God, that engine sound.

The engine design and exhaust note are like heaven. The whole kit while bad-arsed is less than what I would consider ideal (size and weight), but I honestly haven't jones'd for an American built car (okay, GT 40 and latter day GT don't count since that is like exotica-land) since.......well........I can't really remember when, it's been that long.

Ford definitely has a better idea. I just need to come up with my own so I can get one of these in my life without risking losing it in divorce court.

Pretty amazing how close the Z/28 is given how old it is. It'll be interesting to see if Chevy makes another super Camaro based on the new platform.

I'm glad that they didn't try to play up the flat-plane crank as much as the other publications have. The reality is that the 350R's incredible engine performance has very little to do with the crank.

That was a fun, well produced video. Thanks for sharing. I'm really glad to see how well Ford has done with the 350R.
