Nope, the statistics point to about 2/3 of the orders have been the Tech Pack and 1/3 Track Pack and Base combined. But, many of these were ordered by the dealership rather than a customer. So, the numbers may not truly reflect what the actual customers want, but what the dealership thought the customer wanted. BUT, either way, 2/3 of the GT350's out there right now (in customer's hands or sitting on the dealer lots) can't go to the track without modification. Meanwhile, Carol Shelby is rolling over in his grave...
Not to mention, there have been several (I think four documented cases so far) of the Voodoo engine failing. They get a no oil pressure light (sometimes), and the engine seizes up. Two transmissions failed also (unrelated to the engine failures).
