tomas6791 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 from the article: Horsepower Kings claims the 2016 Shelby GT350R has recorded a staggering 7:32.19 lap time around the Nurburgring. If confirmed (and take this with a grain of salt), it will make the Shelby GT350R more than five seconds faster over the Camaro Z/28's 7:37.40 lap time. 4 pictures and video in the gallery .

twobjshelbys Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 You know that this source is NOTORIOUSLY unreliable. I'll reserve judgement until I see it confirmed from another source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeljgt500kr Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 I will remind everyone that the 2012 ZR1 had a documented lap time of 7:19.63 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secondo Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 7:08.69 Nissan GT-R Nismo (2015) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeljgt500kr Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Exactly, and many others, so why is 7:32.19 so special? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secondo Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Because its a musclecar and quicker than the $75K Z/28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeljgt500kr Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 So you think the Ford GT350R will be substantially under $75K? I don't think so. And I thought Ford was hyping it as a track car, not a muscle car?

svttim Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Ah, last time I checked, a Mustang is not a competitor to the corvette. We will leave the Ford GT to anialate the two mentioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeljgt500kr Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 If the new Ford GT350R is pushing over $85K, like I think they want, it will be a direct Z06 competitor, so we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secondo Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 My guess is $55k for GT350 and $70k for the R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie0909 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Instead of making a car that can go fast, perhaps GOVERNMENT MOTORS should concentrate on repaying all those billions in loans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
