silvrsvt Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Some specs from Ford Racing:• Flat plane crank V8 with at least 500 horsepower• 400 pound-feet of torque• Ford's first ever magnetic ride suspension;• 130 pounds lighter than the GT350• 500 pounds lighter than Mustang GT• Larger shocks and suspension Guess thats where all that weight savings went...then again this car doesn't have a lot stuff in it either...but 3200lbs is nothing to sneeze at either!

Dave-S Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I wonder if they had to license the Magnetic Ride Suspension from GM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I wonder if they had to license the Magnetic Ride Suspension from GM? Actually, it would more likely be Ferrari or Mercedes. I think it's an in house system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopCat501 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 ^^^ Ding, ding, ding . . . . you are correct It was originally developed by Delphi right about the time GM spun them off . . . . but don't bring it up on GMI that it was a Delphi developed product and not a GM proper product.

Fgts Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Looks like Ford took a page out of Z28s playbook and offering a "creature comforts" package (a/c, nav,radio) to the GT350R. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
