Yes a R, White, blk roof & stripes, elect pkg. Just awaiting a vin# and then production.

Awesome! Congrats!

Nice. I want a white with blue stripe with red outline.

There were two of the new GT350s running at Sonoma Raceway yesterday--they looked pretty dang capable on the track. In the pits, however, there was a 1964 Fairlane full of Cortex goodies . . .

A 64 Fairlane...not a 1968 blue 'CamStang?

Dave was there . . . and his phone was running great!

I ordered a Magnetic with black stripe base with Track Pack and Cover...still waiting on my VIN too. My order and DORA are dated 6/4/15. My garage will look pretty interesting with a '16 GT350, '13 Boss 302, and a '69 Firebird with an ls, cage, and all the track goodies under construction! I think my Boss has more miles from driving to the track and running HPDE days than it does from just running around town!

I ran these down like they were standing still at Sonoma Raceway last week..... I have just a bit of a weight advantage... and more HP.... and of course - it is like many of these "track cars" from the factory -- it all depends on who is driving them. The "capabilities" are in the drivers hands.

Having said that -- I like them over the Camaro's.... The Camaro already has a "years old" look to it... where this is fresh and hard edged to me - like the new C7 (which I like).

The guys with the blown Vette's are all complaining about super charger heat soak at the track... and that's after running them very very little!

Greg makes a very valid point. To the average person, however, it's pretty cool to see what looks like a mistake or a Photoshop exercise:
