I was at an HPDE at mosport recently and the GT4 and 991 GT3 were close (depending on driver). I thought GT350R was roughly equivalent to a GT3, so I'm not 100% sure how GT350R vs. GT4 would go down. My GUESS is that for average joes it will be close Not trying to put down the GT350R, just not how I'd spend my money |

Better make sure thats on paper. Unless dealer GM is on crack, im sure he does not want to loose easy 10k free money as mark up. R is very mich sought after at this point.

Long story behind it, and this is actually our third Shelby through this dealer (the other 2 weren't R Models of course). You're right, few would leave $$ on the table. I haven't heard of any other R's at sticker, though there may be a few out there.

IIRC, there is some back story not being included due to an unfortunate incident. Glad it is working out for you guys @Mrs. ITLRUN.

Was quite unfortunate at the time but it's all working out. We are blessed for sure. (Not trying to be vague, just didn't want to bore the ///M community with Ford stuff.) |

I currently drive a '15 GT/PP! The '17 GT350 is built and will ship any day, should get it in a week or so and I'll trade the '15 in on it. Hubby's R Model is still several weeks out.

By the way, I was just stating a personal preference earlier. I'm not at all interested in GT350R but am putting in a deposit for a 981.2 GT4 (assuming one ever comes out). It's a good time to be a gearhead, with all these choices |

I would say a pro would be within a second driving the GT3 & GT350R while the GT4 would be a couple seconds off the two. I think an amateur would be faster in the Gt350R than they would be in a GT3, but it would be interesting to see how comfortable amateurs are with the driving dynamics of the GT4 vs 350R.

I guess it depends on the experience level of the amateur. If the person drives both cars through the corners at the same sub-limit speed, then they will be faster in the GT3 since its faster in the straights. I still think most HPDE average joes will be faster in the 350R. |

I don't see any direct comparison where I can see cornering speeds but if the Ford was so much better and in fact produced so much more downforce I would think the N'Ring time wouldn't be a whopping 7 seconds off the pace of a GT3. I don't know what I don't know but I find much of that hard to believe without data and proof. |

And you do have to heal toe in this car... Kinda wish they offered a ZF 8spd or DCT cause I know its better at shifting than I am, but hell, nothing else at $50K was remotely close. Closest was a Z51 C7 Vette, but even that is $15K+ more and historically has had really bad resale the second something slightly better in the Vette lineup happens. |
