I think the GT350 is going to come in right under the Z/28 in performance. It as some really great street tires with the Michelin Pilot Super Sports but the Z/28 has what amounts to track tires grooved for a little bit of rain. Also the magneto shocks aren't quite as good as the spool valve dampers on the Z nor are the steel brakes equivalent to the Z's CCB's.
Not that I'm complaining mind you as I think the GT350 will be a **** fine street car with serious track capability where the Z/28 is a great track car that also happens to work on the street.
Hopefully Ford has a GT350R waiting in the wings specifically to embarrass the Z/28

I will agree. Not crapping on GT350 car, just thinking the Z28 is still a bit better at the road course because of what it is equipped with.

That argument is going to irritate me for a while. There'll be a bunch of ignorant Camaro fans going on about how Ford couldn't beat the Z28. They're not trying to! They wanted the 350 to be a track capable but road performance car. It's a little softer, with a bit better road tire. Ford knows that the extreme majority of 350's will never see track time, and chose to focus on road quality.

Sounds like it's replacing the BOSS then (which I haven't heard anything about being made on the S550). Thing sounds BADASS. And, at least from this profile, looks the most like a Mustang I've seen out of any of the 2015 pics I've seen. I'd take one ![Big Grin](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Me thinks there are going to be lots of GT owners that do a bumper swap

There are definite body changes on that car. The stance for one is killer.
The wheels and brake package look nasty. Definitely made for actual road racing. Looks like lower body splitters all around as well.

Additional pics + a few interior shots. Alcantara overload. The Recaro's look a bit more aggressive as well.

This car levels the playing field. Its easy to tell it meets and even more likely exceeds the Z-28. I just can't believe some think it will fall short, by the slightest fraction. You must be scared of your own shadow to even think like that. ![Doh](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/doh.gif)

I choose the Mustang on looks and value. But you have to give credit where credit is due. Then there is the history that 1LE Camaros have versus 2013/14 TP cars and 2015 PP car. Not good for the Mustang. What logical reason do you have to expect a $50k car beats a $75k car?
