[QUOTE="Cobra03, post: 15908009, member: 3428"] After a long absence I am back with a new GT350 - and still have my 520 rwhp 03 Cobra. I bought the GT350 to go road racing. It is the perfect tool - 500+ hp, NA, 8,200 rpm, perfectly balanced. A scalple for the track. I have had 600 plus HP supercharged track cars, they just are not the same. I am excited for the GT500 - for other people. It is not what I want. It will be heavier, and prodcue more heat (which will require more cooling, heavier still). All to produce more power that I neither want nor need. If you are really a road racer, and not a dragster, you will know that 500 hp is plenty. Any more is scary, and you are a danger to yourself and others. Very few of us have the road racing skills to really handle even 500 hp. Go look at the reviews of the experts who will tell you if you want to road race a Corvettte, buy the Grand Sport over the Z06 or ZR1. If you want a Camaro - you should buy the SS 1LE over the LS1. Road racing is about precision, balance, dynamics, and managing heat. All of which the GT350 does perfectly. The GT350 is the car I have been waiting for for 20 years. It is perfect for my application. Sure the GT500 will have more power and therefore be faster, but will it be better for road racing? I doubt it. At least not for me. So bring on the GT500! An awesome car for people who want 700 hp. And leave the GT350 to us hard core road racers. Honestly if they stop making the GT350 in favor of the GT500, there is a possibility that the GT350 will maintain its value for this very reason - there are a lot of people for whom it is exactly what they want, and the GT500 will not be a replacement - it is something else entirely.
