Is it the GT3 R that we are talking about?

Seems it is not a street version, but a more special version of the GT3 Cup car?

Maybe they are following Ford and the Mustang.

V6 Std
V8
GT
Shelby
Shelby GT500
Boss 302
The GT350 is an aftermarket like Roush or Saleen

Moo has the think faster than type thing. Part of his charm, I love it!

Also, inside these messages a lot of hidden information exist; way more than meets the eye. "targo" is one of them : )
