Looking for a new toy - and the GT350 only seems natural to me - especially after the MY 2017 upgrades - but I have been a bit skeptical (or disapointed?) about its performance after seraching a bit.
Lap time or track capabilities
Motor Trend seems reasonably reliable with a quite capable and neutral Randy Pobst
On their 2016 best car shootout the GT350R does Laguna in 1:36;11 (on ultra wide Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2)
The Porsche 911 Carrera S does Laguna Seca in 1:36:44 (on Michelin Super Sport)
Same driver same day. And it's an "R"!!!

Top Speed
Hennessey Performance test top speed at 169mph ish which equals to 270kmh

A new Focus RS top speed testshows 273kmh which is roughly the very same ...

I reckon it takes the RS more time but still...
