Probably a CTF car.

Order banks don't even open until mid-May for the car.

I like the non R version better because I don't like high flying wings.

My opinion is opposite. I hate the looks of the R version. Looks Pep Boys ricer to me. Love the standard GT350. I would totally get one of those in black.

I might have missed it but what are the transmission options for the regular GT350?

Both GT350's, base and R, use the Tremec 3160. But I don't believe what ratios being utilized have been released.

I agree i don't like the rear wing on the R. I like every thing else on the R. The wheels look a lot better on the R, as well as the longer front spoiler.

I Like, saw an orange (edit: standard GT) one in person on the hwy the other day looked good. GT350 would be just fine in my drive way no shame at all.

Here is a picture from a month ago of his Impala. He still has a modified '76 Z28 and a couple of other cars.

Back on topic, he's like, GT350 redline was what

I love high winding small blocks, so the 5.2 FPC has my attention. 8,200 RPM stock is a fairly big deal in the production V8 world for us. The LS7 and the 5.0 could spin to 7,800ish with ease with minor mods due to their relatively light rotating assembly

I tend to abide by the backronym for rice:

Race
Inspired
Cosmetic
Enhancement

If it makes a car look like a racer when it really isn't, and is just done to make a car look cool then its rice. Otherwise, I don't really have a problem with it.

I would love to see the wind tunnel testing and downforce evaluation that was done on different wing configurations for the 350 R.
