The one thing that I haven't heard talked about much is how nice the Tremec tranny is in the R's. I took mine to get 3M this morning and it's unbelievably surprising how confident and tough that sucker feels. Serious pain in th a** to put in reverse but that's so people like me don't put it in reverse on the track while doing 50mph... ![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

350r did pretty well in this months c&d lightning lap. beat out bmw m4 gts and cayman gt4 which as great value for the speed. still behind the old z28 time though so can expect it to be beat by next version of the camaro

BTW anyone notice some serious road hunting on uneven surfaces with those giant front tires? Steering in sport mode seems to quiet that down a bit - must be damped a bit more.

the z28 and 350r seem so close on paper, wonder what the deciding factor is. is it the monster torque on the z28? is there a track preference for these cars? I know the LL is a dubious exercise but i seem to recall the z28 besting the R several times before.

Oh yeah! With limited seat time I've noticed our roads In Calgary toss you around quite a bit with the Sport Cup2's. Almost feel like Steve and Doug Butabi off Night at the Roxbury smashing my head around.. maybe exagerating a little...

Thanks!
OT: Had a beautiful Audi R8 follow me up on a highway and once traffic was clear we both got on it and it was a pure sound fest. I think he had an expensive exhaust on his V8 as it was as loud as mine - sounded incredible - and they look just awesome. He loved the GT350. I know it's slower than all our Porsches and these Shelby's but seeing one today in motion pretty much confirmed the R8 needs to be in my garage also.

Yup agreed - even better as you can get a nice used 6 speed for a good price.
Everyone be sure to tune into IMSA racing - GT350R-C qualified for pole position. Probably another victory coming. IMSA official on Youtube is good about broadcasting the full races.

"Buy one. I love this car!"
Nuff said.
No offense but who gives a rats **** about panel gaps? It's a stealer track beast and I'm looking forward to not worrying about value, resale, track abuse, or how many miles I log. Hopefully mine spends most of its life covered in dust and clag.....
