Interesting history lesson. The 2010 SS was on the GT500's heel with identical weight, 114 HP less and a $13,645 lower MSRP.

Kind of parallels the GT350R. A dedicated track car with a application specific FPC engine and carbon fiber wheels but would just barely get the win on a SS-1LE.

How about the 2017 GT350TP vs SS-1LE? The GT350 has a 71 HP advantage but will fall against the SS.

The GT PP vs LT-1LE...

This was the grand touring ZL1 against Fords best track car. In gen5, the less powerful, lighter track car won

Ford - Doing less with more.
