Nice list to choose from! The GT4 is a nice car, but it lacks grunt. The M4 is a little slower then the GT4. I guess it would depend what kind of racing do you do. AS far as lap times go, none of the three options are close to a GT500. But the operating cost would scare me.

GT350 is tough to beat as a pure handling race car, the GT500 is definitely a step up but the cost in tires is going to be a lot, and although probably faster over all than the 350, it most likely won't handle as well. The BMW or the Porsches never really impressed me much, the M4 (as I recall, was the target car for the Boss302 platform) the Porsches are complete money pits if you crunch one.

Stephane:

A quelle sortes des circuites vas-tu utiliser la voiture nouvelle?

GT500 est une belle choix pour des circuites tres vites...mais les 2020 GT350/350R et Cayman GT4 sont superieure a tous des autres circuites.

Moi? J'acheterais une 2019 ou 2020 350R !

Bonne chance...

High-school French is mandatory in the Snowy North...but it's pretty rusty.

The Boss 302 was targeted for a M3, lap time wise. M4 and GT350 are commonly grouped together for hp/weight ratio.

I would stick with the GT350 if it were me.

pour moi, je choisirai une autre 350
La 500 bien que très rapide, n’a pas de boite manuel et est aussi plus lourde
Translation for the non French speaking members:
I would choose another 350. While the 500 is very fast, it also weight more and doesn’t have a manual box

 

[Mad Hatter]

Weight and lack of a manual would make me agree with that 100%.

But more importantly.....does it come with a cup holder?.......................

Get the GT 500 , the Ford Engineers I have as friends, along with a couple of Pro Drivers would attest to the crazy speed and lap times of the Supercharged beast. We had one at the Mustang Roundup 2019 and they ( Ford ) beat the car all day on the track and it never hiccuped. Hard to get and with the chip situation it is likely to be rarer than the GT 350.
