GET READY!

[Intmdtr]

sweet

[Burns]

Nice...R for race..........................................

[tulowd]

vroom vroom

[Not4you]

type-R !!!

[Ghost Rider]

well that logo is a slight improvement over the last cobra r one, however still needs some work

[Blackmare]

Looking forward to seeing the specs.

[Amsoil Guy]

I hope they have it at the Toronto Auto Show!

[Tailites]

can hardy wait for all the GTR bum smoochers to tell us how slow this car is...

(yawn)

[onDjuice]

Not a fan of the new body style. But that gt350 is looking pretty NICE..
As for how slow it is no numbers are up yet..

[TheMustangShow]

Rear Seat delete and Carbon Brakes on the R

...and some other goodies.

[Armen]

I just hope it looks mean. It's hard to make that front end work.

[TheMustangShow]

I just hope it looks mean. It's hard to make that front end work.

Gonna look like the GT350 Armen...from what I've seen so far, the visual and functional tweaks to the R's body are not really appearance altering.

[Armen]

Well I guess that's not too bad. It's the best looking iteration of the new Mustang so far. Unfortunately, that's not saying much.

It's that island between the hood and the grille that wrecks it for me.

[Laffs]

I hope this ones at NAIAS.

[TheMustangShow]

I hope this ones at NAIAS.

It will be.

[saleenman]

Can't wait to see what it looks like and what is in it.

[Laffs]

It will be.

Between this and the rumoured supercar replacement, I'm going to need many paper bags to keep from hyper ventalating everywhere,

Interesting, be surprised if the R comes with a Factory Cage though...

[Not4you]

LMAO, yeah.

[bluetoy]

My thinking is that the new GT350R will be a race car not a street car. Like the Boss302R was. Likely will come with no VIN and fully equipped right out of the box to compete on the racetrack.

[bluetoy]

Of course I hope it will be a step up for the street like the Boss 302 LS was.

SHELBY GT350R MUSTANG: MOST TRACK-CAPABLE PRODUCTION MUSTANG EVER BUILT COMING TO U.S., CANADA LATER THIS YEAR
A combination of changes to aerodynamics and suspension tuning to the new Shelby® GT350R Mustang leads to most race-ready road-legal Mustang ever
Significant engineering innovations result in weight savings, aero improvements to benefit on-track performance; Ford is the first major automaker to introduce carbon fiber wheels as standard equipment on Shelby GT350R Mustang
New Shelby GT350R, a limited-production performance Mustang, will be available later this year


Specs from FORD: https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2015/01/12/shelby-gt350r-mustang.html

[Ghost Rider]

Shelby emblem on the front is horrible...big rectangle block...

snake cut out is by far better IMO

[TheMustangShow]

Emblems?

This is the most potent STANG ever to roll off a line!

Ford also making it available without stripes and you can order AC and Stereo in it too, if you don't want to save the weight.

[Ghost Rider]

^^^oh c'mon man...you gotta admit the emblem on your car is better than that one???


could be a million $$ car, if the emblem ain't right...it ain't right!! LOL

[TheMustangShow]

^^^oh c'mon man...you gotta admit the emblem on your car is better than that one???


could be a million $$ car, if the emblem ain't right...it ain't right!! LOL

They could put the Pinto logo on the side of this and I'd still drive it LOL!

This thing with some slicks, is going to be EPIC...

[Armen]

By potent, you mean track capable, I assume. Cause it's the same motor with the same lower torque range that you thought was a fail, initially.

[TheMustangShow]

Yes and on Road Course to be specific...

This R will do exactly what it was made to do and humble a few cars that cost twice as much in the the right hands.


On the Drag Strip, it would probably lose to a '14 GT500.

[TheMustangShow]

Think Ford have sent a message now, that if Straight line speed and launch is the goal for your S550...The FORD RACING catalog is here and open for business for your Blower and Live axle swap needs, as they don't have a Factory Box Stang for that anymore.

[Armen]

Well, rumour is there's still a GT500 to come down the pipe... Maybe that will be a straight line performer.

[abeltrame]

Neat go fast upgrades. Car is cool and all but still don't like the low torque #'s, not a fan of the spoiler...or the front clip

I think the 12/13 BOSS 302's and 13/14 Shelbys will hold their value pretty good. Same for C6 Z06's. The new stuff is good don't get me wrong, but they went a different direction than I would have preferred.

Only car that has me drooling is the fatcat

[Armen]

^^^ The direction can be adjusted with a bit of creativity :)

Did Steve Magnante just say on BJ that the new GT350R redlines at 8250? I heard him say something abut 8250 rpm but it was muddled after that.

[Cancermasher]

A cool million for first gt350! Wow

nice pics! Thanks for sharing. It must look sooooo go to see it up close and in person?

[ZR]

Why does Ford continue to use rear wings that look last minute / stolen off another ride in the parking lot!
Car has great lines at the rear, why not something that looks like it actually belongs there.

[ZR]

Nice pics Nick, thanks.

[ZR]

PS, Shelby emblem in the grill is a total fail.

[Cancermasher]

sure it can easily be removed and replaced with another

[TheMustangShow]

Love the Voodoo!

[tulowd]

how about RRSSKKR

[NickD]

found this on another forum posted by a dealer, he said it was removed because of some errors (like labeling it a 15)
