The GT350R

[DGRacing]

I'm probably the only one who would prefer a single 4" or 4.5" chrome or matte black exhaust tip over the duals it has now.

And what's going on with the quarter window on the R pics above? Looks like its removable.

Not sure, but I think the windows were tinted for show.

Wish we could have gotten that close at LA.

I think what you are seeing is the actual opening of the window inside the vehicle. The view from the inside looks much smaller than the view from the outside.

I was going to jump the rope to get a better look inside at BJ but too many Ford people around. I think the window look is just from the tint, I have seen that in other Mustangs too.

Here are a couple more close-up photos of the 350R from Barrett Jackson, shot by BMO's own "captdistraction":

I agree...I've been tortured now since the hype surrounding the revamped mustang...I realized I needed to wait a year for a purchase then started hearing about the gt350...wait continues...one day, one day I will be driving that car! Lol

Me checking multiple forums every 5 minutes doesn't help my patience. A steady stream of 1 piece of infor every few days would be awesome. Like slight revisions to the order guide, the last digit to the price...stupid stuff...I need entertainment!!!!

OK here is a slight tidbit.

There are brake ducts integrated into the front fascia already on the inside edges of the lower "fangs" that channel air to the deflectors located on the lower front suspension links.

Diff cooler is mounted in the rear at the diffuser exit to reduce overall piping run length (as opposed to '13/'14 GT500s that had these radiators in the front grille).

Composite oil pan is covered by the front aero belly pan so no worry about smacking that if you jump a curb on-track.

 

[ford20]

I wonder how much the composite oil pan weighs and if it will fit a normal 5.0 block

Today I'm liking the wing better. LOL I like how the stripes reflect off of it.

New Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R to Debut at Sebring



http://sportscar365.com/imsa/ctscc/multimatic-confirms-new-mustang-to-debut-at-sebring-plus-full-lineup/

Multimatic Motorsports has confirmed the new Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R will premiere at Sebring, the second round of the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge season, after running its venerable Ford Mustang Boss 302Rs at Daytona to start the year.

The new Mustang premiered earlier this month at the Detroit Auto Show, however no formal confirmation was made of the car’s debut date. It had reportedly been slated for a midseason debut, but this announcement brings the debut closer to the start of the year.

The new Mustang was listed within the preseason CTSC car regulations, although without most of its technical specifications outlined except its tire size.

The team has also confirmed its full-season driver lineup. Scott Maxwell and Billy Johnson will partner in the No. 15 Ford, with Jade Buford and team newcomer Austin Cindric in the sister No. 158 Ford.

“I couldn’t be more excited for the new season,” Johnson said. “With the new cars coming, I think we’re going to be really strong this year. I’m happy to be co-driving with Scott and I’m looking forward to some podium finishes!”

Cindric, the 16-year-old son of Team Penske president Tim Cindric who already has driven a wide variety of machines, replaces Ian James.

James will still represent Miller Racing team sponsors Total Care Auto and Prestige Financial in the No. 23 Alex Job Racing Porsche 911 GT America in the GTD class for the 2015 TUDOR United SportsCar Championship season.

“What an exciting season this is going to be!” said James. “With the two-car Multimatic/Miller effort continuing with two new Mustangs this year, and our expansion into the Alex Job Racing team, it’s going to be very busy! We’ll be heading into Daytona thinking about our great friend Roger Miller, and how much we miss him. I know he’d be pleased with the way that the 2015 season is shaping up.”

Johnson set an unofficial track record at Daytona in the Boss 302R during the Roar Before the Rolex 24 test, and Buford is the defending race polesitter.

I know this has nothing to do with the GT350R but that pic makes no sense, Darth Vader didn't stay calm and used his emotions with the Force that's how he slipped into the Dark Side.

I don't know...compared to me, he's pretty calm.

Did nobody see the 350R CTSCC news? :-\

Yes I saw they're unleashing it at Sebring 8) Let's hope it dominates.

Awesome. Just as I was told last August. That source has been dead on accurate. ;D

Did nobody see the 350R CTSCC news? :-

Great news!

You gotta admit though, two guys ignoring the news to debate about darth vader "keeping calm" is pretty damn funny lol

 

[VoodooBoss]

Also, I've heard that CCB's are not going to be offered at all and there just wasn't enough of a difference to justify the added expense.

Since there haven't been any pics and no Ford exec mentioned them, I figured that has to be the case. Despite the 'order form' leak.
