[QUOTE="DrumReaper, post: 16388556, member: 197357"] since I had a 2016 350R (GR048), I can help answer that. The GT350R was an awesome car. It checked all the right boxes for me... engine, trans, exhaust, handling, braking (+++), ride and ergonomics. It also left a few unchecked boxes... crap paint, panel gaps from clip deterioration, may-pop engine. plus, I had to remove the carbons to keep from watching it like a hawk in public and I always scraped the front splitter no matter where I went. All that being said, though, the car was still a phenomenal machine and I do miss it. As for the B302... it checks nearly all the boxes the GT350R did, except for handling, braking, trans and ergonomics. The MT82 is like most China crap... quirky and unreliable, so I’m going to swap in a MGW shifter. The center stack with radio is lackluster so I’m going to do something there. The brakes suck so I’m going GT350R brake kit. Handling is off so I plan to do some trickery there along with reducing unsprung weight where possible (adding the GT350R brake kit will likely lead to lighter wheels to offset weights). living with the B302 is much easier than the R as I don’t worry about the paint as much and the scraping is down to minimal now. I’ve had a B302 with basic seats and the Recaros and I must say that the Recaros are a considerable improvement, so I will add a set of GT350 recaros up front. the Roadrunner is much more dependable than the Hummingbird so I’m also not as concerned with engine longevity in the B302. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
