was hoping for that kind of beating to be honest.

I do right now because weight and HP are unknown.


The DSV dampners seem to work better than mag ride and without knowing the weight and hp differences 5 seconds is quite a bit but I don't know why people care about ring times they are not run the same day so it does not mean as much as a head to head same day test done on us soil. Now if it comes in really light with wel more than 500hp then I can see it.

Entirely believable. Long track, 5 sec not the same as normal 2 mile track. Lighter car, more power, had a target to beat. That said ford will not release number, so it is left to pointless Internet debate

2015 z06 unofficially broke the 7 min mark.. 6:58 I think. Off course the gt350 is faster than the z28 otherwise there would be no reason for its existence

 

[01SVTSnake]

and it came from HPK. GM confirmed the numbers are not true

[az20115.0]

Yea I just saw that. But I bet the gt350 number is pretty accurate. What's more unbelievable than anything else is the official Nissan gtr nismo time

Too late, lol.
