Ford was first to market with the GT and GT350, but now it's GM's turn - they've given the masses a taste of what's to come and that will be enough to hold people off from buying at GT350 /R, and when the final product is shown, the masses will go Camaro.

IDK, maybe, but it is interesting that we are being bombarded with all this stuff all the sudden.
I'm guessing the GT350/350R is like the 5th Gen BOSS 302/302 LS...it will run for a few years then the replacement for the GT500 will come out. I fully expect to see as much increased performance over the prior generation street brawler as we saw for the track car when it comes to the Mustang. Ford shows no indication that they didn't come to play the game. The GT350R is going to be a contender with cars costing way more.
