[QUOTE="Tob, post: 16104521, member: 83412"] The GT350 carryover GOR panel from BASF/MAGNA indeed offers substantial savings. [ATTACH=full]1544745[/ATTACH] Outside of the skin at the very fore end of the vehicle (the fascia), I'd argue that the bumper was of significant savings as well. Not as high off the ground as the GOR but Ford's decision to use an aluminum extrusion on the GT350 (and most likely the new GT500 as well) offers significant savings over the steel bumper used on lesser models. The aluminum bumper is [i]extremely[/i] light. [ATTACH=full]1544747[/ATTACH] I'd like to be able to argue that the SMC composite hood and fenders offered up some savings as well but at this point I'm of the understanding that there was a net gain here.
