Gt350

[Seer]

It will be interesting to see how the GT350 and Z28 stack up when Randy Pobst gets behind the wheel.

Well he was very wrong about the 1LE vs the 2015 GT Performance Pack. This years SCCA and NASA results show the gtpp beating up on the 1LE consistently so far.

So I've lost some faith in the GM biased Pobst.

That v8 was reported by horsepower kings which is a click bait website. Not true.

Non of the American car manufacturers are releasing cars that are less potent than their competitors previous gen. The gt350 has been rumored to be running the ring in the high 7:20s to low 7:30s. As well as posting faster national track times as well. All rumors but when ford releases the numbers I am betting it will be ahead. It's no their thing to release something behind their competitor.

I think we actually discussed this the one night at the bar lol

I didn't see that one, but the previous ones I've seen him in have been pretty reasonable and unbiased IMO. Hard to argue against a comparison with the same driver back to back on the same track. In the end they're both pretty great cars that are likely to battle each other pretty closely on any given day.

He did a comparison of the 15 GTPP and the 15 1LE. Essentially on that given day, the 1LE beat it in most categories. In real world racing in SCCA and NASA, the GTPP has been putting the screws to the 1LE.

Oh that R R.......

[u1arunit]

I do like the R R. Will they only come with the dark wheels though?

Btw.. I gotta ask.. When is the new GT500 version coming? Surely while 500+ HP is good more is obviously better! Ha

As delivered from the factory the 1LE is superior to the GTPP, mostly because of tires and dampers, so in the real world those advantages can go away pretty quickly. Although I think a bone stock 1LE won nationals last year in the "stock" class F Street. The '15 GTs are all the rage now on the autocross forums though, still very limited parts available for them though in the "decent" suspension department. The factory dampers are terrible just like they were on the '11-'14s.

In actuality, the 1LE is not beating factory GTPP in competition so far this year. Now whether or not this is the stock class, I'm not so sure. The 1LE is losing to the GTPP in various road course leagues as well.

BMR has a good bit of suspension goodies out so far, from cradle, and differential bushings, various springs for drag and road course/auto-x, IRS lock outs, and Viking has adjustable shocks out for drag and handling.

Just curious where are you finding these results? There are autocrosses all over the country, and I'm not aware of many cars being raced (road racing) that are anywhere near stock. Even my ESP car has a ton of mods and it is about as unmodified as a "road race" car gets. Hard to compare modded cars to modded cars. Plus, which is an advantage to the Mustang for sure, for every Camaro I see autocrossed, tracked, hillclimbed, whatever, I probably see 20 Mustangs. They just barely seem to exist in that world from what I have seen.

Watched and listened to those vids....time to do some laundry...

[thedak]

I dig it....

[FPenvy]

not gonna lie those carbon fiber wheels that it comes with are pretty nice.

whats the bolt pattern on mustangs? lol

[Seer]

5x114.3. Usually a rather high offset. +40 to +60

so they fit the Z then lol well maybe not with that offset that's pretty high. think my stock wheels are like +22 F and +34 R

regardless I do like the wheels and I love me some carbon fiber.

sidenote someone at my work pulled in yesterday with an old red GT350. never seen it before but it was pretty clean.
