Yes, completely stock, no driver.

I weighed the stock battery it's lighter than the Boss -- mid 20lbs -- can't find my notes....

I was thinking of going to a braille battery like I did in the Boss. What do you think? There is a 9lb battery and I believe a 6lb battery that might fit our application.

Got the Watson Roll bar in today an re-used the trim panels and Rear seat delete from Wally, so this car can be returned to stock, if needed. Great weather here so I'm up to 550 break in miles 8)

May I ask... With the cost of 2 350R's. would it not of been cheaper to grab a GT or Shelby TP car and build your own the way you would want. A TP car is not far off of an R. Please remember I'm a Boss owner that is still paying off the boss. Come on april 2017!!
that is unless your looking to keep it so one day it will be collectable. But from what I read you are into some serious tracking.
I'm sure if you owned a Shelby TP car you could finished it off to be way better than an R for less.
Not that it means anything>>> But I do like the Red stripe delete package. I'm just tired of stripes. But that's just me.
Best of luck with your build and most important be safe out there!!

I did the math and a TP car would have come close with mods and wouldn't have had the CF wheels. I'm extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to get another car.

@j3st3r Brian, Call John Phillips 734-759-0555 x-202. Hope to catch up!
 
Been rather busy at work lately - always a good thing for a multitude of reasons - heard a rumor but didn't have a chance to confirm with you directly and now have had a chance to get back on TMO......

Congrats on the new R, Nick! Was out in my BOSS on Saturday evening enjoying what appears to be the last weekend of the 'nice' fall weather before the cold weather sets in and was wondering if I'd see you out accruing miles in the R. Hope Sebring works out for you next month! Looking forward to reading more of your insights on the next generation and hope our paths cross in 2017!! ENJOY!!!

Have to ask - what is going to become of the original Black BOSS? 'Light' restoration, keep as-is or???

Got the lightweight Braille battery yesterday, and temporarily put it in the Boss for VIR this weekend -- will move it over to Wally Jr after that:

Weighs in at 6.5 lbs. OE Boss is 29 lbs and 350 is 27 lbs :)
In for reviews. Thinking about this weight saver mod next year!
Have Fun at VIR
