Thanks for fixing. The one I saw this morning had no advertising so they probably killed that link when they saw how many hits they were getting.

Nice video from in the crowd and usual specatacular unveiling.  However, the two big numbers ot revealed: actual MSRP and HP.

Does anyone know the VIN and/or owners of the 67, 68 and 69 GT500 cars that went across the stage at the start of the unveiling?   8)

Couple things.
1. No stick sucks but I bet it's an option in the future
2. Paddle shift will be awesome for us track dawgs
3. With all that said what I would want to know is what it weighs.

Anyone know answer to #3?

Too heavy for a track beast for most of us.  I wonder if we could put it on a diet and still add a cage and get like 3500 lbs?

I think shaving 700 pounds on a modern car would be quite the undertaking.

There is the guy on the FGT forum doing that to a GT350. Maybe he could tell you how much weight was shaved.

I think Impossible without cutting roof and making carbon fiber there and doors and removing all glass and etc.

What does 350/350R weigh?
