Beating the Z/28 is a concern. You can bet they had a Z/28 to run against the GT350R.

This ^ I honestly don't think Ford was worried about if the PP could outperform the 1LE. Appears Ford just wanted to offer a bit more aggressive handling package then stock, where as GM offered a true track pack and props to them on that. but like Bhobbs said, Ford sells more PP than GM does 1LE.

This again. GM built one hell of a track pack for the Camaro, seems Ford didn't want to go as far as GM.
That GT350 sounds nasty. Cant wait to see some videos of that thing screaming to 8,000 RPM!!!!!!!!!!!
And I don't give a crap about ring times, the 1 time I care about is head 2 head on Laguna Seca with randy Probst doing the driving
