The new Shelby GT350 R is one of the competitors in Road & Track's PCOTY. A hefty formidable lineup...

You're still here?

That's a HELL of a lineup indeed.

Are the 350R, CTS?V, and Z06 the 3 cheapest there?

The Cayman GT4 starts in the 80s too.... problem is they're all sold out. ADM's are rampant as well.

Gotcha

I never know which Porches are which. Too many letters, numbers, and not enough interest to learn them.

But damn, how can you have the exact same design for so many years, and keep turning out stunning automobiles.

Cayman GT4, mid-engine platform with 911 turbo levels of power, and apparently a very well sorted out car.

MotorTrend's YouTube reveiw is fairly entertaining watching, I think.

If Porsche had made more, they'd have sold more.

Biggest reason I hit MotorTrend's YouTube channel is Randy Pobst is a lot of fun to watch behind the wheel of pretty much anything. The dude enjoys his job, and it shows.

Most of the folks doing their reviews are pretty entertaining too.

The other big reason, for me, is that Hot Rod is part of the company too. Power Tour, Drag Week, Road Kill, are all good ways to kill a half hour in front of a computer.

On sale, sort of.

Released, not yet.

Plenty of test cars around though.

alright so the car I saw wasn't a GT350. when I originally thought I saw it, it was just out of the corner of my eye as it was going by. turns out it was just a clown with a weird wing.
