It's a bit more difficult to pinpoint the direct competitor for the base GT350. My first guess is the ZL1, but the 350 is obviously a bit more track-oriented than that version of the Camaro. Maybe the Z/28 is the competition of BOTH versions of the GT350; one version that will keep up with/outperform it, and one that will give you most of the performance at a more affordable price.

I'm crossing my fingers that the base GT350 will stay around 50k.
I agree with your take on it, I think the base GT350 will be aimed at a more affordable option, with the 350R being the expensive all-out car. Plus the ability to turn a standard GT350 into a 350R with some FRPP dealer available parts.

Now lets see if it gets a set of turbos and a GT500 badge next year...
