Awesome feat for ford. Cheapest car on the comparison by quite a bit. Apparently they did an amazing job with the overall balance of the car. Still wish the car could have been at least 300 lbs lighter though.

No it's not. It's only a few hundred less than the ATS-V.

Not if you add the track pack and recaros

It's like $7000 cheaper than the ATS-V as tested.

I liked the part where the gt350r was like 6 seconds faster around the track than the V.

Price wise, the gt350r was $67,465 and the cadilac ats-v was $74,360. That's almost exactly 10% whether you use net or gross math's. That's a substantial difference.

I'd personally reappoint a 350r with he tech pack and rear seat, etc. 100lbs isn't making or breaking a track car, but the lack of duality breaks a road car IMO.

The Cadillac is so much slower that you'd have to put many mods, stickier tires, and basically retune the entire package to reach those lap times. It's admittedly a luxobarge with sports car character and pinache. The gt350r is a focused track car that's streetable. The ats-v is a capable high performance luxury sedan. I don't think many are cross shopping the 2 haha.

I'd buy the jag, er I mean reappointed gt350r. I like my leather jacket and messy hair as well, and consider the politically correct age a down turn for society. Chuch.
