fordmantpw Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Drastically! Only rolling starts were done to eliminate differences in traction due to the wider CF wheels, but I was amazed by the difference. This is one thing the extra $15k for an R gets you. http://blog.caranddriver.com/tested-quantifying-the-performance-benefits-of-the-shelby-gt350rs-carbon-fiber-wheels/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

libertas Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 It is really a weight thing. Wheels are generally heavy. These are feather light. Jay Leno has a web thing where he showed off his GT and talked a bit about the wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
