I'm kinda falling in love with this car.

The GT350R looks great, but is overpriced for what you get. The Track Package looks like the way to go. You can always add aftermarket aero later.

Does it come with a dry sump like the Z28? If not, I think the new "lighter" 2016 Z28 would be the way to go.

GT350 with Track Package is $56,365 (according to their site):

Really good question. I have no idea.

What's the pricing on the "lite" Z/28?

Starting $48,695 GT350 and $62,195 GT350R. They sound ridiculously awesome we have a couple manufacturer test cars running around Vegas. I want to see comparos against the Vette base model vs base model, I may consider jumping off the Evo train for one.

Depending on how they actually handle real world track abuse, I would consider picking up a used one in five years or so.

I just can't bring myself to buying new and then stuffing it on the race track.

Has not been announced yet, but I suspect it will be around the same price as the current Z28 (~72k). But they may lower it to ~69k to be "around" the same price as the 350R.

Plus, anyone seriously in the market for one could probably find an employee pricing hookup.

I wish I had that luxury.

I bet if you searched around in various forums you could find a GM employee "selling" his new ___. Not sure how GM polices such things, but I know it does happen.

at 50ish k, i don't think its overpriced. off the top of my head, for that price you get

8000 rpm flat plane crank 500+ hp V8
magnetic shocks (will handle like a beast on track and still be comfortable, and not aftermarket coilovers buyer justifying his purchase kinda "still rides good" comforable)
giant track capable brakes (15.5" I think)
Awesome Recaro seats
All the cooling it needs to be track capable
warranty


so lets say you get a stripper Mustang GT for 32k
to reproduce the engine power, you'll need at least 10k. FI won't be much cheaper but will bring more heat and/or reliability issues
suspension can't be reproduced, the closes you can get will be some high end coilovers, like JRZ or Penske or something, thats 6-8k
brakes front and rear will run you on the order of 4-5k
seats 3-4k if you want something comparable, but you can go cheaper and get something in the 1-2k range
cooling (rad, oil cooler) 1k
tons of downtime while you install all this or someone else installs it, more cost if someone else installs it
no warranty

total is 56-60k assuming everything goes perfectly (which it never does)


and just for the record, if its any cheaper in 5 years, it won't be by much. I'm thinking it could be more... unless its a track beat car, but then you're getting a track beat car

I think the R is overpriced. I think the base GT350 with the track package is worth it.

If I had to guess, I believe that collectors will ****** up the rare ones and the R models. I'm hopeful that this would leave other GT350s with the track package to depreciate more than those.

I'm no expert, just taking a wild guess.



If I'm wrong, I'll just buy something else.

For this kind of money for a street/track toy I would buy a Superlite RCR or Le Mans instead.

Looks like an amazing track weapon. Is that street legal?

I prefer to arrive and drive versus bringing a trailer.
