Built to replace the successful Boss 302R, The Shelby GT350R-C is based loosely around the production GT350R, which Ford revealed in January at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Powering the GT350R-C is the 5.2L V8 that makes 526 hp in production trim, which is reduced with a 58mm restrictor for competition. The V8 benefits from a flat-plane crankshaft that helps the engine produce maximum intake and exhaust flow through a specific firing order, which enhances cylinder filling and scavenging. It also gives the V8 a unique growl that is very noticeable, especially at the 8,000-plus rpm redline. The improved stiffness of S550 Mustang chassis combined with the race setup, gives drivers the most up-to-date suspension package which features revised spring rates and antiroll bars, lower ride height, unique track-tuned alignment settings, revised bushings and cross-axis ball joints in the front. It also features 15-inch front brakes and 18-inch wheels wrapped with Continental 275/35/18-inch racing slicks. The Mustang weighs 1519 Kilograms dry and utilizes a 3.31:1 final drive ratio. This car's inclusion would add the latest Mustang to GT as well as a modern counterpart to the original Shelby GT350.
