The question still seem to be if this is true as the ordering guide says they are included with the R package.

The R comes standard with the CF wheels. Idk how many times we need to say it. The stupid thing though, is that the R is available with the Tech package, but the standard GT350 cannot be had with the Track package and Electronics package together - doesn't make sense!

Yeah I know. I was trying to be nice by not just saying that. I don't understand whey they still have that on the home page. I also agree with you on the Tech/Track package thing. They should have another option that adds the spoiler, strut tower and the cooling (oil, trans, diff). Really I just think those things should be standard on THIS car.

I agree, but I bet a lot of these cars will never be driven, sadly...no point putting all the coolers on for cars that'll sit. And then for those that ARE tracked, they'll probably get aftermarket parts lol

>>shrugs<< While it may not be 100% carbon fiber Dymag does carbon fiber barrels with either aluminum spokes and hubs or magnesium spokes and hubs. Last time I checked they were around 2500.00 apiece.

Yeah,....that is weird that Ford would do it that way. I wonder why?

I wouldn't lose much sleep over it, Ford seems to be doing oddball things with the new Mustang in general like the rental fleet only V6.

Yeah,....I agree with that. It's all about profit, in my opinion.
I'm not too interested in the non R car anyways. The R car is really different than the non R car. Huge differences.

At the North American Track Tour for the GT350 at Laguna Seca, a Ford engineer said that the differences between the two cars were between cosmetic and the tuning of the suspension. The R is tuned more for the track than the non R, but that all the or almost all of the hardware is the same between the two.

I'm not sure sure about that. Here's a video to what's different.

I should have clarified the two cars he was talking about were the GT350R and the none R but with the trak pak. Oh and btw, the person I was speaking to was the very one in the video you posted.

Yes!
I'm glad someone brought this up. Did you see the size of the tires on this machine?!?! They are steamrollers. Fronts and rears.
