For me, the (still very impressive) 7:32 time solidifies the awkward positioning of the GT350R since it doesn't have the pace of cheaper, used cars like the C6 Z06 and isn't going to be as nice of a DD as a C63/M3 type car
Fair enough. In the end it's still a pony car and built with that as a starting point no matter how fancy the engineers get.

What they did is quite amazing, especially when you consider the price point. What did a new c6z06 run? $80k+? I seem to recall seeing some at the dealership approaching 6 figures, but maybe my memory is cloudy. Regardless, if the GT350 comes in at under M4 prices then it's something to seriously consider if you're into a track car given its performance capabilities.
