hey guys as some of you may already know Multimatic Motorsports was directly involved with Ford in the development of the 2012 Boss 302R. As they are now also currently involved in the development of the 2015 GT350R. They participate in the Continental Tire Challenge Series and were racing at Road America last weekend. While attending I walked into their paddock and came upon three mechanics who I began to question about the GT350. " so I understand you guys are helping to develop the new GT350 and a prototype will be running at the next event in Austin TX" Big smiles from all three. "so what can you tell me about it"? "well we really can't say much about that but YES we are involved in the program". At that point two of the mechanics got up and walked away leaving me one on one with the other. "So is there anything you can tell me"?? again a big smile but not much else. So finally after about 10 minutes of general conversation I try one more time. "so there's a rumor going around the forums that the car will have a flat-plane crank V8. I've also seen spy vids. and it sure seems to have a high revving engine" He finally throws me a bone and says "so you've seen vids of the cars being tested and did you notice a baffle in the exhaust outlets" "why yes I did"! he goes on to say "well there's a reason for that and it has something to do with changing the way the car sounds and that's all I can say". To me that's about as close to an admission that a flat plane crank is being used and that Ford is trying to hide that distinctive sound!!! Certainly not definitive but damn close IMO!!!!!
